Once again, I am sure that there are excellent educational opportunities abroad; however, I do not recommend it.
I had strong USMLE scores and did my rotations in US hospitals, and I still had a very hard time obtaining interviews. There is a stigma against Foreign Medical Graduates (especially against those going to medical school in the Caribbean). I would say that the only way one should do rotations in Europe is if they actually attend school there. US residents who go to med school in the Caribbean and then do rotations in Europe I just think are at a disadvantage.
Just my two cents.
