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.
