I would recommend you join Kaplan and get their notes and go for the live lectures.

To do residency, you will have to get ECFMG certified. www.ecfmg.org is a good place to start. You need to pass USMLE step 1 and 2, the CSA (clinical skills assessment) which is given in the US, and the TOEFL. Then you can get your certificate and apply for residency. G

TOEFL is no longer required. CSA is now Step 2 CS.

Req's Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 2 CS.

Is there any english test needed, or do they just skip that altogether.....

no english test needed. i guess they figure $1200 for the Step2 CS is enough to decide!
