Why Choose the Philippines for Your MBBS (MD)?
The Philippines is rapidly becoming the top choice for medical aspirants seeking quality, affordable, and globally recognized medical education. Here’s why:
English as the Official Medium of Instruction
As one of Asia’s largest English-speaking countries, the Philippines eliminates language barriers, ensuring students from India and around the world can easily understand lectures, communicate with professors, and interact with patients during clinical rotations.
Unique American-Style MD Program
Unlike traditional MBBS degrees, the Philippines offers a pre-medical Bachelor’s degree followed by a Doctor of Medicine (MD) program, modeled after the American system. This innovative curriculum provides strong scientific foundations and extensive clinical practice, preparing students for global medical licensing exams such as the USMLE, NEXT, and FMGE.
Importantly, the program aligns with the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India’s 2021 guidelines, fulfilling the required 54 months of academic coursework plus a separate 12-month internship. This structure ensures Indian students receive an education fully compliant with Indian medical regulatory standards, making it easier to clear the FMGE/NExT exams and practice medicine in India.
Extensive Hands-On Clinical Exposure
From early in their studies, students gain real-world experience through clinical rotations in large government and private hospitals. Many medical colleges also have their own teaching hospitals, providing students with direct access to hands-on patient care right on campus. During these rotations, students actively participate in diagnosis and treatment under the supervision of experienced physicians, building confidence and clinical skills.
After completing the academic coursework, students undertake a 12-month separate internship (as per NMC guidelines), working full-time in hospitals to gain practical exposure and independent patient management experience—preparing them thoroughly for their medical careers.
Tailored for Indian Students
- 100% English-medium courses
- Affordable tuition and living costs
- Recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India 2021 FMGL Regulation
- Indian-friendly environment with familiar cuisine and cultural communities
- High FMGE/NExT passing rates compared to all other study-abroad destinations
Beyond Education: Experience Life in Paradise
Studying in the Philippines isn’t just about academics—it’s about immersing yourself in a culture where East meets West, where centuries-old traditions coexist with modern innovation. Explore the vibrant festivals of Manila, the breathtaking rice terraces of Banaue, or the world-renowned diving spots of Palawan during breaks from your studies.
The Filipino spirit of hospitality makes it easy for international students to feel at home, while the tropical climate and scenic surroundings create the perfect balance of learning and leisure.
