Thank you Doc for everything. My school is Universidad national experimental romuro gallegos. Venezuela. It is recognised for WMD but it does not have sponsor note for my program medico integral comunitario. As it has no sponsor note for my medical program that mean I am not eligible for ECFMG certification. Do there is another way ? 😭😭😭😭😭 I wish I be able to take the Step , Anyone can Help me please ? I live in NYC.
In the state of Georgia, they utilize the California Medical School List as a reference. If your medical school is included on this list, you only have to complete 1 year of postgraduate training to obtain an unrestricted medical license instead of the usual 3 years. This allows you to apply for transitional or preliminary positions to fulfill the one-year postgraduate training requirement. This serves as an excellent safeguard in case you are dismissed from or choose to leave residency. It ensures that you can financially support yourself and continue to see patients, even without board certification.
Awesome content. A litttle correction: Caribbean Medical schools are grouped under IMCs (International Medical Colleges). Therefore, someone who graduates from such Medical colleges is a IMG (International Medical Graduate) and subject to additional certifications and training. I'd say the only benefit of Caribbean medical schools is that some of them are affiliated to US Medical schools which allows them to send their students over to the US for clinical rotations in their 3rd to 5th semesters of study.
Please make a detailed video on how to grab clerkships, sub internships, externships and observerships? I'm a third year student and i could really use it!
A physician scientist with many papers published in high impact journals, thousand of citations, high H index, can opt to the pathway 7. It is not necessary residency at all...
Hi! I have a question! I have done my 4 year specialization in physiology and done 2 researches. I am currently teaching physiology. Which pathway would be appropriate for me to chose keeping in view my specialization and experience.

Thanks Mr. Manik What’s the best pathway for an Indian orthopaedic surgeon who’s 44 yrs old and enthusiastic enough to settle and practice orthopaedic surgery in the US. Thanks in advance
Hi there Can you look into how to get board certified in ENT as an IMG. I completed my CCT in UK just few months back and will be doing an advanced head and neck fellowship in London this year. The ENT boards say the alternativr pathway for IMGs requires 7 years of continuous work as an attending physician with teaching requirements. Unfortunately, they don't accept 2 years of fellowship work either. Hence it seems very long and arduous. Are you able to make a video on ENT ?
Thanks so much for this video. How does one find fellowship opportunities in the USA for a family physician? When does the application cycle open? I have my ecfmg and I have completed a family medicine residency in the UK.
1. NRMP Fellowship Match 2. San Francisco Match 3. Out Of Match Opportunities Since the match is already over, I would go to FREIDA (google for it) > filter for programs that hosts fellowships and sponsor visa > send email to program director and program coordinator of all family medicine fellowships asking for a out of match position. If you need professional help with this you can email my team at manik@manikmadaan.com
Manik sir, one question ! I gave my step 1 in 2023 and step 2 in 2024.planning to do residency from home country and will then do fellowship after pg from india. I wanted to ask, that the score is valid for 7 years, but i read that to you have to get permanently certifoed from ecfmg within 7 years, and for that to happen, one has to complete at least 1 year of residency. So does that mean that i have to gwt matched within 7 years and complete my first uear of pg within 7 years. Can you please explain this??
Hello Dr Manik, I'm an IMG with ECFMG certification and a IM specialist in my home country after home residency. I have participated in multiple match without any luck. I had 2 questions 1. I wanted to know how i can land non-ACGME fellowships? Where can i get more info on this? Do i have to mail random people or is there a streamlined process? 2. Where can i get more specific information about the state specific pathway. I have mailed 2 PDs, one of them replied and other one didn't. One PD replied they are not participating in this pathway. Is there any way to know which medical programs are participating in this pathway? I mean there is little to no information about this.

Hi Sir, I am a Canadian citizen who pursued High schooling in India. My end goal is to practice medicine in the US. I have 2 options either to pursue premed in Canada ( as I am considered a domestic student in Canada so BSc fees are very cheap- I got into UofT with a scholarship) and then pursue medical school in the US ( which will be expensive as I will be treated as an international student in US ) or I can study MBBS in India ( in India I am still considered NRI because I have Canadian passport - so its still expensive in India as well ) and then pursue US residency, I am a first gen premed / medical aspirant and have no one to guide me, please help and advise on which path would u recommend in this case for long term ? For context I am not a high achieving extraordinary student but yes i work hard , i am an above average good student
Pls amake a video how to become a dentist in the united states except giving nbde examination cause i am from lower middile class family so cant afford too expensive tuition fee
am writing to seek your guidance regarding my daughter’s career plans in medicine. She is currently a third-year MBBS student and intends to appear for the USMLE exam to pursue her residency in the United States. While I support her aspirations to gain advanced training abroad, my primary concern is whether she can return to India after completing her residency in the U.S. and practice medicine here. As her parent, I strongly wish for her to settle in India and contribute to the medical field within our country. Could you please provide clarity on the current requirements or procedures for U.S.-trained doctors to obtain the necessary approvals or licenses to practice in India? Any guidance or resources to help us better understand the process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
All training in the US is recognized in India without the need to give any exams. The only caveats are that US graduates can only practice in private hospitals or clincs and not in government setups
I have a question: Is the fellowship to the board pathway necessary for the person who does residency from their home country? What if, for example, they did MBBS + house job (1 year training) from their country, then went to Ireland for residency ( many students from Pakistan are doing this because they want to go into surgery)? Can they still use that pathway for fellowship in the US?
As a Pakistani medical graduate After passing mbbs plus one year house job and after getting Irish licence....can we apply for pathway no 6...do we still need to pass usmle or steps as a green card holder....kindly guide if u know please@@itsmyzihere
@@Sam-c8h7z hi, I might be wrong as pathway 6 is not one I've looked into in depth, but from what I know pathway 6 is for those who don't meet the eligibility requirements for pathways 1-5, so if those pathways don't apply to u can go for pathway 6
2024 year I scored 630/720 in NEET UG ...yet I am not selected so I took a drop I am preparing for 2025 for NEET budding future I want to become a doctor in Australia right now I am 19 years old can you tell me step by step process like how to become a doctor in Australia

when you say national medical schools , are you referring to Indian medical schools?
Manik sir, one question !

I wanted to ask, that the score is valid for 7 years, but i read that to you have to get permanently certifoed from ecfmg within 7 years, and for that to happen, one has to complete at least 1 year of residency.

Can you please explain this??
Can the international medical school be of India , For eg like AIIMS and others
Can i apply even if my medical school is not listed in wfme?
no
Yes! Wfme is the cherry on the top, but not a necessity. You would need both wdoms + sponsor notes though.
At the age of 33 can I apply. I have a good hold on my knowledge and skills.
Awesome share
