If you don't have a work visa then you can't get anything like a medical assistant position or research. You can get the kind of jobs that unfortunately illegal immigrants have to do. You can check with Kaplan if you can do any of their courses with your visa (Kaplan might be able to change your visa, although I'm not sure about it) or some other school and do a course like medical billing or a med technichian course and then get a job. But that would be a waste of time. Do your exams and then look for other things.
