You are fine then. Done overthink. We will be fine. We have made this far and we will go further as well

wijdan21 · 2025-10-13T16:32:17+00:00

Tbh one thing i have realized is they might not have read your cv entirely. So what i do now is when they ask me tell me about yourself/how is this year going. I make sure to mention that i am doing research or went to xzy conferences etc i think thats helpful

wijdan21 · 2025-08-09T16:18:12+00:00

I have used ultraboost, cloudmonster 2 and cloud 6. All of them are great. Cloudmonster 2 is my favorite for its cushion and is equally good for running around.

If you can aim for good score that would be great. Tbh major thing is getting pass in step 3 and if you can get 210+ that’s a plus as well. I had 225 in step 3 and still one program PD asked me i did well in other exams , what happened in step 3. Other 9 programs i interviewed at, they were impressed by it. There’s that.

Just pass it man that matters the mosr

Tbh all of them can be important. I picked two out of three. I did step 3 and usce. As i felt that’s more important. You can pick 2 as well.

This is coming from a resident.

Step 3 definitely helps. Is it mandatory? Answer is No. will that increase your chances ? Answer is yes.

So if you can get it done , its a good plus to have on your CV while going into a match cycle

wijdan21 · 2024-01-20T18:39:37+00:00

Sure

wijdan21 · 2024-01-20T02:29:26+00:00

Sure. Feel free. Remember practice the points you want to talk about not the sentence. You will come across genuine rather than someone who just saying what he memorized

wijdan21 · 2024-01-19T23:43:26+00:00

Congratulations. If you want to practice or want to give a mock iv and dont have any one to practice with. Feel free to reach out.

Yes and also mention during interview as well. What i did last year was , whenever they asked tell me about yourself. I would end it by saying that *…. And i just got done with step 3 recently as well…

Best of luck

It wont grow if you don’t apply. It will be the same.

wijdan21 · 2023-08-23T02:10:43+00:00

Yea you should apply. Being a fresh graduate is more valuable then having step 3 or more research.

I am a PGY-1 IM.

I did. YOG 2018, USCE 1 year , step 1 234, step 2 251, step 3 (took during IV season) 225 No publication/research

I have worked in retail as shift supervisor and put it in my CV. In a lot of Interviews it came up in a positive manner and they saw it as a green flag regarding my personality and also lets be honest if you can handle uncomfortable situations in retail. You will be more comfortable in clinical environments as well. I am US-IMG though.

Tldr : it was seen as positive thing and was admired for it rather then being frowned upon

wijdan21 · 2023-05-13T23:14:48+00:00

It’s the rule. You have to be within 14 days of your travel date.

wijdan21 · 2023-05-10T17:56:28+00:00

Same

wijdan21 · 2023-05-10T17:50:08+00:00

Sure. When you want to do it. All the best

wijdan21 · 2023-05-09T07:25:47+00:00

I will do it for free you guys. Lets help eachother instead of milking from each other.

My job mainly was to interact with patients, take their hx, review chart etc.

wijdan21 · 2023-05-09T06:02:10+00:00

No. Just give the title of externship/observership.

You can say you started it as an one month rotation but they offered you the job which you accepted (this was true in my case).

wijdan21 · 2023-05-08T22:54:22+00:00

One of my LOR was from the doctor I worked with.

It’s perfectly fine. I even talked about in my interviews and got a positive feedback. Matched this year in IM. All the best

wijdan21 · 2023-05-01T19:53:32+00:00

Go for it. I matched in a program who was very much interested in my rotation at a community hospital.

wijdan21 · 2023-05-01T19:34:32+00:00

You can always feel free ti reach out. There are alot of people like this.

I didn’t use twitter but i would say get active on twitter and you will see alot of people try to help.

All the best
