The next phase, the habilitation would be different than in the US if it is still in use in Germany. Some acquaintances of ours discussed differences between MD programs between the US and UK and Ireland. Not that the final degree/skills or capabilities are any different, though the pathways sound rather different (more hurdles in the US from what they told me, now as med school profs in Ann Arbor). -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics Inc. email: [email protected] web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/sicluster phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
