hello aspirant

no, there is no simple way to become a Doctor in the USA.  It takes minimum 11 years to become a doctor in USA. following are the steps:

  • 4 Years - Pre-Med School
  • Take MCAT (like GRE)
  • 4 Years in Medical School
    • Pass USMLE Step 1 after 2 years.
    • Complete 4 years
  • Complete USMLE Step 2 (total 8 years)
  • Complete Residency Program (minimum 3 years based on specialization)
  • Take State Board exam to practice.
  • Fellowship for additional specialty (another 2 years)

if you have done mbbs in india then you can follow these 2 options:

  1. Complete USMLE 1 and USMLE 2 from India and come to USA to complete USMLE 3, Residency
  2. Apply for Masters programs like Public Health, Biology, get student visa and come to USA.

In order to study and practice medicine in USA, Indian Doctors have to complete Residency in USA and get state license.

hope this helps.
