Answer is NO. Foreign medical graduates need board certification from US in order to practice medicine. They can however work in research.
 
correction

Board certification is desirable but not necessary to practice
What is absolutely necessary is a medical license. and this is not possible without completing all three steps of USMLE and at least a few years (varies from state to state) of residency training.

Of course a foreign medical graduate who has permanent resident status or is a citizen could get a research job (non clinical) or even work as a pharmaceutical representative , other related jobs, without a medical license.

Dear all,

I have worked in obstetrics and gynaecology for 5 years and passed part one MRCOG long back. only exam of part 2 is left. If I passed part 2 MRCOG and part one and part 2 of USMLE now , do I need to go for part 3 also. after passing part 2 usmle, what is chance of getting residency job for permanent residents?

If you already have worked OB and have passed MRCOG you atand a good chance of getting into a OBGYN residency in the US, especially since you do not have any visa problems.

However, note that after you pass Step 2 you need to pass the CSA(clinical skills assesment) before you can get ECFMG certification. Without ECFMG certrification you cannot apply for the NRMP match (almost all OB programs participate in the match exclusively)
