Hello,

As a foreign medical graduate, you have several alternatives through which you can obtain a medical license in other countries. Some of them include:

United States: You can use the USMLE route. You will be required to do residence training in the U.S. only after passing your examinations before you can practice there.

For instance, in Canada , the MCCQEs are applied for apart from the MCCQE. Subsequently, this one may be followed by residency training.

In Australia , AMC tests, among them the MCQ, and the clinical exams may be undertaken. You can apply for medical registration after passing the test.

UK: Take PLAB exams, and then must have a supervised period of practice with the NHS.

Carry out country-specific individual research on requirements such as language proficiency and additional examination requirements.

Hello Diksha,

Since you've already cleared FMGE and are working in India, obtaining a medical license in other countries depends on their specific requirements. Here are some options you can explore:

1. United States (USMLE) : You can apply for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). It's a three-step exam. Once you pass, you'll need to complete a residency in the U.S. before being eligible for a medical license.
   
   

2. United Kingdom (PLAB) : You can take the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) test for practicing in the UK. Once you pass PLAB 1 and 2, and complete the required clinical experience, you can register with the General Medical Council (GMC).
   
   

3. Australia (AMC) : For Australia, you can apply for the Australian Medical Council (AMC) exams. This involves an AMC CAT multiple-choice exam and a clinical exam.
   
   

4. Canada (MCCQE) : In Canada, you’ll need to pass the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE), followed by residency training through the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS).

Research the specific pathways for each country as they may have additional requirements for foreign graduates, including internships or further training.
