Thank you for your helpful response! Would it be possible to own/run a clinic from a different country. For example, could I practice medicine in the U.S. (have a private office, make rounds at the hospital) and own a clinic in a rural village in South America (using South America because you have spanish in your post)

Most clinics in SA aren't "owned" by medical doctors in the US, but yes many medical doctors have a practice in the US and then have a long term commitment to a foreign country clinic/hospital (typically an underserved). Read about Dr. Paul Farmer for one of the most famous examples.
