Hello

Unlike MBBS , in which you have to qualify NEET UG to be able to get admission abroad for MBBS, in PG there is no requirement to qualify NEET PG first. You can directly do a PG abroad but there are a few conditions attached. MCI recognizes the PG degree from only 5 countries which are USA,UK,New Zealand, Australia and Canada. If you want to do your PG in USA you only have to give USMLE which is a Multi stage exam and requires travel to USA. Compared to it NEET PG is a single step exam (and is not that expensive) so you can give it to if you want to.

Alternatively, you can also apply for PG in UK (which is a very good option for Indians) for which you will have to give PLAB exam.

Hello!

Yes you can move to Canada for M .Pharma course after completing B.Pharma from India. But first of all, you will have to qualify a english proficiency test like IELTS/Toefl as english is not your first language. Then, you have to get high score(about 320) in GRE to apply to Canadian Universities. Keep in mind, to already have some work experience(about 2-3 years) as a pharmacist in India before applying to these universities.

Then the next step is to get your Indian B.Pharma degree verified by the the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC). Then give the PEBC certifying exam in Canada and attain a license as a pharmacist.

You dont have to appear USMLE, it is only for International Medical graduates(i.e for MBBS graduates) in USA. For B.Pharma graduates, you have to appear the PEBC certification exam in Canada.

Hope this helps!

United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is an exam conducted for fresh medical graduates in order for them to receive their practicing licence. It takes part in 2 steps, step 1 being you assesment, whether you can apply the concepts you learnt in med school to actual medicine practice. It is a one day exam divided into 60 minute blocks conducted over 8 hours of a single test session. The number of questions in a single block may be 40 (max) and the total number of questions can be as much as 280.

For medical students who have graduated outside the USA and Canada, you have to apply through ECFMG on IWA (Interactive Web Applications).

Hi,

Well the medical college where you will be studying will prepare you accordingly for the USMLE. The focus is more on giving you the knowledge and in the process the preparation happens automatically for USMLE Or other license examination. You can also do the preparation yourself. The syllabus is what you study already in your degree course.

Hi,

In USA there is only one medical degree and that is MD and is equivalent to mbbs that you will do. Once you qualify usmle you will then look for residency program in a hospital. After you get a residency, then you will continue your medical education under the residency program of the hospital. And you won't get citizenship by clearing usmle. Citizenship has its own rules and regulations.

Hi,

Well no you won't get citizenship after clearing usmle exam because usmle exam allows a student to go for residency program but not for citizenship. Citizenship rules are completely different and should not be confused with usmle. Usmle is licensing exam to practice medicine which is given by medical graduates to enter residency.

Hi,

There are large number of medical colleges out there in US but getting into a medical school is very difficult and if you plan to do mbbs here and then go for residency program after clearing usmle then also the process is quite difficult and very competitive. You need to be a student with an undergraduate degree with pre medicine track in USA to get into medical school in USA or you need to have mbbs to apply for usmle and then residency program.

Hi,

Usmle iis not an affiliation. It is the medical licensing exam in USA that all the graduates need to give in order to practice medicine in the country. No matter who you are and where you are from, to practice medicine in USA, you need to give usmle exam.

Hi,

Well once you are done with your mbbs studies, you can go for usmle exam which ocuurs in three stages. Two levels in your own country and then for the third level exam you need to travel US. In US the degree mbbs or ms is not there. There is just MD which is a four year program after undergraduate studies. And once you are done with that you look for residency where you further select your specialisation.

I hope this answer helps.

All the best.
