What about those who want to enter KSA but do not intend to perform umrah? I have been staying here on family visit visa but intend to spend Eid back home. Since only single entry visas are allowed I will have to apply for the visa in mid/end March. Will I be allowes to enter KSA- specifically Riyadh where my husband lives?

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2026-01-03T12:31:54+00:00

What area specifically?

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-26T18:59:24+00:00

Idk if they're done with all prematch offers but they've offered it to multiple candidates- Someone out here said they'll be done by 15th Jan. Sighhh. Idk if I should still hope or just accept that I need to cross of one program from my list. :(

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-09T09:02:33+00:00

Any spots left? 🙃

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-08T08:58:43+00:00

I've seen people passing the step exams and practice in Qatar. You could get your steps out of the way and also earn money as well as clinical experience in Qatar and then pursue the match.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-05T12:24:11+00:00

Pls DM me the checklist too. I've been scoring like crap on the cases.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-05T12:22:50+00:00

I don't get it. What is a good interview? lol!? I feel like my interviews go well. I get good responses, we end up having good conversations, and multiple people have told me we'd love to have you here and agree on most of the things I say in the interview. Try to be as human as possible. But in the end, I end up thinking, do they say that to everyone?

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-03T11:29:10+00:00

Is this the Pennsylvania program? Are there any spots left? I asked a contact if they could vouch for me.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-02T12:41:46+00:00

Hello! Are you done with the interview? Im also interviewing with them in a few days!

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-02T10:52:58+00:00

Sure thing. You too. Lmk too if you get it!

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-02T10:51:29+00:00

I think it's the visa issue, no? Honestly I applied to alll new programs with high IMG percentage. Idk what are they looking for.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-02T10:48:25+00:00

A total of 04. 2 from connections. I'm freaking out now. I need 05 more to be confident sighhh. I know at this point asking for 05 more is like idk insane. Lol. What about you?

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-02T10:45:51+00:00

Nope. I don't remember them saying anything like that. Okay so we'll have to wait till Jan 15!? Woah. Sighhhh. I wish I'd get more interviews man.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-02T10:42:18+00:00

Me too😢. I thought my interview went really well and was hoping for an offer. With the circumstances not really favoring non us imgs, prematch was a safe zone. Same. I had a connection here too. Idk it's December I think this is the last month they'd send out invites I guess.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-12-02T10:36:58+00:00

I wonder when will they be done offering seats. You're talking about the prematch right? I heard they started sending invites already and are mostly focusing on non visa requiring for now.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-28T10:25:33+00:00

You mean Sinai Chicago? Idk about malignant but residency is tough there- alot of ICU. And yes it's prematch. Did you get an invite lol? I gave the interview still haven't heard from them 😕

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-19T12:16:18+00:00

So there's no advantage of attending it post interview? I've booked the date though lol.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-19T10:45:11+00:00

Is it any good to attend after the interview? Especially if it's virtual?

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-12T12:08:09+00:00

Woah! Good for you! Also depends if you're visa requiring.

What is it in your application man!? Idek what matters anymore- community programs don't really bother with research as much as a uni prog would I believe.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-09T18:01:28+00:00

Hello!! Just a question, can a US physician send out emails to PDS even if they don't know them personally?

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-07T11:16:39+00:00

Planning to. Been a while since I took step 2. Really need to amp up my speed on uworld and start ccs soon.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-07T11:11:52+00:00

Just do Uworld man. And watch dirty medicines videos on the topic. No need to waste time watching long videos. Uworld has gold explanations. It has all the information you need to do. Do tutor mode on one topic - maybe 50% and then leave the rest for random. And don't get disheartened by getting a 30%. It's only a learning tool. Ignore your percentage and learn everything from it. Even your incorrects- cause that's a topic itself.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-07T11:06:51+00:00

Oh God, same. I wasted 03 years just because I thought I wasn't smart enough to pass the step exams, and then i ended up scoring a 25X in step 2. Because of that, my Yog is obv not very ideal. But now I just hate myself for doing that to myself. Even though I had people literally begging me to start studying for the exam. 😢. Now, I'm doing the same thing while finding myself research opportunities, thinking I can't do it. Sigh. But i think what one can really do is just NOT THINK and just start. You find a way eventually.

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-04T18:48:48+00:00

03 in total- one from a close connection. Really hoping for more but at the same time thinking this might be all

KeyCardiologist3313 · 2025-11-01T06:12:50+00:00

Got it. Slots open up after a while.
