For an institution to be listed as
"recognized" in IMED, it must first be recognized by the country where it is situated. There's no such thing as a school being listed in IMED as "recognized" while it is not recognized by the country of origin. The last time when KMC was de-recognized, its status in the IMED was written as "de-recognized".
Link 1 Link 2As listed in IMED, both schools' graduation years are
"current", which means they are recognized by the country of origin. As i have stated before, the final verdict lies in the Indian Ministry of Health (damn, i am beginning to sound like a broken radio).
As funny as it sounds, but India only recognizes medical institutions which have a sizable amount of Indian nationals. I am not sure how the recognition in India works but i am pretty sure that MMMC is not recognized by India. Also, many western institutions are not recognized by India.
Degree from PMC is not recognized by Ireland. Under IMED, PMC is listed as a distinct institution, which means that PMC's degree is actually a degree of its own. That's also the reason why PMC is not recognized by Singapore Medical Council, while the partner schools are recognized. In addition, Irish medical council only recognizes 5 Irish institutions, of which PMC is not included. The 5 schools are:
University of Dublin
Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
University College Cork
University College Dublin
National University of Ireland, Galway
Also, you are wrong about MMMC's degree. It is a Malaysian degree, i can assure you, and MMMC is listed under Malaysia in IMED.
Link Therefore, even though KMC is de-recognized, MMMC will still be recognized by Malaysia. You can call/email MMMC or Malaysia Medical Council regarding this matter.
I am not defensive about this matter, it's just that you have the wrong concept of the whole thing. I am here to correct you.
Btw, are you going to reveal where you graduated from? I wonder why are you so secretive about it?

i dunno why i bother............maybe i should just let you all wallow in your own misconceptions and misinformation.........
i wish you should leave that crutch called the imed, and stop thinking that being listed there is all important.......
as far as manipal is concerned, this thing just happened days ago.........you expect imed to delist it immediately? you obviously don't know how this thing works.......
pmc does NOT award any degree.....graduates gets the MB BCh BAO degrees of the National University of Ireland (NUI) as well as with the Licentiates of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. They are registerable of course in Ireland.......pmc homesite is down so alternatively, nah:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penang_Medical_Collegeand you are 'correcting' me??!

Even if it's recognised by the JPA or MMC, you cannot run away from the fact that you graduated from a lousy school. Yes, you may find a job locally. But you may not be as competent as your peers.
What you say are usually "obvious truths". So you don't really have to rephrase it in a way that could send those people you insulted banging balls.
Usually you sound like a kangaroo. But from this sentence, you may have graduated from a third world country lol.
in one swift blow, you insulted me, contradicted yourself, insulted people in 'lousy school' after criticizing me of bashing 3rd world schools...........
and what's this obsession about where i come from anyway?.....i thought it is not important, and it is how the individual proves himself that is important??? so now where one graduates from becomes important again?.........
