4 tips for matching into a competitive specialty (with average scores!)

Hi Rupa, I am an Electrical Engineer, designing things and making logical models of the eyes 👀 behavior. You are very skilled in your profession - and have my respect. But your, "world", is completely different than my world. My true connection, is you and your husband conducting life time prevention for your three children. As science, it all makes perfect logical sense, to me!

Thanks for sharing Dr. Wong. So many “take away” information. I hope we’ll be getting more videos from you.

[@DrRupaWong]

I plan on doing one at least once a week! I'm so glad it was helpful!

I’d be interested to see what other specialties you were interested in before med school or during, and ultimately what made you choose ophthalmology! 😊

[@DrRupaWong]

Will do!!

I would love to see a video all about clinical; how to prepare, how to learn the most, how to stand out, etc..!

Hi, doctor Wong! Thank you for share with us your experience! I hope to get a spot for ophthalmology residency as an IMG. Is there an opportunity to have an elective rotation with you?

[@safa2591]

Thank you so much Dr. Wong! I am an IMG and love Ophthalmology so much! I'm so happy I found your channel! I subscribed right away! :) I was wondering if you had any advice for IMGs trying to match into Ophthalmology. Are there any opportunities you would recommend to be competitive enough to apply into Ophthalmology?

[@DrRupaWong]

That's tough b/c it is so competitive. I think the IMG who have matched had a lot of research and publications and did a few years of research, developed a relationship with a mentor who could champion them through the process.

Could you do a video with an IMG or a video on tips for matching as an IMG? Thank you!

[@DrRupaWong]

I'm so sorry, but I was born in the U.S. and attended an American medical school. I don't know much about matching as an IMG.

[@amanda566]

This is so helpful!! I’m doing ultrasound biomicroscopy research in med school too (but with humans) 😁

[@ferasabourgiba1640]

Thanks doctor for the video but I want to ask you how many publications do an IMG needs to match into ophthalmology
