This might sound like a silly choice but I might be interested in practicing in a different country (eg. Korea) in a few years from now. Would it be even possible to graduate US medical school and do residency abroad so I can work in the respective country afterwards -- I understand that this would mean that I probably won't be able to practice in United States?
For a country like Korea, I am aware that it might be a better option to complete residency in US and then attempt to practice in their international hospitals or US army bases as an US-trained physician. If the first option of doing residency entirely abroad isn't possible, would there be any options to take electives during residency abroad, as to be able to spend a significant amount of time outside US?
If you couldn't tell already, I am bit eager to "escape" the life in United States, at least for a few years.
Thank you for any input in this matter
