Hi All,

Today I had an interesting idea. Does anyone here have any knowledge to share on the subject of Canadians studying medicine in either the Caribbean or Osteopathic Schools then making their way to UK to practice?

I am somewhat interested in the idea of living in England.

Is this possible? Is it harder/easier than coming back to Canada to practice from either med school circumstances?

Thanks.

I've heard Australia and New Zealand tossed around as ideas (as both are reportedly hurting for doctors). Not sure about UK though.

Says here that 1 in 5 docs there are foreign trained because of the doctor shortage and that they need lots more primary/IM docs, which is good because I want to go into GE.

So does anyone else have any thoughts?

I'm having trouble finding any useful info on google. Not many people share this idea.
