My son is in final year MBBS at Himmatnagar in Gujarat. He has already cleared his USMLE part 1. Can you pl provide me with a list of universities that offer scholarships to foreign trained students for pursuing their MD in the United States.

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for getting in touch with us. Certainly, we’d be glad to assist! Although studying medicine in the United States might be beneficial, it's vital to keep in mind that the application process can be very competitive. Mentioned below are some of the best medical schools in the USA, along with a description of the application process:

Top Medical Schools in the United States:
1. Harvard University
2. Johns Hopkins University
3. Stanford University
4. University of California--San Francisco
5. University of Pennsylvania (Perelman)
6. Washington University in St. Louis
7. Duke University
8. University of California--Los Angeles (Geffen)
9. Yale University
10. Columbia University

Remember that this is not an exhaustive list, as there are several additional good medical universities in the United States.

Application Procedure:

1. Prerequisites: Before applying, your daughter must obtain a bachelor's degree (often a pre-medical or cognate degree) with prerequisite coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, and maths.

2. MCAT: The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a requirement for admission to the majority of American medical schools. It is a standardized exam that evaluates an applicant's understanding of scientific principles, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

3. Recommendation Letters: Your daughter will require outstanding letters of recommendation from professors, mentors, or professionals who can attest to her intellectual prowess and character.

4. Statement of Purpose: Typically, applicants must compose a convincing personal statement outlining their purpose to pursue a medical career, relevant experiences, and attributes that make them a viable candidate.

5. Application via AMCAS or AACOMAS: The majority of medical schools use centralized application systems: the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) for MD programs and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service (AACOMAS) for DO programs.

6. Additional Applications: Some colleges may request secondary applications with additional essays or questions after the initial application. These are used to further determine the applicant's suitability for the program.

7. Interviews: Your daughter will be invited to the schools for interviews, if chosen. This serves as an opportunity for her to learn more about the program and for the school to learn more about her.

8. Acceptance: She will have to select one institution and file the necessary paperwork if she receives acceptance offers.

9. Visa Procedure: The university's office for international students will assist your daughter with the visa application procedure when she accepts an offer.

10. Medical Licensing Exams: After completing the medical program in the United States, she will need to pass the United States Medical Licencing Examination (USMLE) in order to practise medicine.

It's important to thoroughly examine the programs and make appropriate plans because each university may have unique criteria and deadlines. Getting advice from academic advisors, mentors, or business experts might be advantageous because the application process can be complicated.

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: Hi John...Preparing for the USMLE involves clearing three steps, with an estimated total cost of $3,000–$5,000 for exam fees and preparation materials. Additional costs include travel and accommodation for Step 2 CS (if required) and residency interviews. Sponsorships or scholarships are limited, but some medical organizations and universities offer financial assistance.
