It’s a common dream to study and settle in USA for Indians. However, the system to pursue medical education & settle in USA is absolutely different than the one followed by most of the European-countries like Russia / Ukraine / Georgia or Asian countries like China or Philippines. Eligibility for MBBS in Abroad requires a satisfactory score in the 12th board examinations. There are mainly 3 ways of pursuing PG in USA after MBBS in India or even MBBS from Abroad as well as after MBBS in USA and settle in USA. They are explained as follows:
1) Direct MBBS in USA( The high cost, least chosen option by Indian students):
Every year, huge number of students from USA and international arena give MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), an entrance exam for MBBS in America to get the admission to top medical colleges in USA for medical training in USA. There are more than 350+ medical universities in USA. As per the USA medical education system, the exam is monitored and scores are released by AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges).
These are funded by the US government which costs you lesser for the bachelor level MD program. However, just like India, it is highly competitive to get through MCAT. All the local students give this exam to get admission to the top medical schools in USA. Accordingly, getting a MCAT score to get into the state medical universities is also the aim of every American appearing for MCAT. You can give MCAT after completion of Pre-Medical course. This is an extremely difficult way and quite an expensive road map to pursue MBBS in USA leading to Post graduation courses in USA universities. You may download Brochure for MCAT exam in case you wish to take this route. This tells us how high MBBS in USA for Indian student’s fees is!
2) The MBBS in USA via Caribbean route ( Affordable and highly chosen by Indian students) :
This option allows you to skip the MCAT exam and reduces the total budget of MBBS in USA right up to PG courses in USA to Rs. 65-75 lakhs. It is the highest chosen options by Indian students today. The universities in Caribbean Islands provide education only for the first 3.5 years – 4 Trimesters (leading to B.S. Degree till USMLE-1 Exam) and balance 6 years would be in the mainland of USA. You may apply for admission to MBBS in USA with Scholarships since it is available for Indian students at International Amercian University.

3) The MBBS in low cost universities with PG medicine in USA route ( The best option for students who wish to settle down in USA at a comparatively low cost) :
Medical education in USA for Indian students at PG level is available at an affordable cost. This route is not made aware to a lot of students due to the selfish intentions of many agents in India. Today, every student (low-high budget) has a chance of pursuing Post graduation in USA and settling down over there with a secured medical career. This is the best suitable option for students with a budget of Rs. 15lacs- 50lacs who wish to study MBBS Abroad. As per this route, you can complete your MBBS from Russia, China, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Philippines, etc and complete your Postgraduate medical courses in US.

STEP – 2 (Arriving to USA and completing Step 2 CS)
On completion of USMLE 2 CK , the students have to pursue PG level program (Also called as Residency). The first part of USMLE Step 2 CK is a computer based exam. The student can appear from across the world. The last part Step 2 CS needs to be given from USA since it is a practical exam. Generally all the students from the top medical universities pass this exam without much problem since it is not a competitive exam. Step 2 is just a qualifying exam.

Basic Rule To Practice In USA.
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, even if you are from any of the top medical colleges in USA or Abroad. Accordingly, you are suggested to start your journey at MCI approved top medical universities Abroad. – LVIV MEDICAL UNIVERSITY is highly chosen among all the MBBS colleges in Abroad for this route.
However, no one returns back at Bachelor level since the reason to go to USA is PG.
MCI SCREENING TEST / FMGE REGULATIONS.
Please read the last paragraph on this rules & regulation on MCI website.
Program Format For Indian Students 2020.
Since the Indian students opting to study MBBS Abroad do not appear for MCAT (since they have not completed their B.S. degree in India), they need to complete their USMLE Step 1 and step 2 CK and then go to USA for further process. From there onward, they move to mainland of USA for PG level residency.
Green Book Rotation At ACGME Teaching Hospitals.
After completing USMLE Step 2 CK(Clinical Knowledge – written exam) and USMLE Step 2 CS (Clinical Skills – Oral) and they proceed to the Residency at an ACGME approved hospital. At this stage, you must understand the difference between Observership vs. Clinical Rotation.
Earning Back In PG What You Spent At MBBS Level.
During Residency (PG Level) You start earning around US$ 3,500 to US$ 5,500 depending on the hospital 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. The total duration of MBBS Abroad + Post Graduation in medicine in USA is thus around 9 years up to PG level, just like in India to takes 8.5 years.
Many students feel that the cost of studying MBBS Abroad is very high. However, the reality of study in Abroad for MBBS cost up to bachelor level is lower in countries such as China, Russia, Ukraine. Since the cost to study in Indian private colleges is very high, it has become more favourable to study MBBS Abroad + study PG medicine in USA for Indian students. Thus, there are many options for MBBS abroad with low fees.
Choosing The Right University Program.
There are many different countries, different Universities. Every Indian student who is looking to do their MBBS Abroad needs to refer to the MCI Passing Ratio report (insert link) provided by the Govt of India to guide Indian students rightly on which countries and universities Abroad should be chosen as against the promotions of universities by agents in India. It is important to make sure that the chosen university has an MCI passing ratio of min 20% and above as this would guarantee fully English medium programs and a high quality of education for the simple reason that if an Indian student is taught in Russian, Chinese or any other language other than English, he shall not pass MCI screening test at all. Going to universities below 20% ratio are bilingual with a low quality of education. It is not only about MBBS fees in USA. The students must be careful in selection of the university leading to PG in USA. NEED UNIVERSITY SELECTION SUPPORT
Fees Structure For Medical Program In USA / LOW COST.
The fees structure for MBBS study Abroad + PG in USA ranges from Rs. 15lacs – 50lacs. To know the complete details of MBBS in various countries leading to PG in USA, click here. As far as the cost for PG in USA is concerned, PG is the stage to earn back the entire amount or even more than the entire amount spent on MBBS in Abroad countries. The only cost incurred by the student would be the initial, one- time cost of Air fare, visa, living cost. There is no tuition fee as PG takes place in hospitals in USA.
Out of total 1 Million medical practitioners currently available in USA, around 26% are International medical graduates. The data is published by “American Medical Association” – or AMA. The Indians are proud community in USA since almost 25% of these international students are of Indian origin! If you are a medical aspirant looking to study MD / MBBS in USA, you must visit AMA website.
However, from May, 2016, the government of India has denied issuance of “NORI“. No obligation to return to India – NORI for Indian doctors looking to pursue PG in USA is mandatory. This certificate does not allow you to work in USA after PG. Accordingly, the Indian doctors need to search for alternatives. Many Indian doctors have started their journey to study Medical PG in Germany.
There are more than 2,000 Indian students who are stranded in Philippines due to the problem of NMAT. Most of the low quality medical colleges in Philippines take more than 200 students for Pre-Medical program. Out of them only 50% actually pass NMAT exam. NMAT is the qualifying exam to enter MD program in Philippines.
The medical colleges have limited capacity for intake to MD level programs for international students. Accordingly, only 25% of the Indian students who passed NMAT are able to get a seat in medical program. The students are requested to go through the “Advisory issued by Indian Embassy ” given below to ensure clarity. Do not fall prey to wrong intentions of the agents. The students are advised against choosing the low cost medical colleges in Philippines.
Accordingly, this route is also not advised to the Indian students.
