There is a real fundamental problem with doing pre-med coursework abroad. It’s a more or less universal requirement that all pre-reqs (science, math, English, social sciences) be taken at a US or Canadian college or university. (There are only 3 US med schools that will “consider” UK degree holders for admission, but even those programs strongly recommend taking additional US coursework for best consideration in admission.) Additionally about half to 3/4 of US med school have a 90 credit hour from a US college requirement for admissions consideration.
The other major issue is that AMCAS, the centralized application processing service for allopathic med school admission, will not accept or verify transcripts from foreign colleges. Without a verified transcript, your application is considered incomplete and will not be forwarded to medical schools.
See p. 49 [2017 AMCAS Instructional Manual](https://aamc-orange.global.ssl.fastly.net/production/media/filer_public/c0/f8/c0f8833d-a302-46c7-b726-1b153dbac6de/2017_amcas_instruction_manual-_final.pdf)
So, in order to be able to apply to US MD/PhD programs, at a minimum you’d need to return to the US after your degree abroad and complete a 2 year post-bacc program to fulfill med school admission requirements.
Also consider that admission to US medical programs (including MD/PhD programs) also have substantial non-academic expectations–including US clinical volunteering and US physician shadowing. Both of which would be difficult to obtain if you were doing your schooling in the UK.
Without the expected pre-med ECs (clinical volunteering, physician shadowing, community service, leadership roles, and substantial research experience for MD/PhD programs) you won’t won’t receive any love from med school adcomms during the admission process. And in fact, probably will get completely shut out. There’s a saying in med school admissions–stats get your application to the door, but it’s your ECs that get you invited in for an interview.
Now if you are willing to consider DO/PhD programs, there are 8 or 9 osteopathic med schools that will accept foreign degrees. The application process is different with a foreign degree, and you will need to contact each program individually and ask how that school handles it because AACOMAS (the centralized application processing organizations fro osteopathic med schools) will not accept or verify foreign transcripts either.
You will still be expected to have all the typical pre-med ECs, plus DO programs specifically require a letter of recommendation from a practicing DO from applicants.
