I'm a little confused, I'd like to take my degree from the US but I'm just wondering which one is better, take my MD from Egypt and then take my residency from the US or take my MD from the US as well as the residency?, which one would be better?

Any choice that allows being in the US rather than Egypt
sounds like a wise one...

hi! u know what i had the same questions when i started out in medical school. I live in the Philippines, but if course I'd like to have the best medical education I can get. So now, I'm studying here in our country and my plan is to have my residency in the States. Your grades and clinical performance will determine your chances later. Besides, lots of doctors do that here and they got in anyway. So what do you have to lose if you study medicine in Egypt, and be near your family and all that, and have your residency in the States? Nothing. Hope I helped you out a little.

It is frequently difficult for international medical graduates to get a quality residency position in the U.S. So, if you choose to study medicine in Egypt, you should be prepared to have a harder time matching into a residency here. Also, the method of training is significantly different between the two countries. If you hope to do your residency here, then you should study medicine here.

Depends where you want to live. If you want to stay in Egypt , you can study there. However, if you're planning on moving to the States later on, then you better do it in the States. You have to check out if you get your degree in States if you can practice in Egypt. CHeers.

i think u shud study medicine in egypt n then go to US to do residency...
my point is that:
from ur statement .. it seems that u belong to egypt.. so its better that u study there.. cuz we all need a family to turn to when we'r feelin down etc... n it will also be cheaper to study in egypt.... cuz studyin medicine in the US is verrrrry expensive.....
n then if u wanna go to US .. u can give USMLE .. n then do ur residency there!!!!!

It depends which one you are comfortable with. Or depends which has more offers. If you like Egypt better than go ahead, if the US then stay here. If there are better opportunities in Egypt then go there.

If u have resources and u can afford tuition in US ,definitely study in US.Foreign graduates have to work harder than US graduates to get into really good programs,esp. if one is not US citizen.
