Note: This is an MBBS program, and Shantou University is one of the 45 universities on the List of Universities Approved by the MOE China about offering MBBS English-taught Program, but since Shantou University's tradition, the name of the program will be "Clinical Medicine" on admission letter and "临床医学" on graduation certificate(Usually Chinese universities are only allowed to issue graduation certificate in Chinese). But you don't need to worry about it since Shantou University is not only recognized by MOE of China but also a lot of medical councils in other countries, so as long as it was recognized by the medical council of your country, it will not influence you to hunt a related job.

The program has been registered with the International Medical Education Directory (IMED) of the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER).
