Experts,
Hope you all are doing well. 🙂
I am not sure here is a right place to ask my question or not. If not please refer me to the right spot.
I recently got my PhD in Veterinary Medicine overseas and immigrated to the US. I start searching to know that can I start working here in the US as junior/ assistant or not. But I could not find any good answer to my questions. I am totally confused now and need someone to help me out and show me the right way.
First I thought I need to get back to school here in the US and update my degree based on the US educational system. Since we are living in Houston, I contacted Texas A&M University and was told by admission department that since I got my degree from none US accredited university they cannot admit me in DVM program and I need to start from scratch. But as you all now, after almost 8 years it’s really hard to start from scratch and attend to Chemistry 101 again. 🙁
I came across this forum when I was browsing the web to find my answers and I feel I found the right place to find out more about my situation and the path I need to walk though. After all, here are my questions:

- Should I really need start from scratch?
- Does it help to start my career as junior/ assistant, if I take ECFVG exam here in the US?
- Any thoughts and ideas to make this process smoother?
- My PhD Degree is from overseas and not from US accredited University
- English is my second language and I never took any professional exam like TOEFL etc.
- I am US legal resident and living in Houston and do not need any student visa
- I already did some voluntary job at local pet clinic and gained some practical experience
