Take a look at the Medical Council of India (MCI) website to see what they require for graduates of non-Indian medical programs (KMCIC is a US-modeled program designed to fufill US licensing requirements).

I'll refressh my memory and get back to this again. Don't want to have to come back and apologize for giving incorrect info.

BTW - KMCIC does not recruit students from India proper unless they have citizenship other than Indian. The main reason: political issues tied to India medical schools in general and MCI in particular.

The reason most people prefer the Antigua campus because it's closer geographically.
can you tell what does basic sciences include???
please...

"Basic Sciences" refers to the academic/classroom component of Medical School prior to heading back to the US for USMLE Steps 1&2 and Clinical Rotations.

You can see the curriculum here: BSc Semesters III to VI.

By "Indian resident" so you mean that you are an Indian citizen? Or a resident of India with other-than-Indian citizenship? We have take Indian citizens into KMCIC before but they have either dual citizenship or other status outside India.

If you are simply an Indian citizen, KMCIC can not accept you.

[quote=Sree Cheruku;765195]As I understand it, KMCIC is not California approved, so whether or not you complete your Basic Sciences in India, you won't be able to practice in California.

I wanted to ask you people that i came to that physicians from aua are not recognised and respected in New York City and in other cities of USA as well....
Is that true?? Is this program useless????

Please help!!!!
because i am planning to go for this program..
