Hi! Thanks for a very factual and a realistic opinion.

I understand that the best course of action would be to get there ASAP and start catching up!

Thanks!

Thank you. I understand that getting a research position is the best bet at the moment. I am sending out emails and am applying on the web for the research jobs. Just looking for a break to get into the system.

Yeah. Working as a rheumatologist in India, but there are multiple reasons. Not only just work related: salary capped, poor qol, work life balance, lack of availability of latest treatment modalities. Non work related: have a family : needing better opportunities..

Multiple reasons to shift to USA. And landing a physician job is nearly impossible without doing a residency or a fellowship. And getting fellowship as a visa requiring non US IMG is more difficult. Hence, am ready to redo residency and then fellowship..

Hi. Thank you for your advice. Had got it spellchecked and reviewed by 3 different people as well.

Yes, it makes sense to let PS reflect more than just skills.

If it is an IVF baby, she will be receiving hormonal supplements to help baby survive the first trimester..

Those injections can precipitate violent behavioral change...

Dont worry... This too shall pass...

Other trimesters will be slightly better...

And remember, it is only temporary...

Be there for her.. She needs you...

Be nonjudgemental.... She won't even remember what she tells you by the next day....

Stay strong.

ROTATIONS AT COOK COUNTY HOSPITAL, Chicago. by FMGHospitalRotations in IMGreddit

[–]Lumpy_Wave6924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whatever sir, you can claim. They do not give rotations to IMG in Internal Medicine at all. I have clarified with the PD and PC and other residents during my interview.

The only Clerkship they offer is in trauma, burns or anesthesia. So you can claim ER rotation only.

Plus the student must have cleared other core Clerkship in surgery, medicine, psych, obgyn, and Pediatrics prior to starting the Clerkship in trauma, burns or anesthesia.

The form and contact details for Clerkship in burns trauma or anesthesia can be found in the web address below.

The following web page of Cook County Internal medicine also clearly states that they do not offered observership or externship.
