I'm trying to get a better understanding of the medical education system in Europe versus the US. I'm a EU citizen, but grew up in the States. I'm considering returning to the EU for medical school.
I'd like to find out whether residencies are pretty much mandatory to practice medicine in Europe , like they are in the US? I've read on these forums that generally in Europe, there are less formal residencies (except for the UK/Ireland). Can you become licensed then and practice successfully without a residency? The countries I'm most interested in are UK/Ireland and Germany.
