Hi, I am doing my MD from Tbilisi, Georgia (Europe) and I want to clear the USMLE exam. If I want to write the exam around July 2022, when should I apply for it? Also, Should I travel to the US to write this exam or can I write it from Georgia itself ?

Hello,

USMLE is still in the process of completing their 2021 exams so as of now there is some time left, but do keep checking their website for further updates.

Step 1 ,2 and 3 are computer based tests which are administered at their centres worldwide.

Do check out the 2022 bulletin on their website:

can we give USMLE EXAM directly after giving neet exam or we should wait.

anirudha vats 5th Jul, 2021

Hey,

USMLE is an international exam which helps one to practice as a medical expert in USA. The exam comprises of three levels out of which two levels can be cleared in your hone country but it's mandatory to go give the level 3 exam in the USA.

The eligibility to apply for level 1 and level 2 is same and that is a student needs to be enrolled in an undergraduate medical course outside of USA as well as Canada.

So as far as your question is concerned you can't sit for USMLE soon after NEET exam. First you get enrolled then you prepare for a while and then appear for the examination.

Below I have attached a link that contains detailed information about the exam and it's eligibility criteria.

Hope that helps.

All the best

Thank you

I have to crack only USMLE exam to becoming a doctor in usa from India or I have to crack some other exam also.

Ananya Krishnan 13th Aug, 2021

Hello,

Yes, you only need to crack the USMLE which is a 3 part exam. If you are planning to do your MBBS in India and then move out, then you have 2 options to practice medicine in the US.

1.You can give the USMLE 1 and USMLE 2 from India since it is an online exam and then get Visa to complete USMLE 3 which is the Residency in US.

2.You can enroll for a Master’s program in the US to get a student Visa. You can prepare for USMLE 3 while completing your Masters. Once you have cleared USMLE Step 3, you can apply for residency in the hospitals.

sir from which class it should be best to prepare for Neet exam. AND After qualifying neet when we can give USMLE EXAM.

Virat Srivastava 29th Jun, 2021

Dear candidate, there is no such definite time to prepare for NEET. In our country, many coaching institutes start preparing students for NEET from eighth grade. However, majority of students start preparing for NEET/JEE after tenth grade and I personally believe that is best time to start preparing for NEET.

Eligibility for USMLE exam for students outside US:

Student is officially enrolled in, or a graduate of, a medical school outside the US and Canada listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) which meets ECFMG eligibility requirements & criteria.

However, in our country maximum people complete there MBBS, then give USMLE exam.

Hope, it helps!

how can we get residence after clearing all the three step in USMLE exam and how can we get job.

Nikita 6th Aug, 2021

Hello Aspirant,

This exam is taken after completing an Internship, the first year of residency. However, you can take it without doing an internship - many IMGs/FMGs do. A high score will help convince Program Directors to give them a spot in their residency program.

Passing Step 3 grants prospective physicians a license to practice medicine without supervision. The residency process will take 3 years. You get a job only after  performing the US residency process for 3 years.

All the best!

Is class 12 board exam result ever considered in neet ug or neet pg or in foreign exam like USMLE. Is it enough to get 85 percent in board exam or is more marks need for an admission in India or abroad

ktarakadivvya 4th Aug, 2021
Hi Aspirant

  • Class 12th board marks are not considered in NEET, but for applying NEET you need to secure minimum  50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. For General category it is 50%, for PWD it is 45% and for OBC,SC,ST it is 40%.
  • For PG or USMLE also 12th marks aren't considered.

As you are asking that 85% in 12th board exams are enough or not, yes it is good enough to be eligible for NEET exam. You can surely take the NEET exam and others by having 85 and above percentile. And your NEET result itself will be considered during admission for college. Only the respective entrance exam result will be considered for any Admission in colleges across India or Abroad.

Hope this information is useful for you. Feel free to ask more queries.

All the best!!
