That is funny, my SO lives in Tampa too, but the difference is that I am a doctor in Holland.. I have't started my residency yet (here you can practice as a doctor without doing your reseidency right away), and I have considered to do my residency in the US. But that is so hard, even for US students, so for me it would be nearly impossible. And very expensive with multiple exams I have to do... and then work for years (hours and hours a week) without money? I really don't want to do that.
So the other option is to find another job, and I get your SO's doubts about giving up. Even thoug I know that I can be happy doing something else, giving up what you studied for is hard. I studied 6.5 years, and I like what I am doing now. It's a hard dicision! You are very lucky that he considers to move for you and try something new, but he should be really sure about it, you don't want him to regret it later. Don't push it too much for now, he probably doesn't even know what he wants at this moment, other than be with you. It can be a big sacrifice.
The other option sounds really good though, it's good you guys have other options! Maybe I didn't read it well enough, but there is no option for him to do residency in France?
