Hey! My name Dr. Vaibhavi “V” Solanki and I am an IM Resident in NYC, graduated from St. George’s University, and a former Canada’s Top20Under20.
As an outgoing Canadian-Indian medical student (F-IMG), matching into a university-level residency in NYC felt like a dream come true. I want to help other students achieve the same goals! After scoring 240+ on my USMLEs and having great success through the ERAS/NRMP residency application process (25+ interviews), I decided to create this channel as a platform to mentor and provide useful tips for aspiring physicians. Trust me, if I could do it, so can you - set the bar high! Follow me on my adventures as I maneuver through the concrete jungle of NYC, learning my way through the toughest years of medical training, and keeping myself sane!

ERAS Application/Residency Application STEP BY STEP - Part 1
I have a question- maximum how many pages CV can we have ?
Is there any other sources than thalamus, Microsoft teams and zoom that they use for IVs?
I havent received any interview yet yhis season n its start of nov. Should i send letter of intent. And also would it be a good idea if i call the program directly on phone and ask them if they shortlisted their candidates???
So. I have been waitlisted for virtual interview in thalamus? what are my chances of getting a spot? I emailed the program coordinator and she said that's all the dates they have? What should i do I will have to travel from Australia and it's a costly affair.
For post-interview communication so you only email the PD or also the assistant PD and residents who interviewed you if you had good convos with them all....
Thanks V!
10/10 most helpful video I've come across as I'm preparing to apply to psych residency. Thank you so much!
Thanks thanks
Thank you so much for sharing the information. It will surely help me out when the time comes for the 2024 match.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your advices. Could you pls share companies who will help with structuring PS or editing.
Your video was really helpful....i have a question...i am now a final year student, scheduled my step for next month (Jan 2023), don't have much on cv just few research experience. Any tips how can I improve more? How to look for volunteering opportunities?..i am really clueless right now... would be helpful if u could give me some idea...
Dr. V, thank you so much for the very informative video and tips! I have one question regarding personal statements please. Does it look bad to programs if you edit and update your personal statement AFTER submission of your ERAS application? I ended up updating mine multiple times after and the pop-up on ERAS said "your updated PS will be sent directly to the assigned programs". Are the programs notified of this specifically and does this look really bad on your part?
Preferences on Paragraph vs Bulletin point style?
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, it was Godsent. I was so lost on how the application itself, on how to phrase things and make them look professional. THANK YOU
Sorry just want to verify so add the ERAS picture to the Signature? So it will show at the bottom ? I wasn't aware that was possible
Amazing Advice, thank you!
Could you make a video about your recording (audio and video) setup? What apps you use to edit your wonderful videos? And any tips from your side. Thank you Keep up the good work. :D
A doubt- does the portal require the upload of documents such as certificates from volunteer experiences, etc or do we just have to mention it?
Hi, If I did a 2 week observrship, can I ask for an LOR? what is a good duration of an observership to ask for a letter?
I’m a USMF student and this has been helpful. Thank you. Trying to get an idea of ERAS before it opens.
Thank you for making this video. My question is For IMGs does Home country residency training in Peadiatrics HELPS in Match process. Thanks
Hey. thank you Dr. I just want to ask one question, once we have made our account on MyERAS do we need to buy the token to fill our details and upload our required credentials?
Hi :) When you mention tutoring; would tutoring in workshops organized by my university or as a tutor assistant in a compulsory subject for younger year medical students count as an experience in the ''WORK'' section? Even though I was not paid for this teaching I did? Basically in the ''WORK'' section, is it just for activities you got paid for?
Old year of graduation is red flag for neurology???
May you please make a video about the ways to master English for an IMG to be functionally native? Thank you very much
thank you for this <3 How to know if you are waitlisted? and how to know if other applicants dropped from the wait list and now there are spots if the program doesn't email us and tell us there are spots?

Why do we have to email them an update after we sign up for the interview? How will that help when we already accepted invitation and signed up for interview date? Thank you
Your videos are so amazing and helpful! I am so grateful for all your work and content.
Banging my head now, i had already clicked submit , thinking i can always add the detailes later as LoR etc would go as a complete package , but damn me .
I don't see where to save the programs selected. Can you help please?
Hi, if I withdrew from a program but have to apply again, will I have to pay again? Also, does the program get to know that I withdrew?
Wait I'm confused... I absolutely do not have enough characters for 8-9 hobbies. Do you remember how many characters you were allowed?
Thank you so much. How do I assign the USMLE transcript to all the programs?
Is it ok to include volunteer experience we had for improving the ecosystem? Like out door activities to better the environment like planting trees? Or I shouldn't? lol. It's not something made up, they have a website and documentation that I did it as I completed online application for it.
Do we write our clinical rotations in work experience? If we're Caribbean students.
if we put us address (mailing) then in the next section it asks us about do you currently reside in the us?should we add that city of the mailing address or leave it blank?
Need advice: Should we apply on time (by sept 29) with step 2 CK score missing (exam dates on 10 October) or apply late with a complete application?
Extremely helpful!
Great effort !
Great Information
Thank you so much for this content! Being an IMG this is the perfect video! ✨
Is a postdoc clinical research fellow (paid) considered under work experience or research experience? and what would be my position title/organization name if I want to include an independent research project that I did in the research experience section? Thank you
Awesome video, V! Excellent tips on how to optimize the application!
If you still haven't done step 2 ck, would you suggest setting aside some time daily just to work on applications or primalrily focus on getting the ck score in by sep 29 deadline? OR does it not matter as much if your ck score comes in by the time MSPEs are sent out on Oct 21? Or both?
