In Pakistan, MBBS takes 5 years. You won’t be able to practice in US unless you pass their medical license examinations which are called USMLE and get residency. Preparing for these exams might take you 2 years. So, if you get a match for residency, you will need another 3 years. So, a total of 10 years. So, if you consider time factor, there is really no difference at all. On the other hand, money is a big factor since, Pakistan medical schools are much cheaper than US med schools. However, the quality of education differs. US schools are much better than Pakistan schools, though there are few med schools in Pakistan which are very good and you can get a quality education there. I hope it helped. Let me know if you need more help.
