Hello all,
Some background on me. Im a UK medical graduate starting my radiology residency the UK this year. I have thought about moving to the US to practice and done USMLE 1/CK/CS with high scores. Was planning to do Step 3 this summer but COVID has caused me to postpone that
In understand that prestigious rads programmes are hard to come by for FMGs, especially when there is a visa requirement. My current residency is at a top 10 medical school globally. My question is whether you think its better to complete my residency in the UK at a prestigious hospital with research opportunities and then attempt to move to the US via the alternate pathway or whether its better to try and get a residency position at a maybe low/mid tier hospital in the US. Im asking both about the feasibility of each option and also the overall career benefit
Thanks.
