What if I already have an advanced healthcare degree?

We greatly value the knowledge and experience you bring from your healthcare background. However, OUM does not offer advanced standing or credit for prior studies. Most countries require a minimum of four years in medical school to qualify for licensure, and completing the full program ensures eligibility for certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), which is required for residency and medical licensure in most US states. Attempting to bypass this requirement, as some students from other programs have experienced, can create challenges with licensure.

Completing the entire OUM program keeps all pathways to residency and licensure open. To learn more about the program structure, visit our Curriculum page.
