However, DM admissions are highly competitive, require intense preparation, and involve complex counselling rounds. That’s why Future Foundation offers trusted, strategic guidance for DM aspirants looking for genuine opportunities in India and select international destinations.
What is a DM Degree?

DM Abroad — An Alternative Route
Some Indian doctors explore international DM or equivalent super-specialty programs due to intense local competition or desire for global exposure. Countries include:
- USA (via USMLE + Residency)
- UK (via PLAB + MRCP/FRCP)
- Philippines (for direct DM-equivalent options)
- Georgia and Russia (recognized super-specialty programs)
Future Foundation ensures that international programs are NMC-acceptable for registration back in India.
