Im currently in my final year of studying biomedical science in the UK and have applied to UK medical schools currently waiting to hear from them. I was just wondering however as I want to move to America that what are the requirements to get into a US medical school for internationals. Is it possible to get in without having an american degree? Can I fulfill the course prerequisities within a year at a college? Any information at all would be greatly appreciated :D

Most US medical schools only accept students with US or Canadian bachelor's degrees. You may want to contact the admissions offices at some of the medical schools you are interested in and ask if they admit students with UK undergraduate degrees. Also, many medical schools do not accept international students. This is mainly due to the high cost of medical school in the US (approximately over 200,000 USD). The best advice I can give you is to complete your medical degree in the UK. Then, apply for internships or for a residency program in the US. Many medical schools around the world have "exchange" programs with US hospitals where foreign doctors can complete their internships and residency training. You will probably need to take the USMLE exams to qualify for a residency program and to practice medicine in the USA. Check the AMA website for more information: www.ama.org Good luck!
