Yes, you can practice medicine in India after completing your MBBS in Vietnam, but you'll need to pass the National Exit Test (NExT), which replaces the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE), to become eligible.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- NExT Exam: Starting in 2024, the FMGE is replaced by the National Exit Test (NExT), which is a licensure exam for both Indian and foreign medical graduates.
- Curriculum Alignment:Vietnamese medical universities' curricula are designed to align with the requirements of the NExT exam, covering subjects like anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical medicine.
- Eligibility:To practice in India, you'll need to ensure that your MBBS degree is from a recognized and accredited medical university, and that you meet the requirements of the National Medical Commission (NMC).
- Registration:After clearing the NExT exam, you can apply for registration with the Medical Council of India (MCI) and pursue a medical career in India.
- Career Opportunities:Once licensed, you can work in government or private hospitals, or even pursue opportunities in civil services through the UPSC exam.
