Hi, I am planning for my future and have decided that I want to live in the UK. I, however, wish to pursue a career in medicine. I still have two more years left of high school. What are my choices to attend a UK Medical school? I heard there were 4, 5, and 6 year programs. I was thinking of attending a university in London (richmond) and try to get a BA in Psychology. With this degree, could I get the requirements to take the 4 year course for medicine? Cheers and thanks in advance. I'd just like to point out that I live in the USA am I have signed up for multiple honors classes.

It's great that you're thinking about your options now. Here are a list of all the medical schools in the UK. Click the desired program and you'll get the links for the fees, requirements, etc.: http://search.ucas.com/cgi-bin/hsrun/search/search/StateId/D82iEo_5WWylC0z5bGhZ-hfcV5MwC-VQJm/HAHTpage/search.HsSearch.submitForm?txtSubject=medicine&cmbQual=&cmbAttend=&cmbInst= Yes there are 4 year programs (for mature students who already got a undergrad), 5 year programs (direct-entry med) and 6 year programs (Oxbridge, Pre-med, and Foundation courses). Foundation courses are for students who took no more than one of biology, chem and physics. Yes you can practically do any degree and go into med school somehow. However you'll have to do well on your UKCAT and/or BMAT. Yes, so you could go to Richmond. However, it is not really recognized...for a competitive program like medicine, they might look at the school reputation for border line cases. Try going to a top college like UCL if you really do decide to get a BA in psychology first.
