How difficult is it to match into a residency spot after completing medical school abroad?
I am interested in applying to the University of Dublin through the Atlantic Bridge Program, but I want to be able to match into a neurosurgery residency. I would be considered an IMG when I come back to the U.S. so I was wondering if it would be better to just take a traditional medicine route...
