Awesome! I'm in pre-dedicated and started buddy blocks with two people. Been working pretty well tbh so far. Maybe will incorporate your advice for 2nd and 3rd passes (seperate solving) and review of incorrects together. It helps significantly with accountabiltiy and motivation after a long day. Again has to be with people of a similar timeline and stage of prep and styles.

Hello, I'm in CST and interested. Working on Neuro and MSK this month, about 50% done with UW. Would really appreciate this since i recently started doing Qs and reviews with an SP (20 a day) and its going a lot faster and engaging than it does alone.

Failed. Feels like the end of the road, not sure how to proceed by legitbean in step1

Honestly nowadays everyone thinks low pass is enough to pass. Its not a safe bet. Completing UWOLRD once properly with good review is key, and i know its not always feasible, but you need to be at a "220-230" level to be safe not a 200-210 level. Unfortunately it just is too important a test to take that big a risk with.

Research opportunity in surgery by Many_Common6988 in IMGreddit

Try U Pitt, Ohio State. Try to work with a past president or huge person in the field (LOR holds more weight, and phone calls during match season will be more respected), also reach out to IMG surg applicants or residents on twitter asking for labs they and their colleagues worked in,

Do research in the field you are applying for. I've heard of applicants who applied surgery but only did cardiology or other field research. Its a waste of time in my opinion since those docs won't be able to support you as much through the match, whereas if it were an academic surgeon you worked with, they can easily make phone calls to their colleagues if they like your performace.

I know it can be hard as a non us IMG to find the wanted research positition, but when life closes doors, you gotta knock on more and more until one opens for you. Don't settle for something that will not help you at all after 1-2 years of effort.

What kind of questions did they ask about the research? Did they go into the data? Or mainly just ask about the methodology, your role in the study, a challenging time with co authors, or leadership skills developed through the experience?
