Research Abroad as an IMG?

Hi there - first time posting here, I'll try to cut the crap: I'm a foreign medical student, MENA region, with plans to complete my residency in the US. Currently the equivalent of an M2 and am yet to take the USMLE. My predicament is regarding research - I have a decent amount under my belt, did research last summer (immunology lab, work on cancer) and will soon be submitting my abstract to a conference. Currently involved with something else but it's just a public health project - survey... Research Abroad as an IMG?
