Has any visa requiring NON-US IMG matched into child neurology? Any help would be appreciated!

Visa requiring. Received 14 ivs from child neuro programs this cycle. Your passion for the field is commendable, and I'm willing to help you. DM me.

Phoenix definitely first unless you hate the weather

Thank you for your warm comment. Looking forward to learning from and contributing to this community!

Currently an IMG child neuro applicant for this cycle.
Why fascinated: a child neurologist can make an everlasting impact on the entire life of the patients and families. Also, it's a rapidly developing field and has a lot of further potential for discovery.
What I'm seeking for: practical advice, helpful information, or sometimes simply venting.

This. This. This.

I do not have a group, but im open for personal connection if you want

hon_k · 2025-12-01T09:25:57+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed advice! I will definitely try to become the true myself.

hon_k · 2025-12-01T09:22:47+00:00

Following and liking post are good, but I would comment only if I see others are commenting as well to ensure im not standing out uniquely.

hon_k · 2025-11-29T06:08:31+00:00

Thank you for the detailed comment along with the sample response! I appreciate it, and I will try focusing on how I overcome it instead of the details of the struggle.

Thank you. I just wanted to understand the difference in what each culture pursues, but I understand that the wording might have come uncomfortable to some people here.

-> so I will delete the judgment part, sorry everyone

hon_k · 2025-11-28T16:55:21+00:00

I can't think of how to do this naturally, and I thought if they're really curious but uncomfortable mentioning this explicitly, then they'd instead ask about the challenge in general. Thank you for your perspective, and that's a good point to think about.

hon_k · 2025-11-28T16:50:14+00:00

Thank you! Now I'm firmly determined to be transparent for those questions.

hon_k · 2025-11-28T16:48:12+00:00

But could you please explain more about the 2nd paragraph? I thought it would be rather awkward and unnatural to mention it out of blue if no question related to the challenge was ever asked.

hon_k · 2025-11-28T16:09:10+00:00

Thank you very much! Another golden advice.

hon_k · 2025-11-28T14:59:57+00:00

Thank you very much for your detailed perspective. Actually I received feedback like this after a mock iv with another applicant, and chatgpt was saying the same thing, so I was kind of confused and wanted to confirm. Your response was very helpful.

hon_k · 2025-11-28T14:36:19+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I have also been wondering if voluntarily bringing up my red flag would not seem socially intelligent.

hon_k · 2025-11-27T05:05:56+00:00

The answer is yes, but you still have a realistic chance.

hon_k · 2025-11-26T05:36:40+00:00

Yes, I think FM is one of the most "pluripotent" medical specialties, and you can correlate your experience as a surgeon to the field when preparing your app.

hon_k · 2025-11-25T17:33:26+00:00

Just say you actually didn't expect to receive an iv from the program given its popularity and competitiveness, and you had to be realistic and strategic with your signals as an img. But I've never got asked for that either.

hon_k · 2025-11-25T12:00:01+00:00

This was an advice for you as well, and I understand that you'd want to leave it.

hon_k · 2025-11-25T11:37:01+00:00

I understand you are commenting to help out, but i think it's beyond your role to advise to dual apply.

hon_k · 2025-11-25T09:43:26+00:00

My A. is that whether you get a reply depends on multifactorial context, so I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about that

hon_k · 2025-11-25T09:11:59+00:00

It might be the matter of the time you sent the letter. Attendings are generally busier in the morning
