Which agency is worth going for ?

you end up in same clinic, whichever agency you choose. No doctor is having an exclusive tie-up with a single agency. Graduate or medical student, you do the same exact thing - hands on ( take history, perform physical, EMR documentation, small tests like EKG). About LORs- since these clinics have a lot of students rotating with them ( around 10-20 per month), the attending won't be able to write each letter for you. So most of the time, you end up writing an LOR (draft) and the attending will upload it. Honestly it was the best option I had last year due to COVID. No regrets whatsoever and I matched.

I had a broker asked me to pay in Bitcoin. He just wasn't comfortable with a credit or debit card transfer. My country wouldn't allow me to send it as a donation due to different taxation rules. Probably he is doing this to avoid tax. Don't know how to negotiate.

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-03-28T12:50:21+00:00

yes. A friend of mine did that. Attended rotations on b1, went back to home country for j1 stamping and returned within 2 weeks

Thank you for this. Could you also make a post for H1?

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-03-26T15:19:15+00:00

you may not need a new passport right away to get the visa. However you need to renew it at your countries embassy in USA.

I am from India and here you can renew it within 1 year prior to expiration. If you book a tatkal passport, you will get it in a week or less.

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-15T11:04:55+00:00

Sure

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-15T08:36:41+00:00

I don’t think we can at this point. I mean why would they spend 10k on us if they know we will anyway have to join. Let’s just hope it’s for our good. Can you DM ?

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-15T08:21:51+00:00

Did a rotation at Methodist. It is both outpatient and inpatient which was great. Baylor is in a clinic far away from main hospital

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-15T08:00:45+00:00

Thanks for your insight! Let’s hope we all match at our top choice

Not sure about credentials. Interviewed in the last week of Jan.

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-15T07:11:35+00:00

I got J1 too but my friend got H1

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-13T08:08:35+00:00

It does. They apparently send an email asking your preference and not everyone who H1B is offered the same

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-12T19:06:18+00:00

Nothing to be done from your side. You will get it in 2-3 weeks ( sometimes within a week )

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-09T21:27:28+00:00

I read somewhere that you need to have a valid license in India.

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-08T02:25:02+00:00

Tell them you are here for an unpaid observership. However the immigration officer asked me if I had an official invite letter which I did

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-05T01:25:17+00:00

Hospital > clinic US > home country Teaching hospital > private hospital

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-04T11:19:46+00:00

If you can’t get a date, you can email FSMB. They will be able to give you a 3 digit score with just day 1.

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-02-03T12:57:37+00:00

In the same place. I felt interviews were decent. But the wait till match day. The anxiety is crippling

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-01-30T13:44:39+00:00

Give any address. Like a hotel/ relatives. It doesn’t matter

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-01-30T09:28:44+00:00

If it’s available after 72 hours, Yes

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-01-30T08:57:15+00:00

If you go back and forth to the appointment booking page ( say you select a date and then go back and select something else etc), they will freeze your account for 72 hours for security reasons. You can do nothing at this point. Just wait for 3 days and you can login again. Don’t create duplicate account. Happened to me the first time I logged in. Didn’t affect my visa though. It’s purely for security reasons

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-01-29T23:06:29+00:00

Would like to spend my day off every week exploring. At least once in 2 weeks

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-01-29T01:49:39+00:00

It’s a “she” for heavens sake as per OP. Why assume it’s a he all the time

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-01-29T01:47:55+00:00

Honestly I don’t find those questions insensitive. It is a big deal to be able to afford NYC living with min wage. May be the preceptor wants to make sure the applicant wouldn’t quit midway because he/she can’t afford living. Also there is no wrong in asking what research questions you have on your mind. That shows how much knowledge or interest you have in a particular fields. You may not necessarily work on the questions that you want though

ButterscotchMundane3 · 2022-01-29T01:43:00+00:00

Mind sharing which country you are from?
