If you want to practice Medicine in the US, you should have gone to a US med school.

Search for "FMG" and "IMG" in the forums. You'll find useful information related to your situation, both generally and for individual specialties.

You should give it a shot but as suggested above you are basically competing with other FMGs for whatever leftover spots in noncompetitive fields and undesirable geographic areas have trouble attracting US grads. You probably need to get some sort of US clinical experience here as well before anyplace can consider you.

If you are a US citizen you but were educated outside the US and are having trouble getting a residency this might help you:

This is a program for foreign medical graduates to receive a DO degree in lieu of their foreign medical degree, it can help. The outlook for IMGs is very poor right now, this could help you as the outlook is good for DOs.
