The Manipal-based Kasturba Medical College under the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), has been recognised by the New York State Board of Regents for a period of seven years.

A press release by MAHE said here on Tuesday that KMC Manipal is the only medical college in the country to have received this recognition from the New York State Education Department (NYSED). Following this, there will be no restrictions on the duration of clerkship/ elective experience for KMC students seeking long-term clinical clerkship placements in New York, it said.

NYSED’s evaluation of foreign medical schools consists of a thorough self-review against international standards and a site visit. The release said the site visit conducted by a team of international faculty happened in November 2017 . After consideration of the site review report, a recommendation was issued for placement of students in a long-term clinical clerkship.
