Hello Prateek,

If you wish to continue your career as a doctor in United State, then you either appear for United State Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), which is same as Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) in India. USMLE is conducted for providing license to the doctors to practice in USA. This exam is divided into three steps: Step 1, Step 2 (CK and CS) and Step 3.

Besides this, you can also opt to pursue your Masters in Medicine in USA and grab a job opportunity. However, it is also mandatory that aspirants should have completed NEET PG exam from India, without which no admissions will be granted.

Hope this will help you.

All the best.

In USA, an Indian student after completion of MBBS cannot practice directly since the basic level of study to practice is postgraduate medicine in USA. USMLE has clearly defined the medical courses after MBBS to be completed in USA. In order to qualify for the Residency (Board certified PG while working in a Hospital under work permit) after MBBS the above exams needs to be cleared. the Indian doctors have to pass the above exams exam with high marks (230+).  During this period, the students can give USMLE-2 CK exam in India  to qualify for the Residency in USA. The doctors can then apply for work visa in USA once they get the residency confirmation.

The USMLE step 1 preparation can be done from the 2nd year of MBBS in India. MOKSH provide USMLE step 1 online course supporting the USMLE step 1 prep earlier. Indian doctors are eligible to appear for USMLE step 1 after 2nd year of MBBS in India. The USMLE step 1 preparation courses provided are from Beckers and Kaplan. It also has live classes conducted by the US based experienced doctors. The USMLE step 1 books are given to every student to ensure thorough preparation.

Similarly,  USMLE online course are also provided for USMLE 2 CK.

The cost for this entire route is around US$ 30,000 (with 6 months of Clinical Rotation / Clerkship) and can be to the tune of only US$ 20,000 if you can crack USMLE-2CK / CS after only 3 months of Clinical rotation. The cost does not include MOKSH charges, Travel charges and living costs in USA and Caribbean Islands which would work out to the tune of additional Rs. 10 Lacs (approx.).
