MBBS in North America

Students benefit from world-class infrastructure, high-quality clinical rotations, and direct preparation for the USMLE and a US residency.

Duration

The total duration of the medical program in North America is 6 years.

Entrance Exam

Qualifying the NEET-UG exam is mandatory for Indian students seeking admission to MBBS programs abroad and for eligibility to practice medicine in India. NEET-UG qualifying scores remain valid for 3 years for MBBS admissions abroad.
