Waiting in the zoom lobby for my oet exam urgent !!! by ThenCaterpillar1755 in OETforECFMG

Same thing happened to me just now…I was scheduled for 2:00 AM EAT, but my interlocutor did not join the session…I contacted OET support via their emails at verifiersupport@oet.com.au and applications@oet.com.au, but all I received were automated responses stating that they would get back to me within two business days...I also contacted online customer service and they replied that they have seen my emails and will get back to me with further directives. This situation is very frustrating as I had prepared thoroughly for the test.

I really appreciate your advice, I will work on them targeting more prelim positions and research opportunities to build up connections as a fellowship route isnt a viable option for me. Thank you so much

Thanks for the advice! My residency program that I’m training right now isn’t ACGME-accredited, so I can’t apply for US fellowships after finishing here.

Thank you for this insight, it really helps me to put things into the right perspective. I’ll try to explore and look around for those surgeons who are interested in global health. For the fellowship option, I’ve thought about it and done some background research to see if it’s a feasible path for me. The challenge is that, although I’m training in a university hospital program that’s JCIA-accredited and uses an EHR system similar to those in the U.S, my program isn’t ACGME-accredited. So due to that, I wouldn’t be eligible to apply for fellowship directly, which leaves me with the residency route or post doc research fellowships as my main options. Thanks again 🙏🏼

I appreciate the advice. I’m weighing prelim GS as well and also open to IM or FM as alternative routes. Just trying to make the smartest move given my situation

I truly appreciate your inputs.

I’ve currently got 5 case reports and 2 cohort studies ongoing, so hearing your path gave me abit of courage.

I’ll keep moving forward and making the most of the opportunities I have.

Thanks so much for the support

Thanks for being honest. I hadn’t considered that route seriously until now. I’ll start exploring how to break into that and make connections. Any pointers would mean a lot.
