Can graduates of medical schools in Hong Kong train in the US?
No accrediting agency in Hong Kong is on WFME's recognized list (checked October 2026). ECFMG requires graduation from a school accredited by a recognized agency, so check the school's World Directory listing and ECFMG before you rely on a US pathway.
A school must itself be accredited by that agency. Every country's status.
