saima1127 · 06-09-2008, 10:00 PM

Hey! i need help filling out the applications. it would be great if some of u could help me out.

my first question: on the dimc application it says that it can be submitted thru email...so can i scan all the required documents and email them too or do i have to send those by mail? which one do yall think is better to do: send the application thru email or the post office?

second question: on the ibcc equivalence form it asks to check one of the two: internal examination system and external examination system...what does that mean?

please answer as quickly as you can.
thanks

It actually depends on which country your from and what the education system is like in that country. If you're applying from America (having completed your high school education from America), you should check internal examination system unless you intend to submit AP test scores, in which case you should check both (that's what I did just to be on the safe side). AP tests are technically external examinations.

Submitting everything through e-mail sounds like a much easier way of doing it, however have a hard copy ready to send in just case they don't actually accept applications through e-mail or even better only check their e-mail once a year.

Personally I'd try e-mail, wait a day or two and see if you get any response -- if not mail it in.

I've actually emailed DIMC a few times and surprisingly their pretty good with responding back, usually I get a response within two days. I plan on scaning and emailing my doc's as well.

Just make sure you follow their attachment guidelines as listed here (scroll all the way to the bottom)

Hey
Is DIMC recognized by WHO and all? Can you sit for the USLME after graduation?

List of all US approved PAKISTAN MEDICAL SCHOOLS

DIMC is #10. So yes, you can sit for the USMLE after graduation.

Eventhough DIMC is listed under the IMED-FAIMER website, unlike Dow Medical College it still hasnt been listed under the Texas or California state medical college approved list. DOW Medical College grads can practice in almost all 50 states but does anyone know if DIMC grads receive the same credentials as DMC grads ie transcript, degree?

I've also asked the same question previously but didn't get any reply.

Thanks.

What does "accrediting authority" mean?

High schools in America undergo accreditation every few years to ensure that they're meeting all the standards and abiding by all the rules set forth by accrediting authorities to ensure that they meet a certain standard. For example, the high school I went to in Lake Forest, California was/is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) -- which is the "accrediting authority" for my high school. Every high school has one, and usually all the high schools in a particular state or region have the same accrediting authority. The people working in the office at your high school can probably give you more information as to which accrediting authority your high school is accredited by.
