I don't think so. Check with your school, but most likely you won't be able too.

I don't know for sure, but i do know that medical school programs start at the undergraduate level in the UK. Students come straight out of high school and start studying medicine in the UK, whereas (as i'm sure you know) you complete a bachelors degree in the US b4 attending medical school. As you already have a degree im not sure if you can be accepted into a medical program in the UK. You may be able to get a master's or PhD in a medical field (such as public health) but i think it would be difficult to get into a program that trains you as a medical doctor.
