getting matched if you are foreign MD

[jjy2103]

my friend is considering applying to australian med school.
i did some research, and it seems that many us students do goto australian med schools, then take the usmle.

my question is, are there any disadvantages to matching into a residency if you are a foreign med school graduate?
if you are
1)caribbean med school graduate
2)other foreign countries like australia

which is more disadvantageous?

does any have any info on this matter? i searched the threads and havent found anything on australian med schools.

thanks~

FYI Australia does not have MD program, they have MBBS.
