I'm considering apply to this school, but I have significant doubt about this school. I'm a Canadian citizen who can't work in EU or US at the moment.
My main worry is about my career path after graduation. Basically, Canada shuts its door to most (90%+) foreign trained medical graduate, so thinking about coming back to Canada to work seems to be unrealistic. My only hope would be to find a residency match in the U.S. However, I heard that such position is extremely hard to find, given that I will be trained in Cyprus and don't a green card. I'm aware that I can apply to H1-B visa, but few hospitals are willing to sponsor this. I'm afraid that I will be either homeless, or working in a minimum-wage job with huge load of debt.
Another of my concern is about the integrity of the school staff. They told be that there will be 50 clinical rotation spots in Chicago, but some posts indicate this is a lie and only 24 is available.
However, there are some positive aspects about this school though: its link to St George's, the small class size...
Given all the ups and downs, I really wonder if I should apply or not. Anyone who can share some insights will be greatly appreciated!!
