I'm a 29 year old. I'm from Pakistan. I did my under graduation in computer science. When I was in high school, computing was like everything to me but now I don't wanna spend rest of my life in cubicle programming and debugging. My GPA was great through out my college period (3.78 GPA, with no science background). Now becoming a doctor seems really fascinating to me. I like serving people and helping them to get rid of their problem. Now I've decided that I'll go to US and will study medicine and become a doctor in America.
What are the requirements for me? Do I have to go to american college to pursue my 4 year premedical program and then 4 years in medical school? Do american medical schools accept applications of foreigners? (Hopefully) if I get admission in med school and graduate, would I be able to practice medicine in USA?
