Realize your Medical Career and Education Dreams at International Medical Campus (IMC)

The lack of Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC)recognized local private medical university added with the limited number of seats offered by local medical faculties, force students to either retake their A/L examinations or go abroad, often times taking loans from banks. Additionally, students who follow London A/L too must go abroad as they cannot enter the state medical faculties.

But how does one find a university which would give an internationally recognized medical degree at an affordable charge? The International Medical Campus (IMC) is the only medical pathway provider in Sri Lanka, giving Sri Lankan students access to leading medical destinations in the US, Australia, Canada and Europe. IMC has over 20 partner universities worldwide which are recognized by the WHO, Sri Lanka medical Council, Education Commission For Medical Graduates- USA, General Medical Council- UK and Australian Medical Council Australia.

Headed by Dr Nihal Nonis Chairman of IMC a pioneer in Sri Lankan medical education, IMC provides pathways for students seeking recognized universities overseas, rather than offering a degree locally.

As such, IMC has visions of giving opportunities for students, not only in Sri Lanka to go global without violating existing protocols and system. Thus, IMC provides one year, A/L embedded programme following which students can go overseas.

IMC offers four key products to the students. The first product, the pre-medical program is a one year pathway program to Melaka Manipal Medical University in Malaysia or Vitebsk State Medical University (VSMU) in Belarus for O/L students and students whose A/L results do not fulfils the SLMC minimum requirements of 2C’s and 1S to enter overseas medical university. The programme offers a one year fast-track, Cambridge curriculum in place of the traditional 3 year A/L program, and has the additional advantage of giving the students a Manipal University Foundation of Science or VSMU International Medical Foundation qualification.

The second product provides direct placements for those students who fulfill the SLMC minimum requirements.

For a student to become a doctor outside of the state universities and practice in Sri Lanka, they must fulfill the SLMC minimum requirements of 2C’s and 1S, either through London A/L or local A/L. Then they must attend a SLMC recognized university. SLMC recognizes many medical universities around the world, which a student can discover by visiting the SLMC website or through a book published by the SLMC. Once they return to Sri Lanka, they must face the ERPM examination for Registration to Practice Medicine in Sri Lanka.

Medicine is a vital part of our lives. It is easy to select an affordable degree programme, but careful planning is required to select a program that is both internationally and locally recognized and offer a program that fits the Sri Lankan system.
