Hi,
I've posted to SDN several times about medical school in Italy, but most of the threads are outdated. I am a non-EU citizen interesting in attending medical school in Milan,Italy. I have completed my undergraduate degree in the US (all of the pre-health requirements) and I will be taking the MCAT this summer. From what I've found, most programs in Italy are six years. Is there anyway I could receive credit for the courses I've taken and accelerate a bit? Also, are the native programs more rigorous than the International programs? The schools I'm looking at are Pavia, University of Milan, and San Raffaele. Any knowledge about these programs? I understand that getting my medical degree in Italy would mean it would be difficult to come back to the states, but my intention is to live there. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
