Can they? I was under the impression that the U.S. doesn't recognize medical degrees from other countries.

- arcticbull 6y agoIn Canada at least, foreign-trained doctors need to complete a medical degree equivalency exam and to re-do their residency. Due to the complete lack of residency spots available to them a low number of foreign trained doctors ever end up practicing medicine again after moving to Canada. It's pretty nutty. Curious how it works in the US but I suspect it's not wildly different.
- flowerlad 6y agoIf you have a medical degree from a foreign country you take the USMLE test followed by 3 years of residency in order to get a license to practice in the US.
