After MBBS in India, medical residency in usa

[2iamboss2]

I am planning on doing MBBS in india. I will be coming back to the US for my residency, and so my question is, does the school have to be listed in BOTH the International Medical Education Directory (IMED) (accredited by ECFMG and FAIMER) AND the World Health Organization? Because the school I looked into is accredited by FAIMER but not WHO.

thank you.

To be eligible for USMLE and residency your medical school must be listed on IMED. They don't check WHO. If it's on IMED then you're fine.
