The Philippines follows a US-pattern medical education system — students first complete a 2-year Bachelor of Science (pre-med) followed by a 4-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) program.

The Philippines consistently produces among the highest FMGE pass rates of any overseas MBBS destination for Indian students. Graduates from top colleges like Gullas and AMA regularly feature in FMGE top performers. The country is also known for its warm climate, English-speaking population, and strong Indian student support networks in cities like Cebu and Manila.
