I've seen advertisements here in Miami which says become an MD in UCE which is in San Pedro in less than 6 years. The advertisements are in English. Do they teach in English over there? If they don't why would they advertise in English here in Miami?

As far as age is concerned don't let that get you down. You are very young. I've met MD residents in their 40's and 50's. There are NOT many around of course with the bulk being in the typical age range. Here though in the states they view those at that age as being more mature and ready for the rigors of medical school and residency. So forget the age thing but do find about UCE. I believe they teach in English but I may be wrong.

Yes, they teach in
English in the Capital .. I have seen them having their text books copied around the zona universaria... The goal is to sit for the boards in the US .. either NY or FL, I think are both offered here. I remember reading about a high percentage who were accepted for internships in NYC and passed the boards with flying colors//

I think that if you are willing and able and have the money to study here .. i e support yourself
you should follow your dream

but i am worried about having : a few" English///

but that is a minor and tricky mistake// the rest of your posting was excellent.

You might try taking some TOEFL tests .. to see if you really are competent in English. There is no use wasting your money and time on courses you will not understand.
