MBBS in China.
1) The duration of MBBS in China is 5.8 years, out of which, the student is required to complete 1 year of internship in India after completion of the course and clearing the FMGE/ NEXT Exam.

2)Â The China Medical universities are certified by the Medical Council of Canada (MCC); recognized by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of China; certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG); registered with the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) and are also listed with the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS). These recognitions provide ample job opportunities anywhere throughout the world.
3) Indian students have to choose only from the colleges which are approved by MCI but this rule has changed since 2020; now Indian students can opt for any medical college anywhere in the world. But the students are suggested to check whether the universities & colleges are recognized by ECFMG which ensures them sufficient employment opportunities outside China as well.
 4) The main hurdle while studying MBBS in China is the language barrier that students face there. Most colleges have bilingual programs and use the China language as their mode of communication. This creates barriers to thoroughly articulating the lessons. Therefore, students are advised by the MCI beforehand, to check the mode of education of the college before applying for it.
