Dual Citizenship - Med School in US?

[japlanet]

Hi;

 

I have dual citizenship (canada/US) - which would clearly make going to a US med school a nice option for me (I have a SSN, no visas, etc).

 

My only question is how it works if I want to come back and practice in Canada? I've heard that the process to get licensed is long and awful.

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

I don't know a whole lot about this, but the few doctors/med school profs I've spoken with have said that it's not too bad coming back if you do your residency in Canada. If you do both med school and residency in the states you'll have more hoops to jump through.

 

not sure how true this is though...
