Future doctors nurture their passion for helping others before applying for a Medical school.
Medicine is also a versatile field that can be studied anywhere in the world, so you have a variety of choices at your disposal. However, since it’s a decision that might change your life, it needs to be well planned in advance.
You could be a student aspiring to obtain a Medical degree with “enough” or “less” academic qualifications (London/Local A-Level Results). Most Sri-Lankan students struggle on certain areas regarding the “eligibility” to enter a Medical University such as,
1. “I have results required by SLMC (Sri-Lanka Medical Council – minimum A-Level qualification of CCS/CCD) but do not meet university entry criteria”.
2. “I do not meet SLMC’s A-Level requirement or the University entry criteria.
The dilemma of “What options do I have?” is often stagnated since a lot of Sri-Lankan parents and students aren’t aware on the solutions or alternatives for the above “Trending Confusions”. The solutions are convenient to understand. Students now have the chance of entering to worldwide recognized Medical Universities through the completion of a “Pre-Medical or Foundation Program”.
IMC Education, the leading medical education pathway provider and the Largest Medical University Placement Centre in Sri Lanka, offers an ideal program for students after their O/Levels and A/Levels in partnership with two distinguished higher educational institutions.
1. Foundation in Science (Pre-Medical Program) – Vitebsk State Medical University, Republic of Belarus. (After O-Level Results or Low A-Level Results)
2. Canadian Pre-University Program (CPU Program) – Ontario Secondary School Diploma (Above CCS/CCD) [Entrance to any Medical University].
1 Year Foundation In Science (Pre-Medical Program)
The only MEDICAL DEGREE with a TRIPLE QUALIFICATION.
Vitebsk State Medical University (VSMU) is one of the most distinguished medical institutions in the Republic of Belarus and considered to be one of the European Leader in Medical Education and Research. VSMU is one of the first state universities in the world to award a “TRIPLE QUALIFICATION” for students who enter directly to 1st year of the Degree with A-Level results of CCD/CCS or after completion of the 1 Year Foundation in Science Program (FIS) with less A-Level result. While students are studying for the 6-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at VSMU, at the completion of 4th year, student will be awarded a BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science Degree and at the completion of the 5-1/2th year they will be awarded a Master in Medical Science Degree by research from the prestigious Lincoln University College, Malaysia in addition to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree at the completion of 6-years from VSMU.

Canadian Pre-University Program (CPU Program)
The ONLY recognized Program leading to any Medical University – Worldwide
Even though you are not planning to head to Canada for your university degree, there are many great reasons why you can still consider CPU as a pre-university programme since CPU is a well-recognized qualification at any Medical University worldwide.
What is CPU? – An 8 – 12 months program to all Sri-Lankan and Maldivian students to earn a Canadian high school diploma without travelling to Canada which saves thousands of dollars. Pre-University programme for students who have completed O-Levels or AL’s of CCS/CCD. This means that you take this course before pursuing a degree at a university (hence, the word pre).
Program structure and design? – All courses are designed and developed to meet all
requirements of the curriculum of Ontario Ministry of Education. Upon the successful completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), students get the opportunity to pursue their journey of lifelong learning at any university of their choice around the world provided they satisfy respective university entrance criteria. Students who complete the CPU Program and fulfill all requirements of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma will be eligible for admissions to Medical universities in Canada, the UK and around the world.
Academic Structure of CPU? - Educational credentials obtained by students and awarding equivalent credits will be evaluated through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) as per Ontario Ministry of Education. The OSSD program is carefully developed to exceed the curriculum and learning expectations of Ontario Ministry of Education.
Am I eligible to practice medicine in Sri-Lanka as a Medical Doctor? – Yes. In order to obtain the internship in Sri-Lanka, students are bound to pass the ACT16/ERPM examination provided that the SLMC minimum A-Level requirement of CCD/CCS is obtained. Therefore Students who meet the SLMC Minimum A-Level requirement but not the university entry criteria are eligible to join the CPU program and secure the internship in Sri-Lanka. This pathway ensures that student can apply to any Medical university of their choice and obtain the eligibility letter to practice medicine in Sri-Lanka.
