Is a Medical degree from Manipal Univ recognised in Canada

[shylit]

Hello Friends,

I am interested in doing Medicine at Manipal University this year. Will that MBBS degree be recognized in Canada, since I might move back to my parents after my MBBS. Thanks

Cant say about Canada but of USA the rules are as follows



If a physician from a WHO-recognized Indian medical school wants to work as a physician in the United States of America, that physician must do the following:

Step 1) Register with the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) at www.usmle.org
Step 2) Take and pass both Step 1 and Step 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE)
Step 3) Apply, be accepted and complete a medical or surgical residency in the United States.

Regardless of whether your degree is a M.D. or a M.B.B.S., you'll have to complete a residency in the US.

Most foreign medical graduates with an M.B.B.S. will end up in primary care/family practice residencies. If you have a higher medical degree or DNB with a specialized focus (such as in surgery, ENT, orthopedics, etc), you will have a better chance of getting into a specialized competitive residency in the USA.

I recommend you to see the rules of Canadian medical norms for MBBS doctors of India. See what accreditation is mandatory for a MBBS doctor, who want to practice in Canada. Also contact the sikkim manipal university regarding the matter.
