If anyone is interested I am happy to assist if I can. I studied mainly in Spanish and became near native fluent in it. I have practiced medicine in the usa for many years.

Sure, I got a question. Do South American schools take Americans (US) into their programs? Specifically, schools in Buenos Aires? What about Brazilian schools as well? Seems Brazilian schools are very strict about who they let in (if you are a foreigner, you need to be from a 3rd world country, etc.), I don't know if Argentina is run similarly. How about Chile? Thanks.

Octobre.. where are you from originally? Can you give me a little bit of background info about yourself and how you ended up going to med school in spanish and ultimately working in the states? I'm a soon-to-be med student from Canada, and although i have no desire to work in the US, I would like to be able to return to Canada and work one day. For now, however, studying in South America attracts me enormously...
