Respected sir can you please provide pathway for working in non clinical field in U.S Cause USMLE process requires a lot of money and efforts.
Will there be any issues if my country is accredited by wfme but my college is not accredited by WDOMS?
Yes. The present expectation is that the college must be recognized by WHO and have a sponsor note

Sir, I'm an IMG from India. My medical college is WFME recognised, but doesn't have the sponsor notes despite more than one batch being graduated from the institution. How to proceed regarding this and what does this currently imply?
Your college must work with ECFMG to obtain a sponsor note

Do my college still needs sponsers note after the accreditation.also is the sponsers note needed for plab
Yes the present expectation is your college should have a sponsor note

Being WFME accredited but my college still can't get the ECFMG sponsor note. Please guide a way for students like me.

Does that mean they will be doing away with usmle? Or will we still have to write usmle after this starts?
MLE will follow the present pattern and will run parallel to WfME. This is not an exception to MLE

This is not enough information to comment one way or the other. In general, the options come to residency or fellowship
www.IMGSecrets.com
Sir, does this mean that if I complete my PG in internal medicine from India, then I'll be able to practice the same in US, immediately after clearing Usmle instead of going for residency again?
Not really! This means you can write the USMLE exams through the new WFMR accredited pathway. Whether you can bypass residency is a completely separate conversation

Hello My daughter has done her doctor of medicine degree from Philippines and she is in Canada on visitors.
What could be the best option for her to get into medical system here except than MCCQE exam. Is there any other path that she can get an offer letter from medical centres or hospitals?
Observerships and research jobs and subsequently use that experience to get into residency

As an international medical graduate from Mauritius, I completed my USMLE registration process in 2021, yet I have not taken the exams as of now. Planning to sit for the exams this year, I am mindful of the fact that Mauritius lacks accreditation from WFME. My concern lies in understanding how this may impact my prospects for residency match programs in the future.
As of now, it should not be a problem

Will this accreditation be periodic and must every medical school obtain it after completing the approved accreditation period for the school of 7, 8, or 5 years? I mean, is this accreditation must be obtained by every medical school forever, or will the end of 2024 be the last year of accreditation and it does not have to be renewed yet? The end of the scheduled period?
WFME accreditation is for a national organization and not medical colleges and this is renewable after the initial one
www.IMGSecrets.com
Sir how can a medical college get recognised by WFME ?
It’s the national organization of the country that gets accreditation from WFME and not individual medical college
www.IMGSecrets.com
alright but what is the old process and what is the new one?
The new process is WFME accreditation explained in the video
