MCA graduate with limited budget dreams of studying in the US: What are my options?

Ans: Hello Naba,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing the final year of MBBS at Kolkata Medical College and wishes to further study in the USA. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that although a promising opportunity, pursuing medicine overseas, specifically in the United States involves substantial monetary constraints. Nevertheless, remember that your son could seek financial aid from numerous sources. I would recommend that he looks into the available grants or scholarships provided by private organizations or universities that aim to assist international medical students. Furthermore, although typically needing a cosigner who is a citizen or permanent resident of the US, there are student loans that are designed exclusively for foreign students attending US universities. Your son could explore these as well. Not just that, he could also engage in on-campus part-time jobs, this can be an excellent way to defray expenditures. To learn about the available possibilities and prerequisites for international students wishing to pursue medicine in the USA, I would suggest that your son conducts an extensive study and gets in touch with universities, offices offering financial assistance, as well as looks into the various scholarships offered.

Ans: Hello Lijo,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that you have completed your Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and now want to work in the USA or Canada. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that relocating from one nation to another for a job can be difficult, particularly when licensing tests and monetary constraints are entailed. There are a number of options available to nursing professionals looking for jobs in the United States or Canada. One such option is through programs viz., the NCLEX-RN for Canada or the NCLEX for the United States, which mandate clearing examinations as well as adhering to particular prerequisites for registration. Remember that loans, scholarships, or other forms of monetary assistance granted by organizations, institutions, as well as government programs with an aim to assist overseas candidates can help reduce the burden of financial restraints. Moreover, I would recommend that you look into the various sponsorship programs offered by healthcare organizations or institutions in the United States or Canada as they may provide opportunities to find employment and maybe assist in covering a part of the relocation costs. In addition, you can acquire meaningful information as well as advice through building connections within the nursing community, being a part of discussion groups, as well as getting in touch with experts who have undergone comparable experiences.
