Well insha Allah you'll be successful and will achieve your dreams, no matter how many hurdles come your way =D And thank you ^^

Between the two, I'd say the US. It's relatively less expensive than in the UK and due to a greater diversity of patients, students and doctors alike, you can gain a bit more experience in the US than in UK. I can't say I really know about their programs in detail but I do know that the doctors in UK are pretty reckless sometimes. (My sister lives there and keeps us informed xD) But really, you could use a more informed opinion.  :P

I don't understand the system in USA actually. I think we must do a bachelor's degree for 3/4 years and then apply for Medical school. Right? ::)
It's quite confusing. :o
OMMGGG. Really?
I thought UK was really great in Medicine. ::) :P

Yes, that's how it goes it seems. Waste of a lifetime :P
It's possible that the programs are good, but the doctors are not. xD

Brazil. International students have to take the same entrance/admission exams and like national students, does not pay monthly or yearly fees but books, photocopies, transportation, food, etc. Assuming that you apply for public universities. Much like in other parts of the world there are the good, the exceptional and the bad or very bad unis.

For some reason the quality of surgeons, dentists, physiotherapy, etc in here is internationally recognized. I don't know much about the undergraduation programs. I only know that there is an outrangerous number of cases of medical errors, too many medicine colleges that are bad and the highest competition of all courses in overall. I can't discuss about local health care system, that's beyond my knowledge.

I am not sure but i think I know why :P
Cause usually they arent able to diagnose your problem and it takes them like a week or so just to know what has happened to you ::). Well, after they finally understand your condition they will give you an appointment of 1 month later, yeah it happens :P.
I am not just saying it on my own, my relatives in uk have experienced it ::)

I still believe education there is really good but i do wonder why the doctors turn up like this  :-\
But I am sure they are still better than the arab doctors here *no offense* ::), I know some of them are really good but I usually came across the not so good ones.  ::)

WHO (UN) ranking of the world's best health systems:

http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html

U.S is rated 37th (hehehehe take that  ;D), UAE 27th, U.K 18th

Ze french have ze best health system followed by Italy. I don't know how much of a reflection this is of their medical schools....but maybe It could help you make a choice.

Even though U.S has the best medical schools, students come out with thousands of dollars in loans, plus you have to do a 3-4 years of pre med first (bleh, you can only do Med as a second degree, such a drag). One of my dad's friends is an anesthesiologist in the U.S and she has to pay $65,000 per annum in insurance(against lawsuits) to be able to practice cause US patients sue... A LOT....(often for no apparently good reason!!) so a major dent to your income, I can't say how widespread this is among doctors in the U.S though, but it seems reasonable
Plus lawsuits make it very difficult for doctors to practice in the U.S. and push up the cost of health care. The same anesthesiologist told us that some doctors will tell you to get a CT Scan if you come in with just a headache (non-chronic that is) just to be safe from lawsuits.
Anyway, there no denying that the U.S has great schools, so if you have the time, go in, study, and GET OUT lol

Agreed.

@tmisterr: Yeah, you are right. In US medicine is like a 12 years course :o
Even for UK, i think its better to go, just study and then come back!
