Hello! I am a board-certified family medicine doctor from outside of the US. For the past six years, I have been working in a microbiology lab in the US (postdoc, project scientist with MD PhD degrees), which means I have not been practicing medicine during this time. Although I do not plan on applying for a residency to practice medicine again, I am interested in finding a faculty position in the medical microbiology department at a US medical school. I am wondering if passing USMLE 1, 2, and 3 (ECFMG certification) would still be worth pursuing and helpful in achieving this goal. TIA!
