Talk to your school and contact Johns Hopkins to see if you can get over here for a residency.  We have a lot of doctors from other places in the US so I know there are programs. \n\nGood luck!

If you're refering to University of Massachusetts, then yes. MA has some of the best schools in the country. Some other dental schools are Harvard and Tufts.

Go to UCD. do NOT major in biology. Instead, take an easy major and focus your energy on pre-med pre-req classes. That is the best strategy for med school. About 11% of Davis Med matriculants were UCD undergrads, so you have to work hard for it.\n\nI have **MANY** friends who are Indian physicians. They cannot get licensed to practice in America because they need to redo their residencies, take the Boards and so forth. It is a hassle because American medical programs consider these students low-priority. \n\nSo how do I know them? Because they all switched to public health and I met them during graduate school.

It is a fantastic school. There med. school is very highly rated as are all depts. It is located right in the heart of the cultural center of Pittsburgh so there is plenty for the student to do. I highly recommend it.

Harvard has a great program too, that specializes in Nutrition. I have been researching Public Health schools for a while and each one seems to have it's own specializations. I also gave the link to an Association that accredits public health schools..good luck in your search.

For starters, let's assume that you're a foreign student who wants to study in the U.S.\n\nGo to this site:\n\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/med/brief/mdrrank_brief.php\n\nThis will give you a list of the top medical schools in the United States, and there might be some information regarding on obtaining scholarship.\n\nSince I assumed that you're a foreign student seeking scholarship in a medical school in the U.S. here's a site that is pretty helpful because the information given on the requirements needed is pretty much detailed:\n\nhttp://usimmigration.visapro.com/F1-Student-Visa.asp\n\nHope these help.  And, Good Luck.

University of Washington - ranked the top Primary Care medical school \nHarvard (ever heard of this place before?) - ranked the top Research medical school \nUniversity of California, San Francisco and University of Washington - the only schools to make the top 10 in both primary care and research

Harvard College of Medicine, Mass., is ranked #1 by most credible polls.  It is also the school with the highest ratio of "accepted students who enroll" and one of the "toughest ratios" of applicants to admitted students.\n\nI am an MD and PHD, Yale alum, and my advice: ignore the rude comments by other person who has answered; study hard; learn all you can, and good luck!! \n\necl, md, phd

I'd suggest Houston.  I'm in the medical field as well, and have moved away a few times, but keep coming back because Houston has by far the best career opportunites of places I've been.  Cost of living is much lower than other large cities.  You can buy a 3 BR house for under 150K.  Houston has the largest consolidated medical center in the US, and there are over 80 hospitals in the city, including several large teaching institutions.  Winters are very mild, though the summers are pretty hot.  You're less than an hour from the beach, and there are some fantastic restaurants here.
