Respected sir Covert university,Uk My son completed MBBS in Philippines. Now he has applied for MPH Is it good sir Kindly suggest me about the course and University please

Ans: Hi Nageswari,

I hope this message finds you well.

I wanted to inquire whether he has completed the FMGE in India. Without passing this exam, pursuing opportunities abroad may not be advisable. It is important for him to at least attempt the licensure exam and pass it. Without this qualification, seeking higher education will not be appropriate.

Additionally, I want to emphasize that completing a Master of Public Health (MPH) after studying medicine is often viewed as a step to gain entry into the U.S. healthcare system; however, it may not be as beneficial if he has not completed the licensure exam. If he intends to pursue higher education in medicine, he needs to finish the licensure exam in order to practice medicine effectively.

Therefore, it’s crucial that he focuses on completing the FMGE exam in India first

Good day Sir. My son is in final year MBBS and shall graduate in 2025 and complete his compulsory internship in a April 2026 . He does not prefer Family Medicine or paediatric medicine and he has not finalized his passion for any particular stream yet. He wants to do his Masters from UK or USA. I understand USMLE is required for USA and PLAB is required for UK studies. My queries are : 1. What are expenses for completing USMLE and PLAB ? 2. What are possibilities of getting Residencies in USA / UK ? 3. Shall he require additional financial support after getting Residencies ? Pros and Cons of studies in both the countries ? 5. Any specific requirement for studies abroad ? 6. Finally, your suggestion as to where my son should do his Masters after completing his MBBS in India ? I shall appreciate your valuable guidance . Thanks and regards Sujit Roy
Ans: Hi Sujit,
Hello,

I am pleased to learn that your son will be completing his MBBS next year and is considering pursuing higher education. From your query, it seems that you are contemplating whether he should pursue his higher education abroad. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision. Some of these factors include:

1. He will need to clear the USMLE or PLAB exams, which will require dedicated effort. Until he completes these exams, he will require both financial and moral support.

2. The specialization he is interested in pursuing is a crucial factor to consider.

3. The choice of university will also play a significant role, as it may impact the availability of financial aid.

4. Additionally, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of studying in the USA or the UK and make an informed decision based on the specifics of each country.

Ultimately, the decision about his higher education should be made based on your financial circumstances and the support that can be provided without undue strain.

But i feel USA is better option when compare to UK.

"All the best to your son for his future endeavors."
