I'm an American undergrad right now. I'm hoping to get an MD afterwards, and I really want to eventually move to Australia, New Zealand, or (preferably northern) Canada (but not Quebec, as I don't speak French), especially in a rural area. I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to become a doctor and immigrate to one of those countries.
I've looked at Canadian med schools and unfortunately it's a closed door for international applicants. As for residency, you have to be a citizen or PR to register with CaRMS. Are there other ways to do a residency there?
I'm not sure about Australian or New Zealand med schools, and the path to becoming a doctor there confuses me in general.
Worst case scenario, I'll have to go to med school in the US AND do my residency here as well. After that, could I practice in Australia, New Zealand, or Canada? Or would I have to redo my training?
I'm really confused about this whole thing. Thank you in advance!
