MBBS programs are recognized across China and a wide variety of countries across the globe. However, if you would like to be a doctor in a Chinese hospital, you have to deal with two matters at first: pass the medical license examination in China and be good at communicating in Chinese.

As in any other country, each province, however, carries out licensing within China, and foreign doctors can work within China if they fulfill the licensing requirements. For example, Beijing’s license exam is conducted in English and consists of a two hour written exam of 100 general medicine questions very similar to Step 3 of the USMLE boards; the second part is a 20 minutes oral presentation in English of a sample patient.
