Does this checklist confirm official eligibility?

No. It organises your answers and does not verify your documents or permit. SCFHS makes eligibility, classification and registration decisions.

Must I finish internship before sitting the exam?

The 2026 guide includes interns and students within one year of graduation. Confirm your application pathway with SCFHS; professional-registration requirements are separate.

Does choosing a country change my eligibility?

The medical-school country selects relevant guidance only. This checklist does not grant or deny eligibility based on country.
