You need to give the TOEFL.\nSAT is required for UG students, but I guess that doesnt apply to you.

This question would take too long to answer, but a great resources I'd check out is www.valuemd.com, which has a forum for a lot of "offshore" medical schools.\n\nIf you've taken the MCAT, I'd recommend you look at Saba (www.saba.edu), St George's University, (www.sgu.edu).  If you haven't taken the MCAT, I'd give Medical University of the Americas (www.mua.edu) and Sint Eustatius (www.eustatiusmed.edu) a look.  Good luck.\n\nAlso, there are no Caribbean schools that are "accreditted" by the US, but there are a few that are "approved" by a few selective medical boards.  California's approved St George's U, Ross U, American U of the Caribbean, Saba University.  New York has approved all the above plus Medical University of the Americas and American University of Antigua.

You asked a lot of questions, so I'll try to answer them all:\n\nFirst, the MCAT is just a test required for entry into medical school... if you are already in medical school and are coming to the US for residency, you don't have to worry about it.\n\nThe USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) is required for medical licensure.  It is broken up into 3 steps.  Generally, US medical students take Step 1 (basic science knowledge) after their 2nd year of medical school, Step 2 (clinical knowledge & mostly diagnosis-focused) after their 3rd year of medical school, and Step 3 (clinical knowledge & mostly managment-focused) after their first year of residency.  Step 2 is broken into 2 sections- Clinical Knowledge (multiple choice on computer) and Clinical Skills (12 standardized patients in an office setting).\n\nIf you are going to be graduating from medical school in India, and then applying for residency here in the US, you will take both Step1 & Step2 before applying (you don't have to schedule them with any time between, although it would probably be helpful to keep a month between for studying).  You don't have to worry about Step 3 until you start residency.\n\nLike stated by the other answerer, go to usmle.org to apply.  All of the tests are very expensive, around $500 each, but the exact prices will be on that website.  The tests are conducted at Prometric Testing facilities, and there are so many of these that you won't have to travel far to get to one from any US location.  The Step 2 Clinical Skills, however, is only located in 5 cities in the US so you have to schedule this one a few months ahead of time to be assured you get the location & date you want.  Basically, for all of them, you apply at usmle.org and they mail you a scheduling permit after 2-4wks that you then use to schedule your test online.\n\nNow, about preparing- there are many Review books for preparation.  The most popular ones are "First Aid for the USMLE" and the "Step Up" series.  Kaplan is a very popular test preparation company and they offer an online question bank that most people subscribe to for a month or two for practice questions.  Find more information about that at www.kaplan.com .  Also, many foreign medical graduates take the 8 week Kaplan Review courses for the USMLE since they generally have to get a much higher score than US grads to get the same residency spots.  The courses are very expensive ($3,000-$5,000), but look on their website for all of that information.  You can usually get boot-leg copies of the videos of the lectures they give from e-bay for less than $100.\n\nBasically, there is a lot of information you are asking about and I think you would benefit from looking around different medical message boards such as www.prep4usmle.com or studentdoctor.net\n\nGood Luck!

This site, Dr. Bhatia Medical Coaching Institute - A Premium Medical Entrance Coaching Institute, looks like it might offer what you are looking for.  I also found this one site that has a syllabus of some of the entrance exams.  This might help.

Looks like you're some foreign medical graduate and your medical education system greatly differs from that of USA so you must choose a quick review course which is very easy to understand and not very time consuming. I'll strongly recommend you to check KaplanMedical.com for online education on Step 2 and USMLEWorld.com for a good bunch of QBank. The best book to start with is First Aid for USMLE Step 2 CK. You can find it on Amazon.com.\nHope it helps\nBest of luck

GRE is a exam for admission tests at masters level in universities for engineering etc. GMAT is for masters degrees in business programs, TOEFL is required by many schools in US from foreign students for their English competency. You have to contact a University here, send your educational records, the university will tell you what test to take for admission in their program. You take the test there in India, for location and fees find that out locally or the US university will help you too. Get an Indian passport from there. Apply at the US embassy there for Student visa. Take the I-20, the admission approval papers from US university to US Embassy there to apply for the student visa. To prepare for the TOEFL and other exams buy the books and tapes/Cd's etc. to prepare. Good luck

Hi, \n\nThat examination is to become a licenced doctor or md in United States.  We have USMLE STEP 1,2,3. \n\nYou can schedule it in your country.  Just call prometrics in your country and ask them, but first you have to apply for the USMLE online.  \n\nKaplan is a great resource to study, depends in how you learn. If you learn taking classes, then take a course with Kaplan or buy their videos. If you learn reading yourself, then buy the books. \nQ-Bank is a most!!\nFirst Aid is a most!!\nOther resources are: BRS, and High Yield of every classes.\n\nThe NBME offers a series of exams to practice. They have one for free and I think it has 150 questions. \n\nusmleforum.com have a lot of inside from students from other countries. \n\n\nWell I hope I can help you. Good luck with your exam. \n\nGB\n\nBye!

For the USA:\n\nFirst and foremost, you must work on your English.  You mean, "How can I get admitted to medical school in the U.S. or Europe?"\n\nU.S. programs require something called the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).  You need to score well on this test.\n\nAnother test is the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test).\n\nYou will also need to meet certain academic requirements, such as having sufficient biology, chemistry, physics, antatomy, phsyiology, etc entry coursework completed as an undergraduate student.\n\nYou will also need to demonstrate the economic ability to sustain yourself in the U.S..  This may include scholarships and loans, but these are unlikely because so many foreign students want this as well!  You will need to be an excellent student if you want a scholarship!\n\nThere may be independent scholarships that might be found at places like www.fastweb.com - BUT most scholarships will be directly through the school.  Ask the admissions officers.

Go to UCD. do NOT major in biology. Instead, take an easy major and focus your energy on pre-med pre-req classes. That is the best strategy for med school. About 11% of Davis Med matriculants were UCD undergrads, so you have to work hard for it.\n\nI have **MANY** friends who are Indian physicians. They cannot get licensed to practice in America because they need to redo their residencies, take the Boards and so forth. It is a hassle because American medical programs consider these students low-priority. \n\nSo how do I know them? Because they all switched to public health and I met them during graduate school.
