Indian Medical Students Warned Against US, Uzbekistan Schools
The Indian government is telling students not to go to certain medical schools in the US and Uzbekistan.
These schools aren't as good as they should be.
The government is worried the schools don't teach well or have good hospitals.
If students go there anyway, they might not be able to become doctors in India.
They should check the Indian government's website and ask the Indian embassy before they apply.
