Following Boomting, the odds are exceptionally low for international medicine applicants at any UK uni, and virtually nil for Oxbridge. Cambridge is not allowed to take more than 22 international students for medicine, and although I don’t know for Cambridge, the Oxford admissions person said that Ox rarely takes its full quota of international students.

And as not the others have noted, it is getting harder and harder for foreign trained medics to get US residency placements.

One clarification of Boomtings comment about more ECs- only ones that are directly relevant to medicine would be considered. Frankly, you would have a shot for a lot of other courses at Oxbridge, but medicine has different limits.

If the 6 year part is what is interesting to you, here is a list of some in the us:

[6 Year Accelerated BS/MD Programs - Direct BS-MD and BA-MD Programs](6 Year Accelerated BS/MD Programs - Direct BSMD and BAMD Programs)

I know Dalhousie in Canada has one, and I think Queens has just started one, and the AMA accepts Canadian credentials.
