The McGill Faculty of Medicine is amazing. I am American and jumped at the chance to go to McGill for med school. I received acceptances to a number of American medical schools, but McGill was the clear choice. There is an incredible amount of history at McGill. Williamm Osler, the best known western physician, was a McGill grad. Wilder Penfeld, one of the most prominent neurosurgeons in history, was at the Montreal Neurological Institutre for years where he helped to map the brain. Brenda Milner also did ground breaking experiments at the MNI where she elucidated the function of the hippocampus. CEA, the first tumor marker, was discovered by Phil Gold at the Montreal General Hospital. The bottom line is that McGill is a very high end institution and anyone lucky enough to be admitted should jump at the chance to go. Americans have no fear....I am sure you will get whatever residency you want in the states. Everyone in my class matched very well. A list of names where people matched were Cornell, Columbia, MGH. Brigham and Duke.
