emmanuelc (Alumni) SGU's UK rotations go through their affiliated NHS trusts. The placement process is handled through the school's clinical office on the UK side.
mflores (Student) Not entirely with emmanuelc (Alumni) on this one. You'll need to check your visa requirements well before you plan to travel. US citizens typically have some flexibility but the specifics depend on how long you're staying.
lucaswhite (Alumni) Not entirely with emmanuelc (Alumni) on this one. If the UK is somewhere you're considering practicing eventually the rotations through SGU give you a foot in the door. For a purely US career path, treat it as an interesting elective rather than a core strategy.
michelle.khan (Student) Agree with mflores (Student) on this. Some students who've done UK rotations say the breadth of pathology they saw in NHS hospitals was excellent. The NHS patient volume and breadth of presentations are genuinely good clinical education.
justinali (Alumni) The clinical culture in UK hospitals is noticeably different from US hospitals. The hierarchy is different, the terminology shifts in places, and the patient relationship style is distinct.
jsmith (Student) UK rotation evaluations can be harder to use for US residency applications because American program directors aren't familiar with the UK grading and evaluation systems.
