I originally asked these questions in another thread, but figured it'd be better to ask them in a separate thread. I'm applying to Aussie med schools like Flinders and UQ. And would like to come back to the US after graduation.
1. Is a foreign med school's accreditation with the World Health Organization (WHO) of any importance when applying to residencies in the United States? Do residencies in the US even care whether or not your med school is WHO accredited?
2. Does the med school you graduate from have to be ECFMG certified in order for you to get ECFMG certification as a foreign med school graduate?
Thanks.
