Also, you need an "invitation" from an American hospital, but this is difficult to arrange as it requires them to process a lot of paperwork and apply for a visa, which is time-consuming. Your other alternative is to get a research position. This is much easier, especially if you have skills that can be used in a laboratory, but it still takes a while for your visa application to process. In other words, this takes organizing and should not be a short-term plan. Dear Marie,

How hard is it getting jobs there? Will I Have to take the big exam, if it is only for 3 or 6 month my stay will last? I heard that all I need is a invitation fra a american hospital (in N.Y)? Hope you can help me. Best regards, Marie. Hi,
