Additionally, be aware of the difficulty of getting into medical schools in all these places as an international. You will have to jump through quite a few hoops.
A medical degree in the states takes four years. In the UK it's five, followed by two clinical training years, FY1 and FY2 (training years are salaried, but I wouldn't be visiting Porsche dealerships just yet).

In the UK, this is dealt with at A-Level, where Chem & Bio are required subjects for anyone wishing to apply to Medical Schools (and for which competition is notoriously fierce).
