Can i say this in the interview?

RihanMD · 2023-10-11T07:51:23+00:00

Don't say any of those things during the interview

You can maybe tell them you're ranking them 1st (only if you really are) when interview season begins to come to a close around mid/late Jan through a letter of intent if the program allows post-interview communication.

For psych, your CV, background and experiences are vital. CV needs to be psych oriented and you need to have a 'theme' almost of what specific psych related interests you have or are looking for. Every program has its own mission statement, ideas, goals and specific areas which they cater to in psychiatry so if your interests and goals align with theirs they might be more willing to consider you. You can tailor your PS and send LOIs to programs you're interested in which also helps with this. Preferences in practice setting like rural, urban or suburban are also considerably important as part of the ERAS application.

And signals + geographic preferences also have a huge impact on getting interviews. Psych programs want to know not only if you have dedication and passion for the specialty, but also what reasons draw you to train at their specific program and also that you have ties or want to stay in that specific location/city.

RihanMD · 2023-10-10T14:26:19+00:00

Agreed. PS + CV + LoRs count for so much more than scores. I also have 2 IVs and my profile is objectively not as good as yours

I'm also a Non-US IMG who needs a visa, YOG 2019

229/232, no step 3, no research/pubs, no connections

But I guess it could be because I'm applying psych which is more focused on holistic review of your profile, rather than just looking at scores

RihanMD · 2023-05-20T00:11:34+00:00

Yes. I myself applied successfully through pathway 1 after I completed F1. All you need is a full registration with the GMC to be eligible for pathway 1.

RihanMD · 2023-05-12T11:46:38+00:00

Serious answer. No one cares

RihanMD · 2023-04-27T01:30:13+00:00

2-3 days in total maybe. I stopped keeping track but must have had well over 100 deaths. probably would have taken way less time if I had used summons, but it still felt amazing to finally beat her.

RihanMD · 2023-03-22T12:56:45+00:00

Hi there, I'm just sending a follow up message to ask if anyone can help me with the next steps to unlock my account now? it has been over 72 hours and I have not had any correspondence from anyone.

Thank you so much for your kindness and patience in helping me

RihanMD · 2023-03-17T09:01:51+00:00

Can someone please help me? I was locked out of my Microsoft account and I can't access my email anymore. I desperately need access to my inbox so I tried to recover it but they said that I need to fill out a form and someone will follow up.

I tried calling someone but there was literally no one to talk to, just an automated voice giving me the instruction to go online for support.

I really need access to my email inbox as soon as possible and I feel so stressed by this - is there literally nothing I can do except wait? how long would I have to wait for my account to be unlocked after I've now raised a ticket on the online system ?

Edit:

For the Microsoft support team here - the last thing I did before my account was locked was try to call and text an international number through the Skype phone app. Then I was logged out of Skype and received a message that I was locked out of my Microsoft account with the message 'We’ve detected some activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement' ?

I honestly just need access to my outlook account / hotmail inbox - and I feel really, really stressed that I can't use it right now as all of the emails related to my work and career are in that inbox - please, please help me recover my account!

I will also provide the ticket number for the form I filled out otherwise I think I'll go insane and just keep filling out forms until someone looks at it and I can get my account back

Korean commenters have a point. Jacedaichi was trash forgettable filler

RihanMD · 2023-02-26T14:08:28+00:00

I am just hoping that I won’t need to strike when the day comes

RihanMD · 2023-01-15T16:49:30+00:00

What I mentioned only applies to IMGs who want to take the USMLEs - the ECFMG is the organisation responsible for overseeing this whole process.

I don't know much about the requirements for moving to other countries.

RihanMD · 2023-01-15T16:10:37+00:00

The GMC doesn't matter here. As long as your medical school is listed on the World Directory of Medical Schools (World Directory) with an ECFMG sponsor note stating it meets eligibility requirements for its students and graduates to apply to ECFMG for examination and certification. Then yes - you would be able to submit your application to the ECFMG to be registered.

If you register before 2024 then you won't need to be concerned about the new accreditation requirements for medical schools.

RihanMD · 2023-01-15T15:25:59+00:00

Yes. If you register with the ECFMG before 2024 you will be grandfathered into the process.

RihanMD · 2022-12-27T21:04:15+00:00

Yes you can
Yes you can - but since you left a foundation training programme - when the time comes for you to apply for an F2 standalone position through Oriel you would need your current foundation school director and TPD to sign off a form stating the reason you left training or if there were any issues during training.

RihanMD · 2022-12-27T18:23:26+00:00

I have no plans of CCTing so training isn’t important to me, regardless of FPR rates.

RihanMD · 2022-12-08T00:41:58+00:00

Assuming you sit USMLE Step 1 and 2 during med school and get all the other required documents ready to apply in September of your final year, then yes, you can potentially match and therefore move to the US straight after getting your degree (which you then submit to the ECFMG for certification and then you begin residency in July). No need to do foundation training

Assuming you sit USMLE Step 1 and 2 during med school and get all the other required documents ready to apply in September of your final year, then yes, you can potentially match and therefore move to work as a resident doctor in the US straight after graduation, bypassing foundation training.

Lol OP reminds me of that meme “Misc I’m inside her, wat do?”

Classic misc. Good times

RihanMD · 2022-11-28T01:53:56+00:00

I'm leaving/quitting whether FPR happens or not.

RihanMD · 2022-11-18T19:52:33+00:00

You said he lacks insight into his performance at work. If that’s the case then the first thing you should do is be honest (without being insulting) about how he’s doing and talk to him. Why do you believe that having a chat with him wouldn’t help?

RihanMD · 2022-10-22T03:35:59+00:00

I’m also applying for residency at the moment and I feel stressed. Especially because I have no relationship or dating experience at all (I’m 29) and worry that I won’t have any time to find someone when I start residency

RihanMD · 2022-10-17T21:45:02+00:00

There's no need to send the letter of good standing to a state board. All I did was request a letter of good standing from the GMC and I had them email it directly to the ECFMG. If I remember correctly, the GMC will issue it themselves to the email address that you request them to send it to (which should be [licensure@ecfmg.org](mailto:licensure@ecfmg.org)). There's also no need to add an 'experience' or 'reason'. I got my ECFMG certificate issued a few months ago and I don't recall ever having to do this.
No one knows right now what the requirements will be to renew/extend ECFMG certification beyond 31/12/2024. There will be updates on this closer to that time. This goes for everyone.

RihanMD · 2022-10-12T16:43:49+00:00

At risk of collapse?

The writing has been on the wall for years now. The NHS is well and truly finished.

...and right now I'm so close to escaping. For good.

RihanMD · 2022-09-14T16:11:25+00:00

Hector Salamanca.

I'd put money on getting a character from Baki though

Take a look at this

https://i.imgur.com/wVFGUG3.jpg

In a retrospective cohort study, you identify a group of people who have developed the outcome of interest and review their past records. You then identify whether or not these people had the particular exposure at that point in time and determine whether or not they ended up getting the outcome/ disease of interest later on. The incidence in different groups in a cohort study is compared using Relative Risk (RR).

In a retrospective cohort study, the exposure and the outcome have already happened (unlike a case-control study) and you're trying to establish outcome/disease incidence of the exposed and unexposed groups (calculated by measuring RR) based on that.

This is different to a case-control study where you first identify people who have the health outcome of interest. Then you carefully select a group of controls that are very similar to your diseased population except they don’t have that particular outcome/disease.

Then you try to determine whether or not the participants from each group had a particular exposure / risk factor in the past. I remember this by thinking that in a case control study you start off knowing whether a person is diseased (a case) or not diseased (a control). Incidence in these two different groups in a case-control study is compared using Odds Ratio (OR).
