If I complete a bachelor's degree, can I apply for MBBS abroad in Canada for a PhD?

Yes, you can apply for MBBS (or equivalent medical programs) abroad after completing your bachelor's degree, but eligibility depends on the country and specific university requirements.
- In Canada, most medical schools require at least three years of undergraduate study, so your bachelor's degree meets this criterion.
- Additional requirements may include specific coursework in life sciences, standardized tests like the MCAT, and sometimes relevant work or research experience.
- Some universities also offer combined MD/PhD programs or graduate programs in medical sciences that can strengthen your profile.
Admission criteria and prerequisites are subject to change.
