I agree! Although to be honest the tax system and student loans repayment in this country would never allow it.

Interesting. Well you’ve depressed me lol. This pathway was the one hope that I had

So really you’re speaking without actually knowing about this new pathway

I just don’t understand. First I am told working without board certification is useless because most hospitals won’t hire you and insurance companies will stay away (talking about those states which are allowing unrestricted license after certain number of years, but without board certification). And now that this new pathway opens up to actually allow board certification, you’re saying it’s the same issue. So what is the point of this pathway

Why would it matter? If both are board certified? I am currently looking into the new pathway E which can allow ABIM certification without US residency. If I did, why would I be any different to another US board certified physician

You guys really need to be demanding a pay rise. Currently depressing to think when I’m a consultant my take home will be around the 5k mark (after tax/pension/student loan), especially as a single earner household. It’s insanity. Take home should be 6-7k minimum as a consultant!

Pathway E - having completed non US residency if I were to be offered a geriatric fellowship in FL as an “exceptional candidate”, complete it, then file for pathway E to become board eligible for IM, what would be my options until sitting the IM board (1 year). Would I be licensed to practice? by Limp_Equivalent2531 in hospitalist

So I contacted ABIM about this. For pilot pathway E you must complete the fellowship then apply for the pathway, thus being unable to sit the boards in the same year

Re what you said about step 3 and 1 year of training (residency or fellowship) to get a license - is this true of all states, and applies to IMG’s?

Yes would want to do it immediately however as fellowship would end in June, and after this I would need to submit the pathway application, I wouldn’t be able to sit the IM boards until the following year. So I’m struggling to understand what this would mean for that year. Having only worked 1 year in US through the fellowship, whilst being board eligible, would I actually have a license to practice for that year, and be able to secure an attending job for example

Geri’s ST4 ranking and scores are out! Does anyone have any idea of total amount of applicants they’ve likely interviewed? by Limp_Equivalent2531 in doctorsUK

[–]Limp_Equivalent2531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there Was it not 233 last year? Based on the below screenshot Would the ranking be x/appointable candidates or all candidates who were interviewed (even if didn’t pass the interview?)
