I have the same problem But I'm from Bulgaria which is in EU and i'll be last year in medicine. I want to go to Italy for my specialization but I don't have much information how exactly to do it. All i know is that I have to pass an exam i 2 parts and for sure you can work after completing your specialization if someone have more information pls write

but I would just forget the idea.

My DH is a vascular surgeon in Italy. He's Italian. It's almost impossible for Italians to get into residency (doesn't matter what specialty). Most work for FREE for 2-3 years before getting in. And then they only get in bc they hospital they worked for free at basically opens a slot for them. In any given year there is only one resident PER YEAR per hospital (if even).

Also, keep in mind that it's far from what I would consider spectacular training (not to criticize my own DH... I think he would agree that the lack of curriculum is appalling). You do mostly scut work your first couple years. He didn't get a solo surgery until he was FINISHED with his residency. Yeah, it says he did solo surgeries in his log but the surgeons with higher rank always take them.

Then after that, there is almost no career path. You basically have to wait for the higher ranked guys to retire/die before you can move up.

I cast a really bad light on the situation here but it's not really that bad. But I certainly wouldn't consider it a top choice if I didn't already live here IYKWIM. Most of our friends in surgery are going abroad for either residency or fellowship.
