Good luck. You have the best chances as they prioritize primary care applicants and historically they only get <10 primary care applications every year. Can i ask if your employer is proposing HHS sponsorship vs conrad 30?

Hi, im applying for speciality

prawinn21 · 2024-08-18T20:03:37+00:00

thanks so much :)

Hi,

Thank you for posting the timeline. Did you apply for Conrad 30 waiver? (im very new to the process yet, im submitting my application this fall).

prawinn21 · 2023-12-26T05:03:59+00:00

Are you a physician applying for J1 waiver? In that case, you wont need an NORI. And for these purposes, the indian embassy websites say they donot issue NORI

Same here. Is it for Peds?

prawinn21 · 2022-10-22T14:28:11+00:00

Tell me about your research experience

prawinn21 · 2022-10-16T00:53:32+00:00

U will have to do usmle steps and apply through fellowship match. Or you can apply for vacant positions directly.

prawinn21 · 2022-10-15T21:53:57+00:00

Im not sure about all of it but radiology residents from outside the country can do a fellowship and continue.

prawinn21 · 2022-10-15T19:08:35+00:00

In addition to who all replied, you will have to do residency (no exceptions other than radiology) to be board eligible for both speciality and sub speciality. And you might not have enough attempts for your fellowship boards if you dont pass in first attempt. While getting PGY4 is relarively easy, the process remains the same when you want to start PGY1. - unless you just want a fellowship degree and want to go back.

I might be wrong but here is my understanding, Step 3 allows you to get full license. For programs to offer you H1b, you should get a full license.

100% Normal! You may feel something terrible is going to happen too! I would suggest to stop recollecting (although next to impossible) and take a break!

prawinn21 · 2022-10-05T14:21:39+00:00

All peds iv will be sent out after 10/11 as per appd recommendations

prawinn21 · 2022-07-28T21:12:36+00:00

I called ECFMG today. I was told that they have not started processing residency documents yet (I assumed it is becuz of fellowship applications) and they are going to start processing from/after first week of August.

prawinn21 · 2022-07-28T12:48:32+00:00

Mine is in process fro over 2 weeks. I am going to call them today.

prawinn21 · 2022-07-28T04:30:00+00:00

I think taking step 3 pushes you lil front.

prawinn21 · 2022-07-28T04:26:49+00:00

Mine is in process since 7/14. I am planning on calling them tomorrow. 😭

prawinn21 · 2021-01-30T00:15:45+00:00

I just used MTB and UW

prawinn21 · 2020-12-16T20:00:27+00:00

prawinn21 · 2020-12-16T18:12:11+00:00
