Your MBBS degree will not be accepted by US Hospitals, so you have to get your MBBS degree certified by going thorough Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) http://www.ecfmg.org/cert/certfact.html once you do that then you can apply for residency in any US hospital.

The above certification is only for US citizens if you are not a US citizen then you must get certified by United States Medical Licensing Examination http://www.usmle.org/default.asp

There is a high demand for physicians in the USA, if you successfully complete your residency after the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) then you can easily find a job at any US hospital.

Yes, USA does not recognize the MBBS degree. Although most of the engineering degrees are honored by employers in the USA.

Yes, if you get your medical degree outside USA, then you have to go through the same process.
