Medical School in New Zealand?
I am an American citizen, and am interested in attending Medical School in New Zealand. Does anyone know if they allow foreign students into their medical programs? Does the degree transfer back to the US? I'd like to hear personal accounts of people who went to college for anything in New Zealand from the US and what it's like. Any information would be great! Thanks!
Hi.
NZ is a tiny country (4M people), so you would be lucky to get "personal accounts" …. so I'll answer a bit. 
We have only 2 med schools. One at Auckland Uni. The other at Otago Uni. Not sure what their requirements are for foreigners. Try their websites: www.auckland.ac.nz & www.otago.ac.nz
Our univ education is pretty good, so a med school degree here prob would transfer back to the US. (I know that a vet degree does.)
HTH

Rosalind.
