[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]

Good luck with that. [/quote]

Why? Nearly 70% applicants for residency who are trained abroad get them.[/quote]

NP. You say that like it's a good thing? That means almost 1 in 3 of these people go all the way through medical school and then can't practice as a US doctor. [b]A medical degree without a residency is worthless in the US.[/b] You think it's a good idea to waste 4 years of your life in school and however much money it is (even foreign medical school is not free) to run a 33% risk of not having that career? Those are actually really bad odds. And many of the residencies that take more international medical graduates suck and are low caliber training and lots of scut work. Nobody thinks it will be them until it is, and 1 in 3 to throw away years of schooling and earning and have to go in another direction with that failure on your back is not odds I like.[/quote]

Not true. There are many careers where it's no worse than a random degree from a private school that cost 300-400k.
