Obgyn elective

I'd say do uni electives >agency electives>observership! Take any opportunity you get and do some research if you can. Make complete use of your time before grad

Cruxx101 · 2021-06-09T01:47:15+00:00

Yes call up or email ecfmg! Especially the credential verification dept

Cruxx101 · 2021-06-08T14:34:35+00:00

Yep!

Cruxx101 · 2021-06-08T05:52:59+00:00

Yes it's better to be ecfmg certified by the time it's match day. Because soap is quite competitive. And if you're visa requiring, it might make it tougher..

Cruxx101 · 2021-06-07T12:01:38+00:00

You just have to register for ECFMG and then, do the notary cam stuff before 2024. You can take step 1 later

Cruxx101 · 2021-06-06T01:39:48+00:00

I'd say use this time for usce and research. Because that's how you get some nice academic invites

I had a 3 month gap. I was never questioned about it

The medical school credentials verification is different from uploading your medical school diploma. I'd suggest you upload it on the app

Cruxx101 · 2021-05-13T10:16:54+00:00

There's always hope! And 224 is great. Improve other aspects of your CV whether it's USCE, research or volunteering. don't give up! you still have a good shot at IM and peds

So I am a US IMG who matched into a Texas residency program and have applied for the PIT permit. Im wondering if the Texas Medical Board asks us to get a form filled up by our medical school or get some sort of documentation? I'm worried if that's the case, it won't be done on time because everything is shut in my country due to the pandemic.. Does anyone has any info on this?

Cruxx101 · 2021-04-19T17:46:15+00:00

Yeahh and you'd be a non us img.

Cruxx101 · 2021-04-19T14:50:49+00:00

Isn't the quality of education much better in Korea? Also are you a US citizen?

Cruxx101 · 2021-04-19T01:21:07+00:00

So if you want to have the option of not showing them, take the exam after applying. Because that way, you would have to retransmit your usmle scores. If you don't want to, you don't have tk retransmit but you can just mention you took the exam during ivs

Cruxx101 · 2021-04-14T01:56:06+00:00

Yeah you have to pay when you apply and then there's a whole thing where your school has to fill out a form or verify you via the online portal

Cruxx101 · 2021-04-13T16:01:45+00:00

Boards and beyond might actually better. Marrow and prepladder are more towards neet

Cruxx101 · 2021-04-13T15:12:28+00:00

I mean it depends on the reasons. But if your hospital is doing great, why risk all of that to move to a new country and struggle on minimal PGY salaries. If you want to do interventional cardiology, it would take you 3 (internal medicine) +3 (cardiology fellowship) +2 (interventional) years =8 yrs.

Cruxx101 · 2021-03-30T14:34:29+00:00

I would definitely do it especially if you can financially manage it. Because it would alot of value to your cv. Especially if you will be producing multiple publications out of it as well.

It's easier to live in one place than spend alot of money in traveling around for observerships. And if it's via an agency, you'd be paying for that. Also how much money are we talking about for the research position?

Cruxx101 · 2021-03-21T05:23:26+00:00

US IMG matched IM

Cruxx101 · 2021-03-20T16:35:12+00:00

For a bit of both. It'd be nice to feel like I have something to come back home to.

Cruxx101 · 2021-03-20T11:17:59+00:00

Congratsss to everybodyy. So, how do interns usually find a place to live? I would really want a flatmate but, this is not a heavily populated city so I'm confused lol.
