Credentials are everything in life, without them we're all worthless basically. That's all that society really wants.

medicine is different than law

virtually every medical school requires good stats to get in (even the caribbean ones that many american students who can't get into a US medschool go to) not like law school where literally anyone can get (obviously if you have shitty stats you go to a shitty law school)

u have to take your licensing exams (USMLEs), redo your residency (hard to get competitive residencies as a foreign MD/MBBS/etc, even if you were a neurosurgeon or something competitive back at home), and then you can practice as a MD in the states.

and most likely like the guy said on the 3rd page you have mild hyperhidrosis, nothing to really worry about

Foreign grads such as MBBS have 5 years of med school total right after doing their +2 AKA high school for example, in those 5 years the first 2 are all theory, the next 2 are clinical, and the last year is INTERNSHIP, not residency.

After that you come back and take your USMLE's then get matched into a residency program.

The matching goes:

U.S. born/U.S. med school (top priority)
Foreign born/U.S. med school (2nd tier)
U.S. born/Foreign med school (caribbean, abroad, etc.)
Foreign born/Foreign med school (last tier)

so basically anybody that doesn't go to a u.s. med school better damn well score above a 95th percentile (or 90th and hope ur lucky) to get matched to even a halfway decent paid residency program in the united states.

For foreign grads everything is off limits for residency except Internal medicine, family practice, and pediatrics. So basically foreign grads have to do internal medicine a little longer than u.s. med students to get a better career, otherwise apart from the USMLE score and residency choice limits, there is no difference. The end result is the same.


And i'd love to see your credentials.

If you had already completed your residency in a foreign country you will have to redo it of you want to practice in america

That's what my post said as I was responding to people asking what a foreign practicing doctor would have to do to practice in america and your long and informative post doesn't address this situation, But rather a situation where you go to medschool out of the us with the intent of coming back to do your residency and practicing in the us

edit: also for foreign grads, residencies aren't "off limits" you can get something competitive like ortho/derm/radiology/what have you, the chances are just severely reduced.

And I didn't even want to tell anyone on this forum of my career path much less share my credentials with you

Yea my post does address the situation.

And fuck your credentials, they can suck a big black cock.

so you are standing your words that if someone was a practicing doctor in a foreign country (meaning they have completed medical school + residency) they wouldn't have to redo a residency if they want to practice in the US?

if so, as i said originally please use google before you call someone out.
