Currently OMS-II. I've had great interest in doing global medicine, and am quite familiar with the International Practice Rights for DOs list on Wikipedia (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine - Wikipedia)
For the longest time I've wanted to do a global rotation over in Taiwan as a 4th year elective and also entertained the idea of practicing in Taiwan at a later time (after doing a residency in the USA), but as you can see, it says that the DO degree is no longer recognized in Taiwan It's strange because DOs had full practice rights in Taiwan previously. Being Wikipedia and all I might have to be a little skeptical of who made the edit, but if it's true, it's a real bummer.
Question is - would I still be able to do a rotation over there, even though my degree isn't recognized? Has anyone else done a rotation in a country where American DO degrees aren't officially recognized?
Thanks.
