It's extremely complicated to become a doctor here if you went to a foreign medical school. There are 4 License examinations which are not only very hard but also expensive. And their focus is quite different from European schools. Not to mention the type of questions. I took the first of the 4 so far. You also can only apply for residency one a year and then wait months until you get matched to any hospital in the US and likely not the specialty you want to go into unless you aced the exams.

 

I guess if you are already a specialist it's easier. If you still need to go through residency? It's not... Sadly.

I know it's hard. I had to take an exam as well and I even have to do an internship before I can get an official license even though I have 8 years of experience. Luckily the internship is compensated. And if you want to do a specialization in Austria you have to do a residency there as well, don't you? So I would not let that stop me. I often wanted to give up while going through the process and move back to Europe and I still might, but not without at least having tried my best to make it work here.

 

Also consider that in rural areas there is a big need for medical professionals and the state board deciding on your professional license are more lenient on their criteria then so that you don't have to ace your tests, have an exact comparable curriculum, etc.

The County I live in has no Doctor, or Pharmacy.

Anybody seriously ill goes out on the Helicopter. Must cost a fortune.

We do have a nice Surgery, but no Doctor wishes to relocate here and the old one retired.

Somebody told me for a Pharmacy to be successful you need a local Care Home.
