You will need to pass the USMLE exams (US Medical Licensing Examination) before you can be authorized to practice medicine in the USA. This is a lengthy process that also includes approving the university from which you obtained your medical degree. Please check the AMA (American Medical Association) website for more information.

Not sure why everybody is being rude to you. I havn't looked up your other questions but nothing you said deserved how you've been treated by the answers I read.  Anyway to be a Doc in the US you have to ... \n\nFirst keep your record spotless. No memberships in political or crimanal orgizations. No reference to drugs at all. Stay away from anything contraversial. Do not join anything that is ethnic or political in nature. You might get away with membership in a political parties org but thats taking an unnecessary risk. Not matter how innocent it might seem to you it is possibly contraversial and could hurt you in interviews. Join all the clubs you want after you become a Doc. \n\nGenerally pharmacists do extremely well in Med school. I would recomend this route to anybody who is not brilliant in school. It means taking longer to become a Doc but it will be a huge help down the road. Both in deciding if you really want to become a Doc and in getting to that goal. \n\nGet into a decent college. It helps if your major is Pre-med or biology. Chemistry is not a bad major either. There is no requirement so technically you can major in Phys Ed and still be eligible. What you major in WILL affect your interviews. So it is important to either have a major that will help you in Med school or be very good in interviewing to get around the damage done by a major not associated with medical students. Every year hundreds or thousands make it into med school with majors like Law, English lit, etc. You may want to do this to bulk up your grades if you are extremely well suited to another major. \n\nAfter doing very well through your bachelors. Just gettting yoru degree will not be enough. You do not have to be a strait A student either. The better your grades the easier it will be to be accepted into medical school. Involvement in certain organizations can help as well. Anything medical, intellectual or that strikes a chord with the interviewer is good. Avoid anything contraversial. If if the interviewer agrees with you politically Doctors are supposed to be objective. \n\nStart studying for your MCATs as a freshman in college. If you do not make at least a certain score on them and these are very difficult exams you are not going to get into Med school in the US. The better you do the easier it will be to be accepted. If you are female, a minority or have a special story you can make it with respectable MCAT scores possibly.  Depends on how many of your exception are appying that given year and what their scores are like. There is a program or at least was several years ago that allowed certain minorities to get extra help and acceptance of minorities with less than minium scores. The program gave them extra time on tests, sliding scales on exam scores and other help to promote diversity among doctors. Still nobody glides through Med school. Do poorly on the MCATs and you will not get accepted anywhere for any reason. \n\nStart preparing for your inverviews in your jr year at the latest. Research medical schools. Find ones that you like and will you think accept you. Find out what their min MCAT score is for acceptance. Something you won't find listed anywhere. It's something you'll have to dig out of people. By your senior year of college your already applying at schools. You are unlikly to get inverviewed until you've taken your MCATs so take them early. The more time you have to interview the better. You are unlikly to get picked first interview. Build a field of ten schools. 3 of your favorites but also at least 2 schools of last resort in case you do not do as well on the MCATs as you thought you might. \n\nOnce you've taken your MCATs you know your fate possibly. If you did acceptable on them you have a chance at getting into medical school. \n\nYou should have several interviews lined up. At least 5 bare minium. Realistically if you can afford the travel try to get at least 10. Dress well. Rehearse the in

I thought there was a process for application similar to the one the US has. There are many Canadian doctors working in the US.

Well Sweetie, you shouldn't have any trouble. I am assuming the fellowship is like residency? Just keep trying. Try the bigger cities here in USA first. You know, like New York City, Houston (we have some of the world's best Doctors here in Houston), Los Angeles. Don't lose heart, someone will accept you. The US is a big country and I'm sure you'll find something here. I don't want to insult your intelligence but are you sure you have enough educational credits to satisfy the requirements in foreign countries? Sometimes, other countries training requirements are not as stringent as ours. You just keep trying and don't be discouraged. We can always use another fine Doctor such as yourself in America. If you have more questions then you can email me and I'll try to find the answers for you. Good luck and God speed, my friend.

Get in touch with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy:\nhttp://www.nabp.net/index.asp?target=/lictransfer/intro.asp&\n\nThey can tell you if you are eligible for licensure.\n\nIf not, one possibility is to see if you can transfer your license to a country or provence that is recognized by the United States.  Don't know if Puerto Rico would work.\n\nIf none of these work you would probably have to go through the pharmacy program here.\n\nIf you have to go through the pharmacy program here, check and see if the pharmacy school will accept some courses towards the basics. If they won't, check and see if a school such as Excelsior will recognize your credits.\nhttps://www.excelsior.edu/portal/page?_pageid=57,1&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL\n\nIt all depends on how badly you want to practice pharmacy in this country.  Wish you luck

Judging by your spelling I'm going to assume you're not in the U.S.   If not, you'll need to check with whatever regulatory agency governs the practice of medicine in your country.  Educational requirements will vary widely.  \n\nIn the U.S., there's no nationwide regulation.  Most people who get really serious about practicing join something like the American Herbalist Guild (or their state's Guild).  But herbalism is something not addressed by many states so herbalists work in a sort of gray area, legally speaking.

My understanding is that you may have to write some exams that validates you to practice in Canada. However, with the doctor shortage in Canada, I'm sure that they would lead you down the path of success.\n\nThis link maybe a good start.

In order to come to the USA for employment as a health care worker, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services require:\n\n"Any non-U.S. citizen coming to the United States for employment as a health care worker (other than a physician) cannot be admitted unless he or she presents a certificate from either the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or a certificate of equal standing from an organization with equivalent credentials. These requirements apply to both immigrant and nonimmigrant applicants."\n\nIn addition, licensing requirements vary from state to state, so you would have to specify in which state you intend to work, to receive a complete answer to your question.

Before starting the process of becoming a physician (or any profession) you must do some honest soul searching. First of all you must be aware of the time commitment involved in becoming a physician. Medicine is a career that requires many years of preparation. Generally most people graduate college at age 22 and medical school at 26. Then after 3 years of internship and residency, many physicians begin their career at age 29. However, the training for some specialties can last until the physician's early to mid 30's. Obviously this can delay plans for marriage and starting a family. Some people begin their medical education after pursuing other careers, which can further delay the completion of their medical training. You must decide early on if you are willing to dedicate the time it takes to become a physician. As you can see, this is not a decision to be made lightly.
