UK Education Exhibition 2012 Rewarding medical careers with Imu-malaysia

Meet us at Malaysian Education Fair 2012

There is exciting news for Bio Science students in Sri Lanka. Now there is an opportunity to enter into the rewarding Bio-medical and Health Science career. The medical science field has become highly demanding due to the large number of medical practitioners that enter the profession each year from overseas universities. The demand for medical graduates increase every year for Sri Lanka & overseas. The limited supply from Sri lankan University system creates a high demand for foreign medical graduates in Sri Lanka. SLMC accepts only limited universities as approved course providers in medicine. The degrees obtained by these Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGS) is merely a certification of successful completion of a specified course of students in the field of medicine. In most countries the degree along does not empower the graduate to practice medicine, and in Sri Lanka – Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) requires all FMGS to take the Examination for Registration to Practice Medicine (ERPM) in Sri Lanka (Formerly ACT16). However only the FMGS who have graduated from medical schools recognized by the SLMC are allowed to apply for ERPM. A list of such recognized schools is yearly updated and available free of charge to the public at the SLMC. SLMC accepts only limited universities as appropriate course providers in Medicine.
