It depends on the program, but most distance education options in the US and Germany for medical graduates require a recognized medical degree and may have additional criteria.

- US programs: Typically need a medical or health sciences background. Some, like the Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc), are designed for Physician Assistants and may require relevant work experience.
- Germany programs: Usually require a medical or dental degree. Some programs are in English, but others may need German language skills. Periodic in-person sessions may require a visa.
- Accreditation and language: Ensure the program is recognized and check language requirements, as these vary.
- Fees and format: Tuition and structure differ by university and are subject to change.
