[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, she can do that.

But.

Medical degrees are not transferable from country to country, and they all require doctors with foreign degrees to re-take exams and residencies. That is NOT a negligible proposition!!!

My husband has an MD/PhD from a European country, and knows a lot of European doctors working in the US, some of whom chose to practice medicine here and retake their exams. The others work in clinical research at the NIH, or in biotech, like my husband.

So frankly, it's a chore. But if you don't have the means to pay for med school here, yes, it will shave off a significant amount of money. It might not add years at all, given that in many EU countries, you start medicine as an undergrad. But she'll have to stay sharp on her board exams, and know she has to find a residency here in the US.

This! My husband had a specialty in his field and he had to repeat a 6 years residence! They only validated his medical degree. However there is a serious shortage of medical doctors so many of those rules are becoming more lax. It's a risk though.[/quote]
