Hey,
is it possible to apply to US schools as a 1st year (NOT TRANSFER) after going to foreign school for a year? I got into SGU and it looks damn more appealing than post-bacc. programs.
It seems to me that it is totally possible to be successful from a respectable foreign medschool, but it looks like you have to work hella harder than U.S. students to get into residency spots that they dont want. That part of the deal seems whack to me. Like you can totally work your ass off and then "be lucky" if you get into something other than internal medicine. Also, are there even going to be residency spots open to foreign grads 4 years from now?? Check this out:
"Another consideration is that the U.S now legislatively restricts the number of residencies available to graduates of foreign medical schools and has stopped reimbursing hospitals for services rendered by foreign-trianed residents." Whats up with that??
