Question:

Are the qualifications received at Romanian Medical Schools internationally recognised? Will I be able to practice in my home country or in the US/Canada/UK?

Answer

The universities we work with in Romania are all registered with the Ministries of Health and Education in Romania. They are listed on the WHO directory of international medical schools and are on the ECFMG/FAIMER database ( http://imed.ecfmg.org/ ). Romania has the Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ARACIS), which is an independent organisation responsible for evaluating all Romanian universities. All the universities we work with have ARACIS approval and listing.

Yes, the Romanian universities we work with are recognised and accredited internationally.

We urge all our clients to do their own research on what procedures are involved in getting accredited in their own countries or countries they wish to practice in.

We are very confident about the opportunities available internationally for graduates from Romanian faculties. Know that there will certainly be challenges, like board exams (USMLE in the US, PLAB in the UK and Board exams in South Africa for example), residency and community service depending on which country you chose to practice in. It is best to do some research before applying.
