We take a look at the global Medical School experience by interviewing three members of the UC Davis Medical Center about their time studying medicine outside the United States. Dr. Allan Martin, Dr. Rosa Rodriguez, and Dr. Joseph Firriolo relate to us the ins and outs of their medical education experiences in Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Australia, respectively. Our guests discuss the cultural and logistical transitions that studying medicine abroad but practicing in the United States entails and they offer key insight into how they approached their studies and the process of earning a medical degree.
