Recognition

Once international students graduate from the university, they are eligible to practice wordwide in their respective fields.  Below is some general helpful information for graudates to know about pursuing a career in the regions below.

United Kingdom/Ireland

The General Medical Council (GMC) is responsible for providing GMC registration for doctors. This is required before physicians may practice medicine in the UK.

We advise to confirm recognition of qualifications by contacting the GMC directly or using the following webpage:http://www.gmc-uk.org/about/contacts/.

Information regarding registration for doctors is also available on the following page:http://www.gmc-uk.org/doctors/registration_applications/join_the_register/acceptable_primary_medical_qualification.asp

In the UK and Ireland, the veterinary and dental degrees are recognized by the following institutions:

-The Veterinary Council of Ireland
-The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
- British Dental Association
- Irish Dental Association

USA

Graduates are usually required to successfully pass all steps of the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) before they may obtain a license to practise medicine in the USA & Canada. IMS offers students a preparation course toward the USMLE® examination.

Graduates from the American Uniersity of Antigua College of Medicine are taught under USMLE®  guidelines, with the intention of obtaining a high USMLE®  passing rate. Therefore, students whose goal is to practice medicine in the USA & Canada are strongly advised to consider studying at this medical school.

Other countries

In the academic year 2001/2002, the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) was implemented. This system enables easy transfer to universities within the EU. The courses studied at UPJS, SSGW and BRNO are recognized at universities in other EU countries, as are the credit points they are each worth. Complying with this system also creates curriculum transparency which further improves the recognition of the degrees.

In those professions where the conditions of education in Slovakia, Poland or the Czech Republic are identical with those in the European Union, and have already been recognized,  the member states of the European Union are obliged to accept the diplomas issued irrespectively to the language of instruction.
