How does one from the U.S. go to Medical School abroad


How does one from the U.S. go to Medical School abroad?
I am considering studying abroad (Italy) for Medical School. Does anybody study abroad? Is anyone thinking about it? Has anyone done it? What's the attitude towards foreigners in European schools? Any feedback is appreciated!!

I am a European my country is small but our medical university's doctors are appreciated all over Europe. we have foreign students and they are treated the same as us.

Studying abroad is a great idea. But I wouldn't recommend you a Medical School because of the following reasons: It will be extremely difficult if not impossible to get your degree acknowledged in the U.S. after the completion of your studies. Medical studies are organized very differently in Europe. It will be hard for you to comply with the entry requirements. (American High School won't be good enough). Medical Schools are typically in local language. If you do not speak the local language very well you will have a realy hard time. So I would consider other subjects.
