[QUOTE="Scottish Chap, post: 2261935, member: 29185"] Miami used to have a special PhD-to-MD program that lasted 2 years. The graduates were highly successful and practiced in all areas of medicine (see articles in the New England Journal of Medicine). This program was discontinued at the request of the LCME (they accredit North American Medical schools). Some say it was all political. There are no three-year M.D. programs in the U.S. that I am aware of for those entering with a four-year degree (though I personally know a graduate of the Medical College of Ohio who did this when this school had such a program). Washington University in St. Louis used to have a three-year M.D. for Ph.D.s but I dont think they do any longer. I heard a rumor that Duke has a three-year M.D. for Ph.D.s but I cannot confirm the integrity of that. Two Canadian universities have a thee-year M.D. (McMaster and University of British Columbia; Canadians please correct me if Im wrong), but neither will accept internationals. Most Americans will tell you that its best if you obtain medical training in the country that you intend to practice in. This is usually the country that you hold citizenship in. This will circumvent one having issues with funding medical school training and making sure you can become licensed and use the degree if its from another country. However, like many things in life, what seems insurmountable at first glance may be overcome if you have enough persistence. Yes, as I found out, ALL American schools will make you take the MCAT - internationals with B.S./B.A. degrees owe them this exam too. It's their system, so we have to play by their rules. Good luck! :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
