<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm currently a senior in high school. I've been admitted to a top university in Asia and some good liberal art colleges in the Midwest region studying PT. If I wanted to study overseas during my undergrad, how difficult would it be to be accepted into US grad school in medicine with a foreign degree? </p>
<p>
Very difficult. You’ve probably heard of “pre-med” courses, which are required or strongly recommended for admission by most medical schools in the US. The current pre-med recommendations are as follows: </p>
<ul>
<li>Two English literature or writing courses</li>
<li>Calculus, Statistics</li>
<li>One year of general chemistry</li>
<li>One year of organic chemistry</li>
<li>One year of biology</li>
<li>One year of physics</li>
</ul>
<p>Recommended: physiology and biochemistry</p>
<p>I am not familiar with the curriculum at Asian universities, but in most non-American countries, students follow a standardized curriculum for their major and would not have the flexibility to complete the full pre-med sequence. (For example, English and advanced chemistry are probably not part of the Physical Therapy curriculum.)</p>
