In order to practice, you must secure a residency. For some physicians (especially from out-of-country) this may take some perseverance and time. However, it has been my experience that many at the college I work for will pursue a short-time degree in a related field such as Nuclear Medicine, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Respiratory Therapy etc. Yes, it may take a little time but it's better than being away from your chosen field.
