How hard is it to get into US residency programs if you are non-us citizen who studied your MD from european uni.? Lets just say for example forum Prague or similar.
 
You're going to need a residency program to sponsor a visa for you. No visa = no work and many residency programs will not go through the hassle of filling out the paperwork for a foreign MD.

Your best bet is to find training in the country you were trained in.
 
I would go to a different forum that is more supportive of foreign medical graduates. This forum is mostly run by US medical graduates who tend to not know as much as some of the other forums. I recommend ValueMd. Thats how I found about the medical school I eventually attended, and also I researched how to return to the US after school and get into residency on that forum. ValueMd.....
 
You can also try "prep4usmle"
