Ok,
I know I've asked a similar question few weeks back, about coming to the U.S as an attending after UK surgery training.
Now my question is, how about coming over to do a fellowship, and then become attending?
Is this realistic?
I ask this because I am now in a NYC hospital doing an elective and I have personally met a few IMG surgically trained individuals who are now doing fellowship...so obv it is possible..but my question is, how realistic is it?
For example, lets say I do my gen surg training in UK...and then decide to do something like colorectal fellowship, surg onc fellowship, trauma, etc.
Would this be easier than coming straight over as an attending, or is it still just as difficut?
Sorry for hammering away at this topic, but I am applying for residency this year and have to decide (as dramatic as this sounds) potentially the next 40 years of my life...
thanks,
