How many points do we get for MBBS degree? I will apply to assess MBBS degree and I want to apply as a sonographer. Do I need to assess my ultrasound diploma also from Wes? Thanks.
Dear friend, first of all best of Luck for your application.
1)Where do I assess my ultrasound diploma?
No need to assess ultrasound diploma. All you need is MBBS Degree credential assessment.
2)How many points is for MBBS degree if I apply under 3216?
23 points
3)Do they count experience before ultrasound diploma? I got 7 yrs ultrasound work experience but I have done my diploma 1 years ago. So can I claim total 7 years?
Yes, for sure. No where it is mentioned that you must have degree of experience. I am not a diploma holder, only MBBS, with ultrasound experience.
4)Which degree do I need to send to MCC?
MBBS.. Go with WES. MCC takes lot of time. I got my MBBS credential assessment from WES. If you read the credential assessment details, MBBS degree assessment is to be done by MCC only if you are applying under NOC 3211/3212 which is General practitioners. I applied through WES. When I Sent them for credential assessment, I received message from WES, that your degree (MBBS) has to be done by MCC. I FAXED them with my reply that I am applying under NOC 3216, not NOC 3211. I also sent them print out of description that MCC credential assessment requires in case you are applying under NOC 3211.
Sincere advise from my part, don't go for MCC. It is time consuming, usually taking 3-4 months or sometimes more, Send your request for credential assessment to WES. Write covering letter along with your degree and required certificates & inform them that you are applying under NOC 3216.
{•as a specialist physician (NOC 3111) or general practitioner/family physician (NOC 3112), the Medical Council of Canada must do an educational credential assessment only for your primary medical diploma}
