Hi guys,
I'm shortly to graduate from med school here in the UK, and am interested in working in the US. I'm interested in ophthalmics or neurosurgery, and I was wondering what the best approach to working in the US as an English-qualified doctor is.
My question is, do I have to do your USMLEs, or if I were to commit to training in the UK until I reached Consultant level, are you eligible to work in the US because of that? I'm happy to do USMLEs if necessary.
Another question is how well-regarded are British doctors when applying for US fellowships or jobs? I hold a good first degree and a PhD in molecular biology with some publications.
I'd appreciate any info/guidance that comes to mind.
Thanks
