ECFMG  is the abbreviation of Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates. The ECFMG certification is the standard for evaluating the qualifications of physicians. With this certification, medical graduates from other countries can prove that your professional skills are equal to your American counterparts. Besides, you can only take the Step 3 of USMLE when you obtain the certification.

The United States Medical Licensing Exam is abbreviated to USMLE, which is designed to evaluate whether a physician qualify for a medical license in the United States. USMLE includes 3 steps of examination and each step complements the others. Moreover, the first 2 steps require an ECFMG certification.

For international students studying MBBS/MB in Chinese medical universities who want to take USMLE examinations, you have to apply through ECFMG and offer an accredited certificate to it. Therefore, it’s of great significance for students to check the list of recognized medical schools in China.

However, the list provided by “World Directory of Medical Schools”(belongs to FAIMER), which ECFMG suggest students to use for reference, show as many as 190 institutions in China. Actually, some of those schools are no longer operational or had renamed years ago. What’s more, some probably don’t offer MBBS or clinical medicine programs in 2018.

In response to these problems, we have verified the information of each universities and colleges on their official websites in a bid to save your efforts to search answers. We have winnowed out those universities which don’t recruit international students or don’t provide relevant degree programs.

You can click the links in the table and jump to the application pages of certain programs or learn more about cities' information directly. Hope the list can smooth your way to study MBBS in China.
