First of all, let me say that I am interested in becoming a physician. I never thought about international schools only because I am ignorant as to the whole process of applying, researching, interviewing, etc.
Well, last night I was watching a rerun of ER. That young doctor (the cocky kid) apparently went to Grenada for med school. It came up in a conversation with Dr. Carter. Funny thing he said was "It still says M.D."...that got my attention.
I, as a soon-to-be third year undergraduate, will be faced with the possibility of not being accepted to any medical schools in the U.S.
Now, I am intersted in pursiuns D.O. (that international board doesn't get any posts), but I was wondering what the procedure is for researching these schools. When would I apply? Would I apply AFTER I find out my situation concerning U.S. schools? Do you need to apply 1 year in advance like U.S. schools? What is tuition? What are the best international schools? What is it like practicing in the U.S. after attending an international school? Is there a lack of respect from your colleagues?
I have so many question, many of which I will look to answer by reading future posts.
Again, I am intersted in pursuing Osteopathic Medicine, but I am also very interested in hearing about Allopathic schools as well.
Thank you all for your time, and I look forward to reading what you folks have to say!!
