Javier Said:

how to increase my chances of getting into a medical career?

We Answered:

Diligent, disciplined, responsible, and organized are just some of the characteristics that medical schools look for in students. Medical schools are interested in students who show the most potential and are the most promising. Additionally, a students GPA and academic course work are important to medical schools.
Many undergraduates choose to major in Biology but medical schools encourage students to choose a major that can provide the most diverse amount of knowledge. Take courses in a variety of subjects but include plenty of math and science courses. There are set core requirements that all students must take in order to attend medical school.

Course Requirements include:

1 year of Biology (with Lab)
1 year of Inorganic Chemistry (with Lab)
1 year of Organic Chemistry (with Lab)
1 year of English
1 year of Calculus or College Level Math
1 semester of Biochemistry (at select schools only)
A student’s overall GPA, a GPA in science courses, and a GPA in non-science courses are calculated separately. Medical Schools prefer students with a GPA of at least 3.5 in each GPA category (based on the US 4.0 scale). It is best to do well from freshman year but improvement over the years is also considered. If a student has trouble in any one course, they can still be accepted to medical school. They will have the chance to show improvement by retaking a similar course

he American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) issues one standardized application for M.D. schools, in which students include their personal information, grades, and a personal essay. The application costs $55 for the first school and lower for each additional school.
Components:

GPA and courses
MCAT scores
Personal essay. - The personal essay is very important in the decision process. Students should write an essay that is more personal, interesting, and entertaining, in order to increase their chances of acceptance.
Letters of recommendation
Secondary applications may be required by some schools.

If you made it to the interview process, your chances of acceptance to medical school have increased tremendously. Only applicants who appropriately fulfilled the previous requirements are granted an interview.

Answer: Before you visit, learn as much as possible about the school. The interviewer is then aware of your desire to attend their medical school.
During the interview, be prepared to answer common questions such as “Why do you want to become a doctor?” and “Why would you like to attend this medical school?” It is also important that you have knowledge on practicing medicine. Don't forget to ask questions as well. Most importantly, be honest and be yourself.

During your visit, explore the campus and talk to as many faculty and students as possible. They can give you a detailed perspective on what it is really like to be a medical student.

Arrive on time
Be yourself
Dress appropriately
Make eye-contact
Be polite

Ask Questions
Do not interrupt

You need to take the PLAB test which is easy enough but needs to be taken in the uk (The clinical part does anyway) and then after you get full registration with the GMC and can get a job.

Heidi Said:

Can a doctor transfer from the UK to the US?

We Answered:

You can go to a foreign medical school, but you MUST do a residency program in the U.S. to practice in the U.S.

However, it is more difficult to get into a U.S. residency program if you are coming from a foreign medical school. If you keep you're options open, this route is possible.

If you can get into a U.S. medical school, it would be easier for you in the long run though.
