@@Okiedokieyes Possibility shouldn’t be confused with feasibility. My college alumni matched into Neurosurgery in a Colorado hospital. He had 10 gold medals in mbbs, got double digit rank in neet pg, spent 3 years in US for research, impressed all profs there and had an impressive CV overall. That’s not the kind of advise we’d give to an average person.
Hi Manik, Can you please make a video on Residency in Anesthesiology ? If possible, perhaps an interview with an IMG that matched in Anesthesiology? Thanks for the videos.
Hi Dr Manik. I'm an img currently prepping for step 1and i wish to match into UofPenn internal medicine residency. If you would be so kind to make a video on what they look for /prefer in their applicants cause ive heard its a very competitive/difficult to get into program . I can work to craft my cv towards the kind of applicant they would take.
At 30:46 you say that a friend was able to get a sub internship at Duke being a research fellow. How did they get that being an IMG? SubIs are reserved for third or final year students. Is there a link to this sub internship? Additionally, Duke sponsors students from accredited LCME schools and takes in students through VSLO only. Can you elaborate on this?
Do they have a public account or a way I can reach out to them? Because as I mentioned already in the initial comment, SubIs can't be done by graduates. They'll need to have a limited/restricted/temporary license issued by the State Medical Board to do it unless it was not a SubI and an observership and then the preceptors allowed the observer to have hands-on xp which is not legal but a very commonly practiced thing in the IMG circle.
Great content Manik but wanted to share some pov on the information presented. If you have a target audience that is IMG, resident salary will seem high because you will have foregone the debt accrued by home graduates. If you were a US or Caribbean medical graduate, then no, the resident salary is terrible with nearly 10% interest on half a million dollars of loan. The other aspect is that if you live in a big city like LA or NY, then the cost of living will be nearly what your salary alone. The other thing to note is that you are a psychiatry resident, which is comparatively less grueling in training hours to internal medicine or some surgical specialty. That is perhaps why psychiatry is becoming more competitive as today's generation values work-life balance.
i have a doubt please help,i have been studying basic pharma from First Aid along with B&B,but B&B do not have video on Autonomic drugs,Gprotein linked receptors,sympathomimetics drugs and these topics are given in first aid books 2023,so what to do now go on with B&B only that is i am asking study only what B&B are teaching and leave the extra topics of first aid,please help🙏🙏 and please do reply.
As a final yr medical student , who juat planned on giving USMLE , what would you advise to do : - Prepare for step 1 Or - Do electives in US I would really appreciate your advise in this regard Secondly how long does it take to prepare for step1?
Hi Manik, I have to disagree with you on a point. I was in peds residency and the program was very toxic and racist. in fact Im indian and one co resident said many racist things to my face. There were two other IMGs who were from a muslim country and people said many things about them as well. so always keep your guard up and never think anywhere is safe. I was even called a "foreigner" when I went to go get a check up at a doctor's office. So yes be careful because one persons perspective is not anothers.
