The American Medical Residency Certification Board (AMRCB) |
The American Medical Residency Certification
Board (AMRCB) is now fully operational and
actively credentialing medical schools, medical
students, and medical graduates throughout the international community. The World Health
Organization (WHO) has advocated for the
development of global standards for many
years, and based on these recommendations, the AMRCB was initially conceived and has been developed over the last decade. Credentialing by the AMRCB is designed to ensure that international medical schools and medical students and graduates who meet accepted international educational standards are recognized within the United States.
For international medical schools, certification
is granted based upon one overarching principle - evidence that the institution has established, met, and achieved the goals of educating and preparing medical graduates to adequately practice medicine in the international arena. For international medical students and international medical graduates, AMRCB certification is obtained after successful
completion of a 3-day conference held in the
United States. Certification is granted based on participation and evaluation across multiple
educational and professional areas. |
The specific aim of the AMRCB is to certify international medical schools, medical students, and medical graduates from an
international frame of reference.
Credentialing through the AMRCB serves multiple purposes which include: the interests
of the general public, improving the quality of
medical education across the globe, allowing
graduates to have more mobility, to foster
increased respect, and to provide a source of
pride to institutions who are successfully
certified. Documentation of the quality and
professionalism of international medical
students and graduates, and of international
medical institutions can actively increase
potential student applications, as well as to
develop new international alliances and
enhance relationships with existing institutions. Once certification has been granted, the AMRCB name, logo, and materials may be utilized by international medical schools for advertising on electronic and printed communications.
