Since I didn't do too well on my MCAT or undergrad I'm looking for viable foreign medical schools. Has anyone heard of Pyongyang medical university?

Is it any good? Is it difficult to practice in the USA after completing my training there?

Is it difficult to practice in the USA after completing my training there?

Considering how difficult it is to leave North Korea in general, I would say probably yes

No but Dr Spaceman went to the Ho Chi Minh School of Medicine. Maybe he could do an review.

If you want a serious answer to a (hopefully) serious question, why not spend a year doing grade replacement and retaking your MCAT and then going to DO school? There's a whole thread on this from a few days ago.

Hahahaha. If you even touch a hotel's banner sign you might be stuck in hard labor OP.

You might want to consider the postbac career-changer program at Kim Il-Sung University.

Lol this is actually the funniest question I've ever seen on SDN.

OP, Pyongyang Medical University is the Harvard Medical School of North Korea according to Wiki...that prestige will likely allow you to practice wherever if you make it out 😏

Lol I'm looking for a website of the school.. nothing.

North Korea? Seriously? I mean, there's literally so many other medical schools in countries that don't hate the United States.
