If you are about to get enrolled into the medical school the form of the question would be different, whereas, if you have already been accepted into the program then the question would be different. You should clarify in your question, where you stand.  We need qualified representatives from the ranks of the Muslims in every sphere of life. In medicine, there should be male and female doctors, so that the Muslim community can treat itself under the guidelines of the Islamic law.

So the important thing is one should make sure that seeking education is done properly and it is possible that a person can attain an education with care and precaution. And if it’s not possible to study, while fully adhering to the laws of Islam, then there might be room to study somewhere else. In this case, we would say that that this education can be achieved at another place.
