Can i do pg in usa for free of cost as an Indian mbbs student?

Ans: Hello Alphones,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. As an answer to your query, I would like to let you know that if a person holding an Indian MBBS degree wishes to study Doctor of Medicine (MD) in the USA, he/she will generally require to undergo a procedure known as "medical residency." There are numerous steps that one will need to consider. Mentioned below is the same:

As the first step, to ascertain whether the candidate qualifies for a license in the US, they will need to get their educational qualifications assessed by organizations viz., the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Secondly, they will need to clear the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1, Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), and Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS). Remember that one’s knowledge and abilities to practice medicine in the USA are evaluated through these exams. Thirdly, upon clearing the exams, they will be required to apply for residency posts using the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) or similar matching initiatives. Bear in mind that residency programs are highly competitive, and applicants need to show their qualifications and compatibility with the program. After being matched, students enroll in a residency training course in the field of specialization they have opted for. Based on the area of expertise, residency training usually takes three to seven years to complete. Lastly, after having completed residency training, students have the option to become board-certified in their field. They can do so by clearing extra tests that the relevant specialist board administers.

I would like to let you know that although an MBBS from India might not automatically qualify someone to practise medicine in the US, they can still pursue a medical career in the country by completing a medical residency program, as long as they meet the prerequisites and conditions.

Ans: Hi,

Thank you contacting us. To answer your question, for postgraduate medical degrees in clinical branches abroad, many programs offer competitive salaries during residency or clinical training. In countries like the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, depending on the location and specialization, the average salary for a resident can range from $40,000 to $70,000 per year, which is roughly equal to INR 50 lakhs per year. You will have to review the specific residency programs to obtain detailed information on their respective remuneration.

Ans: Hi Poojaji......An MBBS degree from India is valid in the USA, but to practice there, your daughter will need to pass the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) and possibly complete a residency program in the U.S. Studying in countries with affordable fees like the Philippines or Ukraine could be considered, as their MBBS programs are often more recognized in the U.S. than India's. Alternatively, she could pursue a pre-med track in the U.S. and later apply to American medical schools, which align directly with U.S. licensure requirements.
