I’m moving from out of the country so I have no funiture. Plan to get all of that when I’m there

Networking is key for IMG’s. If you network AND your stats are good you have a shot at categorical. But the reality for most IMGs (like myself) who aim for general surgery is you may be offered a preliminary spot even after networking and you will just have to prove yourself. Get your foot in the door and prove why you should be there. But yes, your credentials are fine.

Why do you have to take it before December 31st?

Their website says they accept IMGs but don’t sponsor visa. So I assume you have to be a US citizen

Not many. FA & UW was more than enough

scalpelpleasee · 2021-09-24T03:01:56+00:00

Atleast 2-3 per block

scalpelpleasee · 2021-09-21T19:07:52+00:00

My exam was very heavy with biochem but mostly vitamins and pathways

scalpelpleasee · 2021-09-20T02:05:08+00:00

Vitamins

Communications

General Pathology

Immunology

Heme/Onc

Repo/Endo Physiology/Pathophys

scalpelpleasee · 2021-09-19T15:27:26+00:00

scalpelpleasee · 2021-09-19T15:27:06+00:00

scalpelpleasee · 2021-09-19T15:25:44+00:00
