[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does she plan to practice medicine?  [/quote]

In the US. The plan is to apply for residence here.[/quote]

If that falls through, would she be willing to practice in the home country or another country that imports doctors? [/quote]

no, not really. she doesn't hate it, but very much prefers to work and live in the US. she is a bit of a miser, and obviously, the cost of schooling is very significant even if she weren't. it's also a shorter program (6 years total) that starts after high school, with only one admissions cycle.[/quote]

Is she certain she can get a residency in the US? It seems hard to believe she’d be 6 years past high school and be allowed. Or that those credentials would “count” in the US[/quote]

yes, be careful with this.

It's been eons ago (DH is 55), but he  immigrated to US with MD/PhD. A med school friend of his is a radiologist in San Diego, but he moved a few years later, and whatever body it is that certifies credentials changed the status of their med school for that one cohort (it was an "experimental" program for that group) and he was missing a few classes in order to practice as an MD here. He's a research scientist, loves the job, but clearly the salary of his friend in California is much, much higher[/quote]
