A candidate is eligible to give the MCAT exam if he or she is interested in pursuing one of the following courses:

  • M.D.

  • D.O.

  • Podiatric (D.P.M.)

  • Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)

  • Any other healthcare or medicine related program which requires MCAT scores in order to meet admission criteria.

Students not from the US and Canada who are enrolled in an MBBS program are not required satisfy any other additional eligibility requirements. But students who are not from the US or Canada and are pursuing a program in healthcare and medicine other than MBBS or have no immediate intention in pursuing a profession in healthcare and medicine are required to obtain special permission in order to be eligible for the MCAT exam. The special permission requirements and other details can be found on the official AAMC website.

Ragini To get MD/DO degree in the United States, you should be doing MBBS in India, and then the eligibility has fewer restrictions to do MD in USA as u can write directly MCAT to get into MD in USA. So, if you are of Pharm.D background from India, then you need to be licensed Pharmacist out there in USA (for which: fpgee, toefl internship, naplex, mpje) and do pre requisite courses and then may apply for MCAT and get into MD..

For USA natives, to do MD they need set of interdisciplinary health sciences program and also masters in cology, biomedical sciences etc and then they write MCAT to get into MD out there ...

Instead, you can try for USA licensure by completing exams, internship and do two years pharmacy residency and become clinical pharmacist, which is equally respected field as physicians in USA.. good luck. If you have any other queries, reach me on LinkedIn (Shaik Ruman, Pharm.D from Sree Dattha college, Hyd)
