Other options than US.

Hello everybody,

Recently I am studying here in the Dominican Republic. I've read alot of posts about US preparation and Step 1/2/3 so on and so forth. What I am interested in is what other options are there, country wise? I do not know if I am really interested in going back to the US and have been trying to scout other countries to practice in. I know that alot of Dominicans finish their M.D.'s here and then move onto Europe (Italy, Spain, etc...). I want to know:

1) How, what is required to go onto a country other than a US.
2) Where can I find a list of countries that would accept medical schools from the D.R.
3) What are my best options, other than the US? Preferably English-speaking. (Who knows maybe Ireland, I hear their economy is booming.)

I'm still considering the U.S, based on the fact that soon with the baby-boomers aging/retiring they will need more doctors. Though I am hesitant because I see the US medical system becoming socialized somewhat like Canada's and prefer not to touch anything remotely like that, even with a long stick.

Basically, any pros-cons facts that somebody can feed me on any other country would be appreciated. Just trying to figure out what puddle I want to jump into next after my adventure in La Republica. Thanks.
