Hi, for those who didn't mat ch what other options are available ? I though of RN course , but it takes 3 long years ( including prerequisite ) and a lot of money. Any other options to work in the medical field?

If you don't want to put any more extra years and you want to stay "medical" there's not much out there you can do. Some options:

Lab tech
Drug rep
Medical writer/editor
Craigslist has some medical related jobs like receptionist

Research, if you have experience. Possibly get grants from your home country to work at a good institution in the US?

Would be tough to be an RN and working under other physicians when you are a physician yourself, just not licensed to work, constantly being reminded of your failure to match.
