There are many different considerations for students in India who are pursuing a career as a doctor. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to earn a seat in a private or public medical university in the country, which means most students focus on taking their MBBS abroad.
As with any type of decision, it is essential to gather the facts and understand the benefits and possible challenges of completing an MBBS abroad. This is a major decision for students and their families, but one that can be extremely rewarding and provide the education and experience needed to become a physician with the ability to work in international countries as well as at home in India.
Have You Done Your Research?
Universities and colleges around the world offer MBBS programs. However, not all universities provide education and degrees that are recognized outside of their country. Be sure the program is accredited and approved and that graduates find successful placement as doctors in India and throughout the world.
Are You Comfortable with Living Abroad?
Students obtaining an MBBS abroad will live away from their families for 5 years, and then complete their PG/Residency years. The best universities offering the MBBS program have the ability to work with students for placement for ACGME rotations in years 4 and 5 in the USA, the Caribbean, or in India.
Ideally, students should consider a free PG in the USA, where students can earn 11,850,000 rupees while completing their residency.
To ensure a positive experience when completing an MBBS internationally, work with a trusted admissions advisory service linked to the university. These agencies support students at all stages in their MBBS program, from admissions through to PG placement and beyond.
