Qualifications not listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools

Some qualifications aren't listed on the World Directory of Medical Schools.

We only accept these qualifications where the reason that is not listed is because:

  • the country awarding the qualification is not recognised by the United Nations, or
  • the institution that awarded the qualification no longer exists or no longer delivers medical education and we are certain the qualification is valid
  • it meets all of our current acceptability criteria.

My qualification isn't in the directory

If your qualification isn't listed in the directory, please email gmc@gmc-uk.org. You need to include your GMC reference number (if you have one) and full details of your medical school.

We'll make an assessment as quickly as possible. But note there can be delays when we need to get information from the medical school.
