For those of you who go or will be going to med schools in Australia, do you plan to return to the U.S. (or your original country) for residency and practice? Because Australia internship prioritizes Australian students first, and as an international graduate from Australian med school, you'll have to practice (as a PCP?) in an Australian underserved area for 5 (or 10) years before you can get fully licensed...
I would love to practice Medicine in Australia, but IMO, their moratorium requirement is awful so I'm thinking that if I get into an Australian med school, I'll plan to do residency in the US and practice here (or in Canada). But I've heard that it is very difficult to return to the US partly because Australian schools don't prepare you well for the USMLE and clinical work at all. So... what are some plans that can make this process less of a hassle?
