Hi there,
Firstly, your wife does not qualify for medical practice in Singapore as her primary medical qualification is not listed in the government's listing of approved medical schools.
However, if she possesses at least 3-5 years post-housemanship (post MD experience/residency) experience, she could apply as a Medical Officer (Resident).
You mentioned she is pursuing her USMLE exams? - Does she have any UK certifications such as MRCP? MRCPCH? What's her speciality? Does she have any SPECIALITY certification from her home country?
You could email to National Healthcare Group Medical HR as a Medical Officer (Non-Traditional Source). Medical Officers (NTS) are foreign doctors who possess basic medical degree awarded by an overseas medical school not listed in the Schedule of the Medical Registration Act (MRA) of Singapore. They are employed on a 2 years contract, subject to the successful medical registration with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC). The contract may be renewed upon expiry, subject to their work performance and manpower needs of the Company.

If she is keen on Paediatrics, SingHealth's KK Women's & Children's Hospital offers a Training Fellowship for foreign physicians and at the end of the training, she will be entitled to a certificate of completion of training.
Alternatively, if she does not qualify for practice, she could work as a Research Fellow @ Faculty of Medicine at NUS - look through
www.med.nus.edu.sg for the various faculty pages and apply through there.
Good luck.
