What is the success rate of North American students completing their MD degree in Ireland/UK, passing the exams and return to Canada/US to practice?

I haven't heard much about students failing out of schools or graduates unable to pass USMLE exams etc.

Please share any stories, experiences, stats etc.






If the success rate is high, then I will use this to try to convince my parents to cosign for me.
 
The success rate is fairly high. However, know that there are some US students (I'd say perhaps at least 1 per year) who DO have trouble with the USMLE exams. In my experience I haven't known any US student to fail out of school, although i have known ones who were close.
