Australia or Caribbean?

hey just a question..since I live in Canada, a degree from the Carib or Australia would be considered as an international degree to an international student in the United States. But if you had an option between the two, which one would you choose??

Oh and one more thing... what's the difference between MBBS ( degree granted by medical schools in Australia, England, India and Pakistan) and MD ( degree granted by medical schools in US, Canada, Carib)

which one should I go for??

I don't even know if the Australian government permits its non-Australian medical grads to practice there.. do they?

Post this on the Australian forum, however, MBBS and MD have been discussed on many occasions, no real difference apart from the letters, both are primary medical qualification.

Personal opinion, quality of education is better at the australian universities, and you would probably not be looked up-on as 'just another carrib. Grad'. however for returning to practice in the US, probably a carrib. programme would be better for you, allowing strong contacts to be made in the US.

Good luck,
