Medical Degrees Recognition
UK Recognition of medical degrees in the UK
The General Medical Council (GMC) is responsible for determining who may practice medicine in the UK and which medical schools are accepted. All doctors who want to practice in the UK must obtain GMC registration.
Graduates from M&D-partnered medical schools based in Europe usually experience very few or no academic restrictions registering as a doctor within Europe, including the UK.
Graduates of medical schools based outside of Europe, including the Caribbean, are usually required to pass the PLAB examination administered by the GMC. Only students graduating from GMC recognised courses may take the PLAB. Passing this exam allows students to move on to Foundation year 1 or year 2 training at NHS hospitals in the UK.
However please note that recognition policies may change. We therefore advise that recognition of medical qualifications be confirmed by contacting the GMC directly via their webpage: Click here

US Recognition of medical degrees in the US
Graduates are usually required to pass all steps of the USMLE examination before they may obtain a licence to practise medicine in the US. Graduates from Caribbean medical schools are taught under USMLE guidelines, with the intention to have a high USMLE pass rate. Therefore, students interested in practising medicine in the USA are strongly advised to consider studying medicine at a Caribbean medical school.
For information on the recognition of medical or dental degrees in countries outside the UK, please contact the medical council or equivalent in the relevant country in which you intend to gain recognition.
Opening hours (Mon-Fri): 10:00 - 18:00 GMT. Closed December 23rd - January 2nd inclusive.
Many UK medical schools and dental schools receive many applications to study medicine or study dentistry and places are very limited. Therefore, the preparation of a UCAS application form for medical or dental school is very important. Online Medical Admission forums are an excellent way to exchange views and ideas on what medical schools are looking for and which medical and which dental schools actually ask the toughest interview questions. The premed course is an excellent way to secure a place at a UK medical schools in the UK or medical schools based abroad. Medical and dental school applicants are strongly advised to get as much medical work experience and possible. Medical work experience seminars and dental work experience seminars consist of a series of medical seminars and dental seminars at a NHS hospital based in Britain. Many students also fine that UKCAT revision and UCAS Personal statement checking is very helpful.
Fierce competition for UK medical school places has encouraged students to embark on medical degrees and dental degrees outside of the UK, such as: Medical schools in Poland, Medical schools in Slovakia, Dental schools in Slovakia, Medical schools in Prague, Dental schools in Prague and Medical schools in the Caribbean.
