You might want to start by contacting an adviser at your medical school.  You might be able to do a student exchange program and work in a medical environment (instead of working in a gas station or convenience store).\n  \nIt's not an easy process. There is a lot of paperwork and it does cost money. My friend, from the UK, applied for a work permit but was denied and she can't figure out why. \n\nThe following link might provide helpful information\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm

This is what you need to do.\n\n1) In high school, take all the college prep courses, especially the science and math courses. You have to be good at these subjects, or choose another career.\n\n2) Four years of Pre-Med, with emphasis on a bachelor's degree in bilogy, or chemistry.\n\n3)If you are fortunate enough to get accepted into med-school, you have 4 years of hard work studying the general  aspects of medicine and general surgery.\n\n4) After you get your MD's degreeyou will have to pass a medical board to practice medicine as an intern in a hospital. After the one year internship is over, you can opt to become a generalpractioner, if that is your fancy. \n\n5) If you want to be a specialist in a medical field, such as internal medicine, you have a 3-5 year residency at a hospital, before you can get board certified in your area of specialization.

you have to go to www.ecfmg.org and register to take the usmle steps 1 and 2, then you have to take an english test and a practical exam in the US. This not only will ocst you a lot of time, but also a lot of money (probably altogether about $6,000).\nThen you have to register with ERAS and apply for residencies, but only after you have passed the above exams, then you interview and then you doa residency. At that point you have to take usmle step 3.\ngood luck

Both the US and Canada offer programs for International Medicine Studies.  Contact the Embassy for the country you plan to study in.  They can provide you the applications, requirements, and in most cases even help with the transfer credidation for your current school to the program that you wish to attend.

www.DrugDealers.com\n\nor you can just go the traditional way and choose a 4 year degree at a reputable university and actually go to class and study your brains out so that not only you have an excellent GPA, but that you also actually learn the information in the classes you take so that you can also get a high score on the MCAT. Then, apply to usually 10-20 different medical schools with the hopes that at least one accepts you. Study medicine for 4 years in a medical school, which most likely you won't be able to have any other life besides medical school. Then once you're done with 4 years of medical school you will most likely do a residency, which could possibly take another 4 years for a total of 12 years now. Then you can either start your own practice, or just work for some hospital as a doctor......\n\nbut the first website would probably be much easier....especially for you :-)

Premed - 4 years\nMed (DO) school : 4 years\nFP residency : 3 years\n\nThere are a lot of good DO schools.\n\nTo get into any graduate med school (DO/MD), you have to do VERY well in your premed courses. For MD school, you need the MCAT exam, I'm not sure about DO school.

I don't like the American system much.  Even though you have twenty years of experience, you will still need to go through the whole training process again and getting a good residency placement is very difficult.  \n\nThis puts off many experienced British and European doctors from immigrating to the US!\n\nYou will have more luck with Britain.

First you need to go to college and get your Medical School Requirements met. These usually include:  8 hours of General Biology (including labs); 8 hours of General Chemistry (again, including labs); 6 hours of Organic Chemistry (usually three is only an Orgo 2 lab-not a lab for orgo 1); 8 hours of Physics (including labs); Calculus I (only 3 med schools require Calc 2); Statistics I is suggested by many Medical schools; 4 hours Biochemistry (including lab); and then depending upon what Medical School you wish to get into, there are usually other science courses, usually some genetics and microbiology that Medical Schools look for. Upon completeing the required college classes you must take a standardized test called the MCAT, which is an admission test for Medical Schools that tests on the courses listed above. It is much like the SAT is for college and university admission.\n\nMost medical schools accept about 24-28ish MCAT scores and a 3.5 GPA from the collgee level work. In addition, they look for people that genuinely care for their community and show it with volunteer activities and dedication. Getting into Med School alone is very tricky.\n\nOnce in Medical School, you complete 2 years of book learning, and then do rotations with doctors in a hospital in many different medical areas. While you may be sure that you want to go into pediatrics, you must complete these rounds with satisfactory grades from the Doctors to proceed to your Internship. In your internship, you will begin to specialize within your field of medicine. If you did not recieve good enough grades from the pediatrician you rounded with, you will not be allowed to go into that field of medicine. You are an Intern for about a year, and then you are a resident for a number of years following that, until you have learned enough to be on your own.\n\nIt's a long path, but if you are determined and focused enough, it's very rewarding. Best of Luck!

Go to UCD. do NOT major in biology. Instead, take an easy major and focus your energy on pre-med pre-req classes. That is the best strategy for med school. About 11% of Davis Med matriculants were UCD undergrads, so you have to work hard for it.\n\nI have **MANY** friends who are Indian physicians. They cannot get licensed to practice in America because they need to redo their residencies, take the Boards and so forth. It is a hassle because American medical programs consider these students low-priority. \n\nSo how do I know them? Because they all switched to public health and I met them during graduate school.

You'll need to pass boards & be licensed in a specific state. And of course you'll need to have a work visa or perm residency. I'd recommend you search the American Pharmacist Association, & US immigration for details.

unless you want to go somewhere out of the US (e.g. a country like australia or the UK where medicine is an undergraduate-entry program), you go to college and do really well. i mean REALLY well. and well enough that you forget about medicine entirely and just kick some academic butt. and abandon all hope of getting in until it actually seems possible. (as for classes to take, i would recommend swallowing all the organic chem you can get ahold of... major in something hard core like biochemistry or neuroscience, but not biology--everyone does that.) however, if you go outside the US, check your scores--if you've got really amazing numbers, you can enter a 6 year undergrad program in australia.
