The discussion on the other thread made me wonder about the different experiences we must have had with our Egyptian degrees.

For Egyptian expats with a career, please share how you've managed to get your degree recognized abroad.

(Sono, hands off of this thread or else!)

Hosbond's degree was recognized in the U.S., no question. And I think he went to Cairo University (the public one?). Not AUC. If that makes a difference, since I think AUC is accredited by an American accreditation organization.

I will be diging up reliable data, and will be posting it on this thread.

You don't own this board MK.

Alright that is a university accepting a degree, but an employer?

I have a South African former classmate who earned his bachelors and masters degree in engineering in South Africa.

His bachelors and his masters! But the only position he could acquire in the field was an Engineering assistant position in operations. He later went back and did his bachelors in MIS and now is earning his MBA.

His wife had a nursing degree and had to go back to college to re-earn her degree also.

For universities to accept a bachelors from just about anywhere is normal, but employers won't.

Yeah they need to pass the state licensing exam, but need to do an internships or residency no matter how many years of experience they have.

There are extra steps and some organizations (HMOs, clinics, and hospitals like) won't accept medical/pharmacy degrees unless the applicant has earned an advanced degree in the USA or has specialized through a private practice (extremely rare).

There is a difference between accepting a degree for employment and accepting a degree for further education.

Okay did he secure that position before he was done with his advanced degrees that he earned in the USA?

Does your father have any co-workers who have Egyptian degrees and only Egyptian degrees, no USA accredited university degree working at that level?

Would he have HR (human resources) backing to hire an employee with an Egyptian degree and no western degree for a equitable position?

Keep the posts coming guys..

Sono's marara (gall bladder) needs to be dealt with here.

Sono.. My sister (29) shares the a dental practice in California since two years. She went to the US just after graduation and took only the exams she needed to get registered and immediately started a practice.

She's one of the best dentists in her area to treat difficult children. They refer children to her when they are almost impossible to treat..

And yes Sono I own this board [Big Grin]

If you do your masters in the USA then you won't take any other licensure exam that any other graduate from an American university would not have to take.

And in the USA we don't need a great number of physical therapists.

My sisters best friend from high school didn't obtain part time work until 2 years after graduation and my sisters sister-in-law didn't obtain part time work until 3 after graduation.

physical therapy entails a residency in Minnesota and if they only grant part-time residency it takes double the amount of time to progress through residency.

Dentistry you need to have a license through the state board of denistry. And that is according to the specifications of each state.

Many, many, dentists from outside the USA their degrees aren't recognized by the Minnesota Board of Denistry. A circulumn and "apprenticeship" or "residency" must be approved by the state denistry board.

So they look at how the courses were taught, the professors crendentials that taught the classes, the equipment used in classroom labs, the quality of the exams (tests) and how those tests were graded.

Not all post-secondary education systems are equal.

A person who graduates from "National American University" will be laughed at by offices with employees who went to Saint Cathrines, University of Minnesota and so forth. Not all universites and colleges in the USA are equal. Thats why there are different accredation boards.

And from what I hear select universities in Europe to share circulumn requirements, professor recruitment practices, exam criteria requirements and grading scales with corresponding accredation boards in the USA. Its called "parallel accredation".

Not all education is equal.

Don't know for sure Timo-Maganes.. But what I know is that she did some board-like exams then immediately got a job in a dental practice as a dentist for a couple of years in order to get a Green Card, then she got a license to start her own practice.

(P.s.: No internet-love sshit. She did it all on her own Sono [Razz] )

In otherwords an apprentiship in which her employer vouched for her credentials.

She learned how denistry is organized and what the state criterias are for practicing denistry in the state of California.

Her employer then vouched that she has the skils to take the board certification.

She also worked under a "employer sponsored visa"

Completely different than just walking into the country on a work visa or a diversity visa, or a lottery visa and having to find her own connections.

Unless her employer vouched for her she wouldn't have been able to sit for the licensing exam.

Wasta wasta wasta!

About ACCREDITATION

The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accreditation in the United States involves non-governmental entities as well as governmental agencies.

Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.

The U.S. Department of Education does not accredit educational institutions and/or programs. However, the Secretary of Education is required by law to publish a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies that the Secretary determines to be reliable authorities as to the quality of education or training provided by the institutions of higher education and the higher education programs they accredit. An agency seeking national recognition by the Secretary must meet the Secretary's procedures and criteria for the recognition of accrediting agencies, as published in the Federal Register. Some of the criteria for recognition, such as the criterion requiring a link to Federal programs, have no bearing on the quality of an accrediting agency; however, they do have the effect of making some agencies ineligible for recognition for reasons other than quality. The recognition process involves not only filing an application with the U. S. Department of Education but also review by the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity, which makes a recommendation to the Secretary regarding recognition. The Secretary, after considering the Committee's recommendation, makes the final determination regarding recognition.

The U.S. Secretary of Education also recognizes State agencies for the approval of public postsecondary vocational education and State agencies for the approval of nurse education. These agencies must meet the Secretary's criteria and procedures for such recognition and must undergo review by the National Advisory Committee.

The U. S. Department of Education does not accredit institutions in foreign countries. However, the Secretary of Education does appoint members to the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation. The law gives that Committee the responsibility for reviewing the standards that foreign countries use to accredit medical schools to determine whether those standards are comparable to the standards used to accredit medical schools in the United States. The comparability decisions made by the Committee affect whether U.S. students attending foreign medical schools can receive loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program.


http://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation/userHelp/aboutAccr.asp


This explains why not all US university and college degress are equal, and certainly not many universities and colleges outside of the USA adhere to these standards:

http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/index.html


Decisions: Countries Determined to Have Comparable Accreditation Standards for Medical Schools


The countries listed below have been reviewed by the NCFMEA and found to use standards to accredit their medical schools that are comparable to the standards used to accredit medical schools in the United States. The date(s) in parentheses is (are) the date(s) of the Committee's decision(s) of comparability.

AUSTRALIA (2/95 and 3/01) - Australian Medical Council (AMC)
(Note: The Australian Medical Council also accredits medical schools in New Zealand under the terms of an agreement with that country.)

CANADA (2/95 and 3/01) - Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS)

CAYMAN ISLANDS (9/02, 9/03 and 9/04) - Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM)

However, the NCFMEA limited the period of comparability to one year. In September 2003, the NCFMEA extended the period of comparability for another year. In September 2004, the NCFMEA extended the period of comparability for three years.)

(Note: At the March 2004 meeting, the NCFMEA voted to limit St. Lucia's comparability determination to the accreditation of medical schools presently participating in the Federal Family Education Loan program, pending the request of additional information as outlined in the staff report. At the September 2004 meeting, the NCFMEA voted to extend the limitation on St. Lucia's comparability determination, pending the receipt of additional information for review at the Spring 2005 meeting.)

ST. MAARTEN (3/98 and 3/04) - Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM)
(Note: Because of volcanic activity on Montserrat, the one medical school on Montserrat accredited by the Accreditation Commission is now located on St. Maarten.)

This is the law code for Florida (this is different for every state):

61G15-20.007 Foreign Degrees.

(1) Applicants having degrees from foreign institutions shall be required to document "substantial equivalency" to the 2002 ABET Accreditation Yearbook for Accreditation Cycle Ended Sept. 30, 2002 engineering criteria. This document is hereby incorporated by reference.

(2) In order to document "substantial equivalency" to an ABET accredited engineering program, the applicant must demonstrate:

(a) 32 college credit hours of higher mathematics and basic sciences. The hours of mathematics must be beyond algebra and trigonometry and must emphasize mathematical concepts and principles rather than computation. Courses in 20
probability and statistics, differential calculus, integral calculus, and differential equations are required. Additional courses may include linear algebra, numerical analysis, and advanced calculus. As for the hours in basic sciences,
courses in the general chemistry and calculus-based general physics are required, with at least a two semester (or equivalent) sequence of study in either area. Additional basic sciences courses may include life sciences (biology), earth sciences (geology), and advanced chemistry or physics. Computer skills and/or programming courses cannot be used to satisfy mathematics or basic science requirements.

(b) 16 college credit hours in humanities and social sciences. Examples of traditional courses in this area are philosophy, religion, history, literature, fine arts, sociology, psychology, political science, anthropology, economics, and no more than 6 credit hours of languages other than English or other than the applicant's native language. Courses in technology and human affairs, history of technology, professional ethics and social responsibility are also acceptable. Courses such as accounting, industrial management, finance, personnel administration, engineering economics and military training are not acceptable. Courses which instill cultural values are acceptable, while routine exercises of personal craft are not.

(c) 48 college credit hours of engineering science and engineering design. Courses in this area have their roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward creative application. Examples of traditional engineering science courses are mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical and electronic circuits, materials science, transport phenomena, and computer science (other than computer programming skills). Courses in engineering design stress the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing, and evaluation. In order to promote breadth, at least one engineering course outside the major disciplinary area is required.

(d) In addition, evidence of attainment of appropriate laboratory experience, competency in English, and understanding of the ethical, social, economic and safety considerations of engineering practice must be presented. As for competency in English, transcripts of course work completed, course content syllabi, testimonials from employers, college level advanced placement tests, Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores of at least 550 in the paper-based version, or 213 in the computer-based version, will be accepted as satisfactory evidence.

(3) The FBPE Educational Advisory Committee shall make the final decision regarding equivalency of programs and shall make recommendations to the Board as to whether an applicant shall be approved for admittance to the examination or for licensure by endorsement.

(4) The applicant must request an evaluation of substantial equivalency of his or her credentials to ABET standards through Engineering Credentials Evaluation International, 111 Market Place, #171, Baltimore, Maryland 21202; Foreign Credentials Service of America, 1910 Justin Lane, Austin, Texas 78757-2411; or Josef Silny & Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 248233, Coral Gables, Florida 33124.

(5) Any applicant whose only educational deficiency under paragraph (2) involves humanities and social sciences shall be entitled to receive conditional approval to take the Fundamentals examination. Such an applicant shall not become eligible for the Principles and Practice examination until satisfactory completion and documentation of the necessary hours in humanities and social sciences as provided in paragraph (2).
Specific Authority 471.003 FS.
Law Implemented 471.003 FS.

But you can avoid all of this by attaining a degree from an accredited USA university.

www.wes.org only translates, they do not garuntee that your degree will be recognized in the USA.

Thats right you need to have a accredited degree from the region you live in.

Hence the point I was trying to make.

Possibly 20 years ago before post-secondary education in Egypt was degraded in the manner that it is today.

But since your father earned a degree from the west he was promotable.

Often times "employer sponsored visas" have the stipulation that the employee must earn an advanced degree while they are under this type of contract to be sponsored by their employer. Then they are released from the employer sponsored visa to become permenant residents and are free to work where they like.

Later become citizens.

Read my post again ya Sono. She got her license BEFORE she had any work experience in the US.

Getting a license to start your own practice is a whole different thing. Even American dentists should do what she did.. First have experience then start a practice.

You're jealous ya Sono.

Becasue many Egyptians can become better than Abu-Shoarma Ma7roo2a you're married to.

Getting a license to start your own practice is a whole different thing. Even American dentists should do what she did.. First have experience then start a practice.

You're jealous ya Sono.

Becasue many Egyptians can become better than Abu-Shoarma Ma7roo2a you're married to.

Then she went to one of those medical colleges listed above and was allowed to take the exam to be licensed.

Why should I be jealous? My education and degree is recognized anywhere in the world.

I never said anything about her surpassing experience before starting her practice. She was an apprentice for a licensed Dentist and he vouched for her so she could sit for the state licensing exam, otherwise she couldn't be a free agent and work where she wanted to. She needed to be an apprentice.

Its a practice that many state licensure boards no longer allow for obvious reasons.

Completely different than just walking into the country on a work visa or a diversity visa, or a lottery visa and having to find her own connections.

Unless her employer vouched for her she wouldn't have been able to sit for the licensing exam.

FOREIGN SCHOOL APPROVAL
In 1997, Assembly Bill 1116 was enacted to provide
for the evaluation and approval of those foreign dental
schools that provide dental education equivalent to that
of similar accredited institutions in the United States. In
2000, regulations were developed and implemented that
created the approval process. The fi rst school to receive
this approval is the Universidad de La Salle, located in
Guanajuato, Mexico. Their approval was granted on

Students who graduate from de La Salle with the proper
credentials will be eligible to take the clinical exam.
They will not have to fulfi ll any other educational

Your sister would have to attend a university with a parallel circulumn to California universities, such as the "niversidad de La Salle, located in
Guanajuato, Mexico" or she'd have to be apprenticed in before these new laws took place.

Is her husband a dentist?

What I am trying to illustrate here is you need to earn an advanced degree in the USA or attend a university that has been accredited by an accrediting agency of the USA.

Now many "el-doctoras" with medical degrees that aren't from an unversity in the USA or a university that is accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by a state board of medicine is often....

Clearly flat-out demoted. "el-doctoras" in her home country but a nobody in the west.

If you earned an advanced medical degree from universities in certain western European nations and this country paid for your education you are required to work within thier bureaucracy or their education institutions for a set period of time.

If you don't meet your obligation to repay your free education, you are no longer an 'el-doctora'...

You are now a nobody.

Hence the mental breakdown we see here on ES.

And I, as a person who waited 7 years in order to start her college education and this education cannot be taken away, I find this mental breakdown gratifying.

This December when I am handed my University Bachelorette Degree Diploma, I will taste victory over my past injustices.

There are already too many university degree holders in the US and Canada, kind of like in Egypt (exaggerating a bit), where the number of grads exceeds the number of available jobs. This supply and demand formula leads to both underemployment and unemployment among recent graduates. A similar phenomenon is starting to happen in Canada and the States. It's becoming more important to be admitted to a top university as a way of standing out from the rest of the pack.

Oh God that's the problem with idiots like you learning to perform CPR, they could kill those who had fainted with a perfectly fine heart function.

Oh yeah she can save you Sono. Your stinking breath is gone after one session with her.

Maybe that's exactly what you need to find yourself a proper man.

And do you have any idea how much our dental health can affect our body?

Yeah I'll be graduating this October/December. But thats closer to an unecumbered career than you'll ever have.

Eat your heart out Sono, because in your whole life and the life that follows you will not reach half what I've reached..

And my only obligations nowadays are to love and nourish my child.

Even this one obligation of yours you couldn't keep..

So shove your future degree where the sun won't shine. [Smile]

I am "el-Doctora" whether you like it or not.. And I just won myself the teacher-of-the-year prize..

You're not the superior white sow you think you are Sowno!

Hey Sono I just remembered something. My hosbond has a PhD from one of the best German universities, and he still needed to sit the Board exams in the US in order to get his degree registered. He sat those exams for fun actually, since he'd rather fry in hell than work in the US [Cool]

So, our degrees are not that bad anyway, it's just your system.

She's nothing else to do but count my posts.

Leave her to bark alone in her dark alley.
