Can graduates of medical schools in Malaysia train in the US?
The country has a WFME-recognized accreditor. Graduates of schools it accredits meet ECFMG's accreditation requirement for US residency.
- Malaysian Medical Council (MMC): recognized until 2033 April
- Medical Council of Ireland (MCI): recognized until 2030 June
A school must itself be accredited by that agency. Every country's status.
