I've decided to join this site because upon reading it in hopes of answering some of my questions about med school, I found that there are no short supply of people on this site that are vastly more informed than me about this system (especially the international one), and I wish to have some of my personal questions answered if it is at all possible. So I'm gonna start in a fairly general fashion and beat it down till I get some more specific concerns once I learn some more.
I've just recently started medical school in an international school that has just opened its doors. I've heard from many that this might be an unwise decision, but I made it and I don't care to hear that I've made a huge unreprable mistake. I don't think I have and if it wasn't the wisest decision I still believe I can make the most of it granted my school does its job. I just want to know what I need to do to make this work and to pass my USMLE and return to the states where I wish to use my education to be a doctor to serve people in need. So I guess first I'd like to know what I need to expect from my school in regards to the fact that it is an international medical school serving to train mostly American students to return and practice in the states. What will be expected of my school and I once it comes time to apply for my license if I should pass the steps of the USMLE? And to add to the difficulty, what will it take for me to eventually practice in the state I'm from, Texas? I know these are general questions, I'll except any sincere answer I can get, and I'll go from there to learn more. Thanks
