Dear collegue

i wish to clarify a particular misunderstanding

every school recognised by the WHO is NOT NECESSARILY RECOGNISED BY THE GMC!!!!

i.e st christophers school in london and senegal - recognised by WHO but NOT by GMC

mmm many of the medical universities in RUSSIA - recognised by WHO but NOT by GMC

the list continues and in-corporates a few of the carribean schools. so just because the website of the school says it has GMC approval - contact the GMC and ask anyway. after all it is ur future

thank u

Likewise, WHO does not investigate, quality control or approve: it lists the school if the territorial government says it is a medical school.
Having said that, Gdansk may well be an excellent school.
