Dear Omar,
Further to your email dated 24 February 2023, please could you clarify the
following:
1. Whether you are requesting information on doctors who are currently
registered with a Primary Medical Qualification from the ‘University
of Health Sciences Antigua’ or doctors both current and historic
registrants
2. Whether 3.2 years refers to 3 years and 2 months or if this was a
typing error
I’d be grateful for a response before 28 March 2023.

Dear Henna Janghir,
The request is regarding information on doctors who are currently
registered with a PMQ from the ‘University
of Health Sciences Antigua’ (or doctors both current and historic
registrants) who have completed the MD program in 3.2 years .
It is not a typing error. The reason I ask is because the university is advertising completeing the 4 year MD program in 3.2 calendar years, instead of 4 years. The purpose behind my request is to see if anyone successfully registered with GMC using the above untraditional way of qualifying.
I’d be grateful for a response before 28 March 2023.
Yours sincerely,
Alshareed Ahmed

Dear Mr Mullah,
Your information request – IR1-3837219611
Thank you for your email dated 24 February 2023 requesting information
about the University of Health Sciences Antigua. I have considered your
request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
The [1]World Directory of Medical Schools states that the length of the
programme at the University of Health Sciences Antigua School of Medicine
is 4 years and we would not register anyone who has completed their
studies in less than 4 years.
There are therefore no doctors currently registered with the GMC with a
Primary Medical Qualification (PMQ) from this organisation where they have
completed their studies in less than 4 years.
I hope you find this information useful. If you have any further
questions, please contact [2][GMC request email].
Yours sincerely
