Whitney Mumm's blog 4


Every day that we have a video link with Russia I learn something new. On Monday, one of the main topics that we talked about was professions. Do we dream bigger or just have different dreams? It is easy to see that what professions are classified as very important there are not as important in the United States and what is important here may not be important in Russia. I thought that it was really interesting how medical doctors are not that important or as popular in Russia. In the United States, it is mostly believed that becoming a medical doctor is one of the best professions a person can get into. When I think of medical doctor I think smart, hard-working, tons of money, and caring. It was a shock to me how they were saying that you do not have to be very smart to become a doctor in Russia. It really makes me wonder how patients are treated there and what kind of technology they have. Are we more advanced than them in the medical career? This is a very interesting topic for me and I plan on doing more research.  I posted a website that has information on medical education in Russia.
