I know this isnt the place for this question, but am just taking a chance. Does anyone know whether a residency from US is recognised in india?

hi hopdoc , a degree from US is not recognised ( or for that matter any country ) until you give an exam that is conducted by the medical council of india. this exam is of the level of post grad and is not so easy to get thru. this is all the information i have but i am sure you will find more on their website or by writing them a mail.
this information is 2 yrs old now and i am not sure if there have been any recent changes.
where are yu from in india ?

you could also check up the DNB ( diplomat national board ) website and see if they have nay options. recently they recognised training obtained in some hospitals in UK and that way one becomes eligible to apply to take the DNB final exam of a speciality. DNB degree is considered an equal of MD degree. DNB is a parallel board like the MCI.
but this info too is 2 yrs old and it will be good to check for any recent updates. good luck hopdoc.

Thank you so much for the information achilles. I did look on the MCI site and they talked about the test that foreign graduates have to take, but didnt mention anything else. I emailed them as well, but no reply so far (its been 3 days). I will check the DNB option, thank you for that suggestion.
I am from Pune. Have been thinking that maybe I should just go back and start doing a diploma (CPS) and then move on to dnb. I will have to go back to India in about 6 years time, so its probably wise to move now.
Thank you very much for all your suggestions.

If you do not have the basic medical qualification from India, you will have to take the MCI screening test and mostly there are students graduated from russia and from everywhere else I have not come across students from US and exam is not difficult at all.
If you do have the basic medical qualification from India, you can practice as a specialist in any field you want. You may have an MBBS, and claim to be a neurosurgeon, for instance, and legally practice. You will need no other licenses or permits.
No one in India will question your expertise if you practice. People will generally come to you if they know you have qualifications from here, if you set up practice. It will make your resume look good if you wish to work in corporate hospitals.
If you wish to join government entities, I think it makes no difference whether you did your residency here or not. I guess it is as good as if you hadn't.
So it depends on what your plans are in the future, what you wish to do when you go to India. If you post more info, and I know the answer, I will reply. All the best.

Yes I did my MBBS from India. Not really sure where I want to practice in India. It looks like Im not getting a residency this year  obviously!!!  so the choice was to either stick around here for another year and try again next year, or go back to india and see if i can start somethign there. also will have to move back to india in another 6 years or so, so was wondering if all this is even worth it at all or not.
if i will eventually move back to india and if a residency from here isnt officially recognised, then there didnt seem to be any point in continuing here.
thank you so much for all your help. will appreciate any more comments or suggestions anyone may have. all the best to all of u...
