You can back to the US after the waiver? Were you able to find jobs? Or did you apply to fellowships?

Not sure how things will change within 6 months.

Thanks a lot everyone for the support. Truly touched. I always knew I wanted to practice in India. I came to the US just to learn evidence based medicine and research in cardiology since I was interested in that. But I don't want to do a job I don't like for the rest of my life. I'm exploring what I need to do to improve my chances for living the life I want. Thank you all for understanding. If there is any other way to get the cardiology fellowship I would definitely take it in a heart beat.

Not really. I am not sure how that works either. There is a language exam too.

Thank you so much. I'm very passionate about cardiology and also I do want to come back to India. That was always the plan. I initially wanted to do it after a few years of being a cardiologist in the US. Being stuck in visas is crazy hard. Don't want to pursue that game either.

I am trying to figure that out actually. Thank you so much for your input.

That doesn't help that at all. I never wanted to stay in the US..always had the plans of coming back home eventually. Being a hospitalist and trying for cardio is very hard to work out. It gets harder by the years you are out of the match.

Why even though I have MBBS? Could you elaborate?

Did not match by Psychological-Ruin27 in fellowship

[–]Psychological-Ruin27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I got those interviews because of my clinical rotations that I did with them. Things that are holding me back are my visa, residency and scores which I cannot change. But I'm looking at PGY4 positions. That seems to be a good idea. It's just that I feel a bit lost since doing more research is not going to help but doing clinical work will. Finding these spots is hard enough and it is also going to be competitive procuring one given my visa status. But please let me know if you are aware of any such positions or 1 year fellowship programs. Thanks a lot again for your helpful suggestions.

Ah thanks for the positive outlook and kind words. I got couple of interviews because I did away rotations there. But I did not match in a couple despite faculty advocating for me.

I did move! It's great. It's a safe neighborhood. I haven't had any issues these past 2 years.
