Here's a good post with info about residency training in France. IIRC, you cannot practice there if you are not an EU citizen (post-residency). You can do a residency though.

if you manage to do yopur residency in france you ll be more than welcon to stay end practice in france.
France has a huge lack of doctors. you don t have to be an eu citizen. Still you have to retake the first yar of med school and then take the ECN and rank high enough to be able to choose your residency
Good luck
But you if you want you cann come and work as a FFI faisant fonction d'in terne you do the work of resident but you don t get the license but it could be a start .
good luck

Well, if working as an MD in france didn't work out, are there any alternative ways to use the MD degree?

How do you go about working as an FFI? Is it the same process?
