I've seen and heard of people from other countries come to the US to train in a subspecialty fellowship without having to do a residency here. They end up going back to their country after finishing.
Is that possible as a US citizen then as well? Let's say I wanted to do plastics overseas (like in China) and just needed training. Could I learn enough to do that and not have to do a fellowship?
Basically saying, is there a way to train to do advanced procedures (ENT, uro, ortho) without doing the full on residency/fellowship for learning purposes and using them in other countries (volunteer work, etc)?
