Is it better to pursue medical degree MBBS from Central America or Philippines? Which is given more priority?

Dear Koushik, Either of countries is fine. Important is to choose a good college wisely in either country. That is what will make a difference in what you will learn. If you want to practice in India, then you will have to appear for MCI screening test to get your license. You will not be given any special preference even if you do it from Central America. In terms of cost Philippines is preferable. Central America is being promoted in India as a gateway to become a practioner in USA. But what you need to know is that you need to score well in USMLE for that. USMLE can be given even if you do it from Philippines or any other country for that matter. Seats are very limited. It is very competitive. Some colleges in Central America offer clinical rotations in USA. But even after this you for you to take up PG in USA, scoring exceptionally well in USMLE is the only way. So, choose a good college in any country and don't be blinded by rosy stories woven by agents. To know more you can write back. All the best. Regards Anand Dhillon
