I was wondering if anyone know what should we do before we can apply to do our Masters in Medicine in the US. Any tests that we need to take? Any residencies that we need to finish first?

The only one I know is USMLE... But I don't actually know the exact pathway, could someone kindly describe it to me?

Erm, what exactly do you mean by Masters in Medicine? Are you referring to MD (the primary professional degree for medicine) or specialisation?

If it's the MD, I think you'll need to sit for the MCAT and obtain a degree before you can matriculalte. USMLE Step 1 is only taken when you're in medical school.

I'm refering to medical specialisation of course... :-)
