If you are an indian citizen you can't go to KMCIC. You have to have a citizenship of a country other than India for example USA or Canada. It is for NRI's basically

Is that true?? Is this program useless????

Please help!!!!
because i am planning to go for this program..
I'll answer the California question and hopefully the other at the same time. Don't quite understand what else you are asking...

AUA/KMCIC is now in the process of applying for CA licensure. The first step is completing California Medical Board's (CMB) 'Self Assessment Report' and submitting it with supporting documentation to CMB.

So you are correct: graduates of AUA/KMCIC are not yet eligible to apply for Licensure in CA. As I tell people all the time, if the most important thing for you is to practice medicine in CA, then make sure you go to a medical school which has already gained CA approval.

As you can see here: NRMP Results we have already proven the capability of our graduates to gain Residency through the match. If this doesn't throw out the "useless" idea, I don't know what does.

I slogged in through the snow this morning...so if you need me to clarify anything give me a call.

I don't know what "recognized" means, but you can practice medicine in New York as a graduate of the twinning program. In terms of being respected, you will have to deal with the stigma of being a foreign graduate regardless of which foreign school you attend. You can minimize this somewhat with stellar board exam scores and getting into a competitive residency program. In the end, practicing physicians are judged more often by their competence rather than where they went to school.

Degree: MD conferred by AUA.

KMCIC is not an Indian medical program. It is a US-modeled medical program in which our students complete the requirements for US licensure. For more information about how graduates of non-Indian / non-MCI approved medical schools, visit the MCI website.

Clarification please, is this application for CA licensure just for the AUA/KMCIC program grads or is it for AUA grads also?

Not true!
Your citizenship has no bearing at KMCIC, as long you pay the stipulated fees.
Most students at KMCIC are non-US passport holders.Some are permanent residents.Majority have Indian passports and US resident cards.

Pls check your facts before you post.

Incorrect, you can be a Indian resident or Indian citizen, you can still be a KMCIC student.
