I am an American citizen currently living in mainland China (I've been here for the past 2.5 years).
I am 30 years old, and a "recovering attorney".
I am considering attending an English language MBBS program at Zhejiang University, which is in the top 5 or so such programs in mainland China.
It's a 5.5 year program, the last year of which consists of clinical rotations.
I would be doing so with a desire to match at a US residency (emergency medicine) and eventually practice in the United States or abroad; if I don't believe a have a good shot at an American residency, I don't think I will go through with it.
I am curious whether anyone can speak to what kind of negative perception I met receive by prospective residency directors based on my having attended medical school in China?
Many thanks for any and all comments or advice!
