Every medical university in Kyrgyzstan in one list: international tuition, English-medium teaching, WDOMS listing and ECFMG eligibility, which Pakistan's PMDC now requires. India's NMC keeps no approved list; see what it checks below.

Recognition lists change every admission cycle. Before paying any fees, check the university and your intake year on the official lists.
What each licensing route asks of a Kyrgyz medical degree:
Graduates of schools whose WDOMS entry carries an ECFMG note can apply for ECFMG certification, sit USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, and enter the residency match. Check the graduation years on the note: newer schools only qualify from their first eligible class.
NMC does not publish a list of approved foreign universities. Under the FMGL Regulations 2021 the course itself must comply: at least 54 months of study and a 12-month internship at the same university, English-medium teaching, and a licence to practise in Kyrgyzstan. Graduates then pass FMGE (later NExT).
PMDC withdrew its list of recognised foreign institutions in 2025. Since then only graduates of ECFMG-accredited schools may sit the National Registration Examination (NRE), alongside recognition by the home regulator (PMDC notice L220, July 2026).
