Hi,
I've completed my MBBS from India, now I'm considering pursuing further career in the US.
An MBBS is equivalent to MedSchool in the US, and Usually Indian IMGs write the USMLE Steps and apply for residencies.
However , I could not find any non-clinical residencies (genetics, pharmacology, physiology, microbiology,.. ). More than clinical practice I'm interested in research options.
Is there a possibility for IMGs to enter research positions in the US? If so, how do i go about it? \
Or are there residencies for those non-clinical fields?
PS: In India we have post-graduation for MedStudents-only in those non-clinical fields, and those Med School classes are taught by doctors who have done the relevant non-clinical post-graduation. Who teaches those classes in US Med Schools?
