List of U.S. Medical Schools Accepted by the Singapore Medical Board

Singapore's Medical Registration Act created four different kinds of medical registration within the country of Singapore: full registration, temporary registration, conditional registration, and provisional registration. Although foreign-trained medical students searching for full registration within Singapore must first complete a supervisory period, the Singapore Medical Board will recognize medical degrees earned at 159 different medical schools internationally. Of these, the U.S. is home to 38, the largest amount of medical schools recognized by the Singapore Medical Board for any one country.
