I think the big question is what are you trying to actually accomplish for a career and what coming the US does for you.

Without an MBBS or it’s equivalent, you can’t start a residency program. If you’re hoping to go to a US medical school to earn an MD, then there are going to be issues with you having the appropriate pre-requisite courses, so you’re essentially going to have take probably a year or two to complete a post-bac program, take the MCAT, and then apply to medical schools. That path seems to me like you’re wasting your time in Belgium.

I guess what it all comes down to is what your career goals are.
