Upon graduation with the MBBS degree, Widad University College Medical graduates will be provisionally registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and begin their housemanship (presently 2 years) in government hospitals.
Once fully registered and usually after 2-3 years of experience as a Medical Officer they can then either start their own practice (GP) or proceed to any other higher qualification in Medicine i.e. clinical specialisations or an academic pathway leading to MSc and ultimately a PhD in a particular area of interest.
