Well I hold a grudge against the US because if I ever get my British medical licence then it is acceptable in every other country in the world except The USA! It sucks. I would have o go back to being an intern to work over there! I mean come on! A medical licence is a medical licence whatever country you are in! But if they dont want meto save American lives then its no skin off my nose!
Nope I dont think their course is any longer but I dont now about them having to have another dgree. Just because they have another degree doesnt make them more qualified to practce medicine anyway. Besides most british medical degrees now have an intercollated BSc now anyway so we have to do two degrees too!
