Straight after graduation rom medical school, what are your prospects for emmigration to the USA from the UK?|140373

What about after you have received full registration? Is it better to go before full registration or after? I have always had a burning ambition to go somewhere like Alaska, i think the drama of the scenery is awe inspiring and would love to go somewhere like that, either there or around the Rockies, either in America or Canada. How hard is will it be to emmigrate to Canada?

See website below. it is loooong , complicated process. it would be very helpful if you could find a British physician who has emmigrated to the u.S. and learn his/her experience. If you want to enter the U.S. immediately after graduating from med school, would you be looking for a residency program in the U.S.? I know nothing about this, but I know there ARE many foreign doctors in U.S. residency programs. Could your school help you learn how to apply for these programs? See web2nd site below to see if there are any articles there that could help you.

Hospitals in Alaska are always understaffed and looking for physicians and nurses. Maybe on of their HR departments are willing to help you.

Have your credentials in your pocket when you arrive.

Your best prospect is to apply for a postdocteral research fellowship. These pay very little, but they get you a visa for a few years. These fellowships are not managed nationally ... every institution has its own.

Perminant residency is very difficult, even with a medical degree.

You cannot practice medicine in the US with your medical degree. You would first need to pass a series of exams, then apply for a residency here.
