Can a doctor transfer from the UK to the US?
-
I am hoping to pursue a medical career, hopefully becoming an Obstetric or a Pediatrician. I would like to go to Medical School in the UK but when I graduate could I transfer to the US and live there? Thank-You in advanced.

Answer:
You can go to a foreign medical school, but you MUST do a residency program in the U.S. to practice in the U.S. However, it is more difficult to get into a U.S. residency program if you are coming from a foreign medical school. If you keep you're options open, this route is possible. If you can get into a U.S. medical school, it would be easier for you in the long run though.

Hi Maria, I am not sure what you mean by transfer to live in the US. If you graduate medical school in the UK without experience working in OB or pediatrics then enter the US as a doctor will most likely be difficult for you. Reason being, US has a different system and it will be, for the most part, up to the state that you want to practice if your qualifications are sufficient for you to work as a doctor in your chosen field. This will may mean that you attend 1 - 2 years of medical school and / or do a residency before you can work. Best advice would be to speak with the American Consulate about working as a doctor in the US. Also speak with the appropriate licensing board in the state that you want to work as a doctor and ask will they accept a medical degree from the UK.
