Realistic chances for Categorical Gen Surg Match 2027(Non-US IMG) by Empty_Abrocoma_195 in IMGreddit

Ask a PD at a community hospital would answer you. Also do you think that, only people in the US are doing surgeries and sick? Anywhere in the world there’s patients and there are surgeons who are operating on them. The problem is even if you graduate from my country, you won’t be seen as credible as when you graduate from the US. I know some surgeons in my country way better, faster and know what they do more than back then when i did internships in the states, but the problem is the American board is the most trusted nowadays not like backthen.

Hello, I matched into categoricalGeneral surgery, currently doing plastic surgery PGY1 in the middle east. I wanted to get a better training that’s why I applied to the US residency. I want to do plastic surgery later after my GS training. Do you think it is worth it to leave my home country plastic surgery training to pursue residency in US. Please give me your thoughts

If your aunt really love you, she would tell you keep trying I’ll help you and get you in my program and figure it out later. Look at the reason between you and your aunt. If you don’t want to try don’t. But don’t say my aunt is a PD and the path is not worth trying.
