In Egypt, medical school is a faculty of a university. Medical education lasts for 6 years, at the end of which the student is granted a MB BCh(بكالريوس الطب و الجراحة). After graduating there is a mandatory 12 month full time internship at one of the University or Government Teaching hospitals after which medical licensure as a General Practitioner (GP) is obtained. After that, the doctor has to register with the Ministry of Health & Population, and the Egyptian Medical Syndicate (نقابة الأطباء). The first 3 years of medical school cover the basic medical sciences, while the last 3 years are focused on clinical sciences.
Admission depends on the score of the applicant in his last 2 years of Egyptian Secondary Schoolالثانوية) العامة). Students who have taken either the IGCSE or SAT can also apply, however there is a very strict quota to the number of student who get accepted by the admission office which regulates entry into public universities. This quota does not apply to private universities. There are no entrance exams required for entry
