In most states a felony conviction is not an absolute bar to practicing law.

In many states (e.g.:Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas, etc) a felony conviction prevents a person from being admitted to the Bar and thus they would be unable to practice law in those states.

No.

BTW, there's no such thing as an "ex" felon. They're just felons.

Actually, you can be an ex-felon. If the record is expunged, or dropped to a misdemeanor, you formerly had a felony; however, currently, you do not.

In the States it is not possible.Medical students Doctors and nurses ect... have to do what is known as clinicals.Clinicals is working with living patients, Hands on if you will.Here is the problem ,Hospitals and other medical facilities will not allow felons to treat their patients.In some states its law as well as federal statutes that apply.No one will risk a ex-con to work with their patients.The risk is simply too high for med. facilities.
