Recognition & Licensing
Recognition & Licensing
Recognition and future licensing are among the most important issues to investigate before enrolling in an overseas medical program.
What Students Should Verify
- Recognition status of the institution
- Current eligibility for the intended career pathway
- Course structure and clinical training
- Internship requirements
- Applicable Indian regulatory requirements if the student plans to return to India
- Requirements of the licensing authority in the country where the student intends to practise
Indian Students
Students planning to practise medicine in India should review current National Medical Commission rules and applicable regulations before choosing a foreign medical program.
Recognition is program- and jurisdiction-specific. Do not rely on generic “WHO/MCI/NMC approved” advertising without verifying the exact institution and current requirements.
