I've spent the entirety of my life overseas; initially, seven years in Japan (born in Yokosuka Naval Hospital), and 13 years in rural Germany. My parents both hold government positions, though my mother is stationed here as a DoDDes teacher (she is the sponsor), and I've ultimately grown accustomed to the European lifestyle. Warsaw is a hop and a skip over the border with an international English division, I've done my research with both personal accounts from graduates and articles, determining the University to offer an adequate medical education. My dilemma here is when I worked in the Army clinic in Vilseck as a Red Cross volunteer, many of the Army physicians explained that it would be best if I attended an American Medical University rather than an international uni, both in part due to my citizenship and possible interest in practicing in the US. I have no clue where I'm ultimately going to practice. There are the added benefits of being close to my parents, only 12k Euro a year in terms of expenses, and not having to earn a BA with pre-med reqs prior to applying, I would only need to complete an obligatory Physics/Biology/Chemistry exam for entrance, and while this might be impressive in terms of the hoops jumped to earn the MD, I feel it is much more efficient.
Ultimately, I suppose my question is when applying for residency programs to hospitals, would this look suspicious, as if I was some failed applicant to a US Med School? Would they delve deeper, or would I fall into the background?
