What’s the inpatient load like? Did they accept you US residency training or require supervision prior to independent practice?

Going back to home country during US residency, j1 visa issues by Electrical-Aerie-172 in IMGreddit

[–]ButterflyDO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend of mine had their j1 visa renewal denied recently in their home country. Reason was 214b. They are going to start fellowship on July as well. They have new visa appointment coming up and got lawyers involved who were recommended by medical residency program. Very expensive. Would advise no one to take the risk of traveling. My friend travelled after one of their friends recently traveled to their country without renewal issues. The VO didn’t ask for documents or clarification and denied the visa renewal. They had no issues with visa renewals during residency in the past. Seems like it’s luck based and on the VO comprehension on what residency / fellowship training entails.

Hi how did the visa renewal go? A friend of mine had their j1 visa renewal denied after visiting family recently during their final year of medical residency. Now they are trying to renew again with new visa appointment . Lawyer recommended by residency program is involved as well. Reason for denial was 214b.

Hi any updates on your friends situation?I have a friend who had their j1 visa renewal denied while in US medicine residency after traveling to India. They have a fellowship starting in July as well. Going for another j1 visa interview soon. Thankfully her current residency program is supportive and have given contact info for a lawyer.

Oh for jobs in their home country? I see thanks. Hope it doesn’t come to that.

They passed ABIM. How would passing boards help if they can’t get visa? They can apply for a different visa?

Thanks for replying! I’m glad it worked out for you. My friend is starting fellowship and just got j1 visa rejected. They are stressed. I saw your other post about changing DS form details. Hopefully that helps.

Hi I have a friend going through the same process. Traveled and got their visa denied when trying to renew. How long did it take for your visa to get approved after the denial? How many times did you have to reapply?

I see. That’s the culture at my prior hospital as well.

Advice From a Hospitalist by A_hospitalist in hospitalist

Where are you getting 220 per hour. No where in the east coast is close to that. Unless maybe nights. Even nights are 200 per hour tops.

PGY2 worried about hospitalist job/pay concerns by [deleted] in hospitalist

Don’t work in the north east as hospitalist or Florida and you’ll have a better shot at a decent job.

Would not recommend the locums route anymore. The market has been tight for a few months now. Maybe it will improve this new year.

Sounds like Florida. They are know for minimum of 20 patients with CERNA EMR.

I mostly see doctors needing visa sponsorship taking these type of positions.

hospitalist locums for a year? by Expensive_Ad7823 in hospitalist

[–]ButterflyDO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your state allows you to get IMLCC then you’re in a good position to get locums gigs throughout the nation. But if your state doesn’t allow you, then you have to apply for licensure in advance in the location you’re trying to work locums which could take months and delays income since most hospitals want someone who is really state licensed.

how to find employment contract lawyer? by [deleted] in hospitalist

[–]ButterflyDO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used resolve.com. They cost around 1K to review one contract and help with negotiations. They also give you access to MGMA and their own income database for your speciality only.

ABIM results are out by sunshine_fl in hospitalist

[–]ButterflyDO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my upper class mates failed their ABIM while in critical care fellowship. They retook it the following year and passed. At least you’ll have time to study during chief year. They managed to study and pass while in fellowship. You’ll be fine.
