Unfortunately, many universities and colleges offering an MBBS in countries outside of India do not provide accurate information to prospective students. They often provide vague or misleading information about the value of the MBBS they offer, and if it will qualify students to complete their PG in the USA, Canada, India, the Caribbean, or other countries throughout the world.
What to Compare
This creates a very significant challenge in choosing a program for an MBBS abroad for Indian students. When students and families attempt to research the program and learn about the facility and the program, they may have limited information other than what the college or university provides.
Easy factors to consider are the cost of tuition, the cost of accommodations and living expenses, and the cost of travel for the student and the family. It may be very difficult to research hidden or additional fees that can quickly add up. Working with a medical education consultancy can help in comparing the various options for an MBBS abroad for Indian students.
Clinical Rotations Vs. Observerships
To help avoid problems in choosing an MBBS abroad for Indian students, an important piece of information to clarify and understand is the ability to complete ACGME approved rotations after graduation with an MBBS.
Most universities in Russia, China, and countries throughout Europe and Central Asia offer observerships and not full Green Book clinical rotations. While they may be at ACGME approved teaching hospitals, the students are not hands-on with the patients during observerships, which means they are not accepted by US hospitals when students apply to complete a PG.
