HOW TO CHOOSE

Selecting the right university

Use this checklist to evaluate and shortlist universities before applying.

Look for WDOMS listing, ECFMG recognition (Europe), and FAIMER recognition (USMLE).

✓

Annual graduate output

Five or more graduating batches a year is a good indicator of capacity and stability.
