About African Medical Schools - Ghana
1) Do African schools accept international students?
2) a brief overview of the structure of African schools (number of years, etc )
3) pros/cons of your med school
4) overall evaluation (would you recommend it to someone else?)
5) future outlook on practicing in Ghana/Africa? (i know, vague one)

1.) yes int students are accepted in ugms. the school however does not accept transfers into the main clinical program. to enter the clinical prog you should have completed the schools 2 year basic science and paraclinical prog.
2.) 7 years schooling in total. 2 years premed, basically learning the biological sciences. 2 out of the 5 years in med sch are used in teaching the basic and paraclinical sciences. 3 years in clinical rotations
3.)pros - we are trained to fit anywhere in the world
the only problem is, i think our system is a little bit more stressful than most other schools. that i am sure about. 
4) well would, that is if you wouldn't mind parting with 8000 dollars a year. ( kinda cheap for med education right?)
5) no, you are wrong. i plan on joining the west african college of surgeons. my chances of pursuing my dream as a cardio surgeon would be more than fulfilled in ghana, not the us.
