Pathway to USA for MBBS students from Segi University, Malaysia!!

-

Known as one of the largest private higher education providers in Malaysia, Segi now serves 25,000 students in five major campuses located in Kota Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, Subang Jaya, Penang and Sarawak. They offer an MBBS which is fully accredited by the Malaysian Qualificat­ions Agency (MQA), signifying full compliance with standards laid down by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC).

This course is also listed in the Internatio­nal Medical Education Directory (IMED) and is also recognized by the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC). Segi’s MBBS students can forge a pathway to become a practising medi- cal doctor in United States by taking the United States Medical Licensing Examinatio­n (USMLE) during their time at Segi University. Through a partnershi­p with Nugrahan, the official partner for KAPLAN Medical, Segi will offer this option on top of its core MBBS program, to allow students the opportunit­y to apply for a medical residency in the States.

Supported by Segi’s faculty, the program will groom students to become familiar with clinical practice, settings and US medical standards. If they opt in, students will need to take the USMLE tests during the second year of their studies at Segi, to determine their eligibilit­y for a residency match. This is yet another way Segi aims to improve the candidacy of our students as well as their opportunit­ies.

Besides Medicine, Segi University offers a variety of programs ranging from Business, Health Sciences and Engineerin­g, to Hospitalit­y, Communicat­ion and Education, amongst others.

You can meet the Segi University representa­tive at the Seekers’ Internatio­nal Education Fair 2017, on the 19th and 20th of August from 10 am to 4 pm at the Kingsbury Hotel, Colombo. For further details, do contact
