First, I have heard that to come back to the US and be able to apply for and enter residency, you must have had at least 72 weeks of clerkship training. Do UK schools provide this? Do Irish Schools provide this?
Next, I have heard that it is basically next to impossible to get a surgical residency in the USA after graduating from a foreign medical school. Is this true? Does anyone know about the experience of such Irish and UK med grads?
Finally, I know that you have to have lived in the UK (not sure for Ireland) for 4 years before you can claim legal residency (anyone know about Ireland). If this is true, would that make acquiring residencies in their countries alot easier for a North American?
Thanks
