i 'm a legal resident in usa , i 've finished my medical school degree outside usa , and got ECFMG certification to enroll in medical residency program in usa , but i didnt get any chance to a position in the matching system of the residency for 3 consecutive years and i see there is a preference for the medical graduate of american universities , so my question is what are my chances to study medicine again in usa? and do i need to study pre-med courses again ? will be grateful for any help

If you haven't obtained a residency in three years I would have to surmise that your USMLE scores were not competitive. Since the only assessment of skills and knowledge that a foreign trained student can offer are the USMLE scores, the scores need to reflect a level of competency expected on a US trained student. You have options. You can repeat the USMLE exams, but I wouldn't advise trying that until you've taken preparatory courses, such as Kaplan's or the Princeton Review, anad successfully obtained high scores in the practice exams. If your USMLE Step One was low, you could consider attending a Caribbean school to retake the Basic Sciences. If your Step 2 exams were low, you could probably join a Caribbean schools' Clinical Rotation. You last alternative is to repeat medical school in its entirety--but you have to attend a US undergrad university for at least a year and meet all of the US school eligibility requirements.
