MBBS IN USA

The system for MBBS in USA is absolutely different than the one followed by most of the European (MBBS in Russia / MBBS in Ukraine etc.) and Asian countries (MBBS in China / MBBS in Nepal etc.).

WHY MBBS IN USA

Though among all other options, USA looks to be the most expensive medical program. However, in reality is happens to be the best, optimum and the most economical program. This is due to the fact that

1. Medical Council of India (MCI) permits students to get registered without MCI screening
2. The doctors earn US$ 3,500 during residency in USA (4 Years) making the total cost of the program as ZERO!
3. There are no capitation fees for PG while in India, it touches more than Rs. 2 Cr or other PG programs are not approved in India.
4. The average salary of a licensed doctor in USA is more than US$ 200,000 per year in any of the hospitals.

In USA in order to practice, you have to complete your board certified residency (Equivalent to PG in India) and just Bachelor level MBBS is not sufficient. Accordingly, if you just complete bachelor level, you would have to give the MCI screening test in India. However, no one returns back at Bachelor level since the reason to go to USA is PG.

PROGRAM FORMAT:

Initially, the MBBS aspiring students have to complete Bachelor level which is divided into 3 parts before going for the Residency in US hospitals as given below:

Accordingly, the first 3 years need to be spent at St Lucia and from there onwards, you move to USA under study visa at the hospitals affiliated with the University. Every student is prepared for MCQ based USMLE-1 during this 3 years program and the board conducts exam for them at the end of their first 3 years. This is the main competitive exam for the students. Generally Indian students are able to crack this due to their educational skills gathered in India.

The next 2 years are to be Clinical rotation in USA covered in the Greenbook. You have an option to do first year Core rotation of 48 weeks) at Jamaica / St Lucia / India (Hyderabad at Medcity Hospital – for lower cost) and the last year (Elective rotation consisting of 28 weeks + 4 weeks of mandatory rotation in Neuro department). At the end of the clinical rotation, the students need to give USMLE 2 CK (Clinical Knowledge – written exam) and 2CS (Clinical Skills – Oral) and they proceed to the Residency at an ACGME approved hospital. You start earning around US$ 3,500 as stipend for the next 4 years which takes care of all your living cost + gives back the money that you spent during the Bachelor program. This is the best part of doing Medical program in USA. That is why we recommend this above all the other programs.

ACCREDITATIONS:

Few universities claim to have accreditations such as CAAM-HP (A very important aspect) but countable universities have this kind of approvals. Listing on FAIMER, Approval by USMLE and list of hospitals in collaboration with the university for conducting the clinical rotation is the most important thing to be considered. So do not just go by the cost of study – go technically sound and for the most value for money university.

EXAM FORMAT:

For MBBS in USA, it is not only the USMLE approved and listed college degree which is important but also the exams conducted by the USMLE which decides the successful roadmap of the student.

At the first step of USMLE-1 – the minimum passing marks are 192 while the average score for around 65,000 students in 2014 was 229. Generally, the students scoring above 250 marks easily make it to the residency in USA. You can give the exam again in order to improve your score and DOLPHIN EDU can place you as a teacher in the same university or other islands after completion of bachelor to ensure your entry to the Residency program later. The average salary for the teacher is also no less than Rs. 18 Lac per annum which is fare better than the average income of a fresh doctor in India.

SUCCESS RATIO:

The number of students appearing for USMLE-1 is around 65,000 compared to the residency seats of 35,000. Accordingly, the chances of getting through the residency are more than 50%. In short, on average, every student makes it to the residency in the second attempt at the most.

Just compare this with the number of doctors passing every year in India to be around 35,000 in compared to the PG Medical seats across the country in government colleges are only 1,200! The chances of getting through PG medical seat in India are lesser than 3%!
