What steps must I follow to become a doctor in the USA after 10+2 in India?
→The USA has no separate MBBS. You typically complete a four-year pre-medical bachelor's degree, take the MCAT, apply to MD programs, finish the four-year MD, then clear the USMLE exams. Your credentials are verified by ECFMG before a residency application. Check official pages for current rules.
