But if that's the case, then it works up to your advantage.
Oh I heard that as well! Since the Medicine course is 6 years long (6th Year being the equivalent to a 'foundation training') in Czech Republic or Romania for example then candidates who would like to do their training course with an EU Citizenship 'skip' F1 (Foundation Year 1) over here. But still, EU Medicine graduates would need to compete for training posts/places against British Medicine graduates. (Yeah, fiercer than ever).

And yeah, I should use this advantage. But then my ultimate goal is to work in any state in the USA.
