How To Study Mbbs In Usa Or Uk?

Overview: The methodologies for pursuing MBBS degrees in the USA and the UK diverge significantly. While the UK system bears some resemblance to the PLAB standards, the US system, governed by the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination), comprises three distinct steps: USMLE-1, USMLE-2, and USMLE-3. Indian students who have completed MBBS often encounter challenges when attempting the first step of the USMLE. In the UK, Indian doctors may face difficulties in acceptance unless they have accrued 3-5 years of experience before applying for the PLAB-based entrance test for PG programs. There are two pathways for pursuing medical programs in the USA: taking the MCAT in the USA or embarking on a bachelor's degree program at a USMLE-approved university. Upon completing their BS degrees, students can then pass the USMLE-1 exam, often offered at various universities in the Caribbean Islands.
