I am an undergraduate student in the U.S. after my undergraduate education in America, I wanted to move to the U.K. and possibly go to medical school there because let's face it, healthcare in America SUCKS! however, i know the medical school system is different in the u.k. than in the u.s. after 4 years undergrad, is it possible for an American student to go to med school in the U.K. and if so, what are some worthwhile schools?

the system in the UK is that at 18 you go straight from school into a 7 year medicine course. as you have already done 4 years hopefully you can do a few less. you need to have a look on the UCAS website - very important. and for some really good universities look on the times and guardian newspaper university league tables. search by medicine, and you'll have a good idea of the best places to go. then have a look on those university's individual website. call to find out exactly what the procedure will be for someone in your position. figure out whether you want to go to a campus university like st andrews or warwick, or a city based one, like ucl or imperial in london. do you have the money to study in london or in the surrounding area? its expensive.
