If your planning on living in the US then do it all here. Because if its cheaper to do it in India and you do it there and then want to come to the US then you will just have to take classes here to be able to become a doctor.
But if you looking at moving back to India then go back there and do go to school there since you will be living there.
So it just depends on where you are going to want to live, where ever it is then, do your schooling there as it will be easier for you in the long run.
American medical training won't except your training in India as complete so that you will need further training here, if you go to school there and then come back and want to be a doctor here. You will be required to take more classes, to further you education here.
I use to work with people who were doctors in there country, but could not be doctors here with out further training. They ended up being PA's here, and were going back to school here to get the required training they needed to be doctors here.
These people were working at the Federal Prison as Physician assistants here, while going to school. It was hard for them having to do both.

No, dont give up your ambition. This country will always need doctors, policemen, lawyers, because there will always be people falling ill, people commiting crime, etc, etc. It will be a lot of hard work, but im sure that you are well prepared for this. It takes a lot of commitment and determination. If this is your chosen vocation, then go for it! You could work in the hospital, maybe you can be a cardiologist or even a surgeon if you want to be.

I know at LEAST 3 cardiologists who got their MDs in India and did residency here in the USA, as well as the fellowship. It's perfectly acceptable. I WOULD advise you to come back to the US for residency/fellowship so you can work here--you might have a problem if you do EVERYTHING in India.
Going to school in the USA has it's advantages--name recognition when you apply for a residency, etc.
It really doesn't matter; you will ALWAYS have a job as a MD--regardless of if you choose to get your MD here or in India. Doctors are extremely high in demand, no matter where they are from.

Overseas Med School education is not considered as complete as a US Med School Education. You will have to add 2 years to the process once you get to the states, sometimes more.

Do it all in the US. It is because it is much faster in India that makes it less desirable for doctors from India in the states. I know doctors from India who wish they would have completed their educations in the states. It is hard for them to get rights in the hospitals in the states because of this.
