Only 16 percent of applicants are admitted. The medical education in Bulgaria lasts for at least six years. It comprises of a workload of approximately 4700 academic hours of well-coordinated theoretical and practical training and 45 exams. The study is completed after 310 days of practical training and successfully passing six state exams.
