International graduates are not eligible to obtain a pre-registration internship in Malaysia, and you should therefore ensure that your own country will offer you a house officer post after qualifying at NUMed Malaysia.
In addition, international graduates are eligible to apply for internship/housemanship in the UK or known as UK Foundation Programme (UKFP) provided by NHS Postgraduate Deaneries. You will complete 2 years of training and after one year of training and successful ARCP panel, you will be eligible for full registration with the GMC. However, this option may change before you graduate and cannot be guaranteed.
Any offer of a place in the programme is made in the understanding that NUMed Malaysia does not guarantee any period of internship in the UK, Malaysia or other parts of the world.
