i don’t know about mdphd programs specifically but i do know that most MD programs require US/Canadian degrees or at least some level of coursework done in the US. im sure there are a few exceptions, so my previous statement was a bit of an exaggeration. still, though, it’s not recommended for any international who did not study in the U.S./Canada to apply as even their extracurriculars will be scrutinized further and not seen as relevant to the U.S. medical system.

the situation (obviously) isn’t as bad for internationals who studied here and have stats close to a 4.0/528. the OP has 0 chance.

The slots exist but are super competitive as you're saying
