	Medical school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A medical school, or faculty of medicine, is a tertiary educational institution, or part of such an institution, which is involved in the education of future medical practitioners (medical doctors).
		In India, admission to medical colleges is organized both by the central government CBSE as well as the state governments entrance tests, after the students complete their 10+2 education.
		However, not all medical schools in Canada necessarily require a bachelor's degree for entry, for example McGill University's medical school accepts applicants after a two-year CEGEP diploma, which is the equivalent of other provinces's 12th grade plus one year of university studies after 12th grade.

		In the United Kingdom students generally commence their medical studies without any preliminary higher education, typically at the age of eighteen or nineteen.
		It is increasingly common for medical students to spend an additional year at medical school (lengthening a five year course to six years) studying for an intercalated Bachelor of Science (BSc).

	sBMJ Higher education in the United Kingdom: who should pay?
		During the 1960s and 1970s the expansion of higher education, including additional numbers of medical students, was accompanied by a grant scheme for UK students that was sufficiently generous to prevent sizeable student debt.
		Across the world medical education is balanced somewhat precariously between those government departments responsible for education and those responsible for health.
		At present, entry is largely determined by the educational qualifications of the applicant.
