Partnership to enable Indian NEET qualifiers to become licensed US doctors

M iles Education, a global EdTech leader in outcomedriven international programmes, announced the official launch of the Miles MBBS-MD US Pathway in a strategic partnership with St James School of Medicine( SJSM), an accredited Caribbean medical school with clinical rotations and residency placements across the United States.

The initiative directly addresses two major global healthcare challenges, India ' s acute shortage of medical seats and the United States ' growing demand for licensed physicians.
The Miles US MBBS – MD Pathway directly addresses both crises by offering Indian NEET UG [ The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test( Undergraduate)] qualifiers an affordable and high-quality route to become licensed US and Indian doctors. As a part of this programme, students complete their pre-clinical coursework in the Caribbean, followed by clinical rotations and residency placements in the US, preparing them to clear all three steps of the USMLE and secure a US medical licence. All this at 50 % lower tuition than Indian private colleges and an earning potential of US doctor salaries which is approximately 10x of Indian MBBS and MD.
This pathway gives students direct access to American healthcare, which is recognised as one of the most advanced medical systems in the world. Through this experience, Indian candidates gain exposure to world-class medical education and hospital systems. It offers them the opportunity to return and contribute to the Indian healthcare landscape, bringing back global best practices and innovations. As flagbearers of Indian medical talent, these professionals play a vital role in elevating the standard of care and aligning Indian healthcare with global benchmarks.

Pearson redefines its brand to embrace the future of learning

P earson, one of the world ' s leading learning companies, unveiled a dynamic new brand identity that demonstrates its leadership as a lifelong learning company. More than just a refreshed logo, the rebrand represents a deep understanding of the evolving needs of learners worldwide.

Pearson ' s brand evolution is grounded in a core belief,‘ humans are born to learn’. The company views learning not just as acquiring knowledge, but a vital force for growth, adaptation and thriving in a rapidly changing world. This understanding is at the heart of the new brand.
" Our new brand reflects our belief in the transformative power of learning," said Ginny Cartwright Ziegler, Chief
Marketing Officer at Pearson. " It captures the emotional core of learning – the innate human desire to grow, adapt and thrive. We understand that learning is a deeply personal journey and our new brand resonates with that experience, celebrating the curiosity, resilience and ambition of learners everywhere."
Pearson has invested significantly in understanding the science of learning and how individuals learn most effectively. Research has shown that people who work to improve a skill or ability feel happier day-to-day and long term, even when learning itself feels challenging. Additionally, those who spend more time learning, whether in formal schooling or informal experiences, are more likely to report having purpose in their life. These insights have informed the development of the new brand and will continue to shape Pearson ' s products and services, ensuring they remain at the forefront of innovation and efficacy.
" This rebrand is not just about new logos or colours; it ' s a bold step in redefining who we are, what we stand for and our commitment to help people realise the life they imagine through learning," said Pearson CEO, Omar Abbosh.
