  • In this video I walk you through the best medical schools to look into if you want to go to an international medical school, what their requirements are, and where they are located. Most people don't know these schools exist until late into their pre-med careers and so I hope this video helps breaks things down into digestible chunks.

    If I missed any MD Program you know of that is known for taking in US students, please comment below so others can see them! If you can include a bit of info about them, even better, cheers! 😁

    One of my nephews went to med school in France and very soon he will take the USMLE to be able to get a surgery fellowship in the US. He grew up in France but he is bilingual so he won't have any trouble. it is so much cheaper to become a doctor over there but it is very hard to get into med school. You need to pass a super tough exam after high school.

    Very interesting video! As a Polish American, I certainly considered Jagiellonian in Krakow, but ended up studying at a U.S.-DO program. Acknowledging match metrics in your video was part of the reason why I’m choosing to stay in the US, but do miss the chance of studying medicine abroad. Catch-22 situation :)

    For being a nursing student in the ADN program (2year) I thinks it’s awesome that you include and amazing on the schools part that a bachelors is not needed. Gives me the opportunity to start taking medical school pre reqs courses instead of having to get my bsn then take pre req courses. My Top 1 choice is SGU and they state
    “A bachelor’s degree (or its equivalent) is required, which includes all the required science coursework.”
    Does that mean an associates + pre req science courses that could equal 90-120 hours is equivalent to a bachelors degree? And could be accepted?

    People dont want to hear this, but he 'best' IMG medical schools for the states are the established and prestigious schools that are NOT (frankly) diploma mills for unmatched American students. Those would be Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh... bar none. Yes, you will most likely be able to match somewhere from UQ or Sackler (they are good schools), but if you really want a top program/speciality you would practically need to be a real 'img.'

    • @mk7372

      Mainly depends on the individual from my perspective, the school can give you opportunities but it’s up to you in the end, I’d say check out the match list for whatever school you’re looking at though

    • @frankmsimon
      @frankmsimon  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      So for rotations at MUA I know students can go to either US or Canadian affiliated teaching hospitals (full list here under "hospital teaching sites": www.mua.edu/md-program/clinical-medicine). In terms of residency, I didn't do too much research there so I can't speak to that very well.

      Be careful in your choice because these schools with a few exception do not guarantee you acceptance into a local internship or residency program which are reserved for their own citizens. They want your money but don't want you to stay. There are a few exceptions but very few. Internships and Residency programs are funded by the gov. for their citizens n most other countries.

      Depends what you want. SGU has no research of any consequence and is not a real university in the same sense as RCSI which has established research programs and is world ranked. Pass rates on USMLE exams are similar so you need to look into both and see if either are what you are looking for.
