The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC) has been granted accreditation by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) – a non-governmental organisation concerned with the education and training of medical doctors worldwide.
The statutory regulatory authority that maintains the official register of medical practitioners in Pakistan said in a statement that this recognition underscores PM&DC's commitment to ensuring the highest standards of medical education within Pakistan.
The WFME Recognition Status is granted for a tenure of 10 years. With PM&DC’s accreditation, all Pakistani medical students become eligible to apply for ECFMG and USMLE.
The WFME recognition is anticipated to enable Pakistan’s medical graduates to pursue postgraduate training and practice in other countries that require WFME recognition, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
WFME has an official relationship with the WHO, representing the medical education and training of medical doctors worldwide.
