Internship/Residency in UK or USA?

[delusion]

Where do you guys think is the best place to specialise in terms of how prestigious the programs are? Can you still practice in USA if you specialise in UK?

You can practice in the US as long as you have a license. Board certification usually doesn't make any difference regarding license (this varies by state).

The main difference will be where you are working. Some specialty hospitals in the US (both private and academic) will hire only US-recognized specialists. For example, the job description will say something like "qualifications include diplomate status in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons" while others will say "ACVS or ECVS"

In general though, the European specialty boards are increasingly seen as equivalent to the American ones.

One other issue is whether your job involves training residents. Many of the American specialties only allow their own diplomates to train residents. But this is changing, especially considering universities are having a very difficult time recruiting and retaining clinical specialists.

In many universities in the US u can do internship/residency w/o a license. U will need a license to do those in private hospitals.
go to www.virmp.org this is the matching program, you have to apply through this program. It opens every year around Sept, you have to apply by Dec, and you get the results by May. To increase your chances you should visit.
In NY state you need only the NAVLE for a license, but in private hospitals it is more difficult to get a working visa.
I don't know much about England, I know that the medicine there is really good, but my guess would be that it is harder to get accepted there since there are less universities and positions.
Good luck

I personally know 3 specialists in big hospitals in NY, which are not American's and do not have the regular vet license. Their work s limited to their specialty only
