International Students Programme Practicing At Millwork Clinic Houston

By Janet Bailey


An International Medical Student refers to a medical practitioner who has attained his/ her medical qualification from an institution domiciled and based out of America and Canada. It basically refers to a person who has obtained a degree or diploma on foreign soil outside the American border. The location of the medical school and not the citizenship determines whether one can be classified as an International Medical Student. An American who acquires a medical degree from a sub-continent University like in Saudi Arabia is definitely classified in this segment. Alternatively, a person with Saudi Arabia nationality who obtains a medical qualification from an institution located in Millwork Clinic Houston or Canada is not considered to be an International Medical Student.

A conversion can be initiated to try and bring a foreign acquired physician degree or diploma at par with one acquired on American soil. This conversion is guided by standard operating guidelines which are enforced without fear or favor above all which cannot be bypassed. It s both a clerical and statutory initiative as it involves submission of relevant documentation as well as abiding by laws which govern the conversion process.

The vetting of foreign attained physician academic and professional credentials are not undertaken by everyone. It is the preserve of a national institute widely known by its acronym as E. C. F. M. G. The reason of its existence is to preserve the quality of American health personnel in ensuring that academic accomplishments within the medical fraternity achieved on foreign soil measure up to anticipated standards of excellence. With a lot of qualified immigrants flocking into the Americas, the need to safeguard the quality of medical practitioners is of paramount importance hence the functioning of this institute of national significance with representative offices dotted around the entire nation.

Two methods to ascertain the suitability of foreign acquired physician academic credentials whether they can be used on the American healthcare landscape are widely used.

The written exams are under two categories. The categories are Clinical Knowledge and finally Clinical Skills. Attained medical qualifications are also verified. The process of verification is to determine the quality aspect of both the qualification as well as the reputation and reliability of the university where the qualification was attained.

The ECFMG has its own comprehensive database of all tertiary institutes worldwide which teaches medical aligned courses and which they deem to meet their criteria. This criterion is with regards to the Quality aspects of their courses. This database is widely known as the World Directory of Medical Schools.

An international student overseas should ascertain whether the college he/she intends to enroll or is currently enrolled is enlisted in the World Directory of Medical Schools. For an overseas college to make it on this list depends on underlying requirements which are depended on a number of issues. The length of the medical programmes is one of the key issues. Other issues involve the academic and professional credentials of the tutors, the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) activities of the tutors and college as a whole, the infrastructure and lastly whether their institution has global recognition.

From 2023 onwards, any international students who wish to be eligible for registration in the Americas will have to ensure that the tertiary college which endowed him/ her with the qualification has accreditation.
