Hi,

I am currently finishing medical university in europe. Right now im doing my Neurosurgery rotation in europe aswell.
I was offered a residency spot in Neurosurgery here and I wanted to know that, if after I finish my residency here, can I work in the US as a neurosurgeon. Obviously I would have USMLE steps finished by then and maybe even a fellowship done in the US?

Thanks,
Andrew

P.S. If it turns out the I cant, then do you think its better to stay in this program for a year or two to finish publications and gain experience and then apply to the US residency match or should I just get up and leave right away?
