Hello, very Informative video. Thank you I have a question. Could you please clear my doubt? I graduated in 2016, then did MD in physiology from 2019 to 2022. I am now living in USA with my husband on F2 visa. I want to start USMLE prep now. Is it a wise decision? If I get good scores in USMLE, Will my application be considered ? How severely would my YOG > 5years affect my CV and Application?

[@drishtidave6627]

like so you said 25 lakh approx is requied for the usmle process, so does that recover quickly as i get paid for my residency program? like is the stipend enough for covering my living expense also

[@myearth5886]

Have u gone to usmle reading room or prepared from home ?

[@dishamandal29]

Do we get to apply to different residencies ? Like both surgical and non-surgical? Or do we just need to stick to one and can apply only in that particular specialty in different residency programs? P.S. I hope I made sense

[@dr.rashimahajan]

Yes yes. You can apply to multiple specialties. I just chose to apply to one.

[@rishikakushwah]

thankyou so much Dr. Rashi Mam! this video is really Helpful!

[@preranagodase6585]

Hello di, can you make a video on standard books to be used for MBBS 3rd minor and major . So that we can get an idea which books are to read to clear concepts for USMLE

[@susanamontoyajaramillo4579]

Also, do you know or someone in the comments places por doing electives without Step1? I have seen is hard to find it without step 1, just observerships

[@nancyrajyaguru]

Hello, actually I wanted to say that like you so many people inspire us and tell us about their journey and motivate us ofc but no one tells us about the cons, for example what struggles are there , competition, racism maybe and small small things for example about the place you stay, hostel, Canteen and how many people are there trying to make their future brighter( not necessarily but if there are any) can you please please make a video about that. It'll be so helpful.

Thank you ☺️ It was indeed a lot of work, but enjoyed the process along the way !

[@atchayad842]

Watched your video with dr.pachhel. 1. Was your 6 to 7mo of step2 prep fully dedicated for studying? If yes, how would you mention the break in your cv ? 2. Step1 preparation strategies during internship pls 3. I have no research experience. Would you rather recommend to focus on research pub during crri or on step 1? And is it possible to do both ?

[@docsurbs]

Thanks 🥰

[@atchayad842]

Can you also make a video on the tiny details that might've affected your timeline, that we should plan in advance. Ex.When should you get the college to process your transcripts ?

[@dr.rashimahajan]

That is a great suggestion. I will consider making that video in the future :)

From which medical college you did ur mbbs?

[@Kamazuuuu]

Di, this might be a very vague question, but could you please tell me REALISTICALLY how hard is it to match? Let’s say someone gets a decent score on their steps, has some extra curricular and enough electives. How much do the chances differ between IMG-friendly specialities and competitive ones (radiology specifically, because that’s what I’m interested in for now) ?

Hello! I'm Rutuj, a 4th-year FMG currently pursuing my MBBS in Smolensk, Russia. I am keen on exploring research opportunities but unsure of where to begin or how to approach a mentor. (🥲 the struggles of being an FMG) Could you kindly suggest some online research activities for me to engage in? Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on applying for clinical electives. When is the best time to apply? Can I do so before taking my FMGE exam or after? I have a two-month break during my 5th year when I can go to India for internships. Can I apply for electives during this period, or should I wait until my 6th year when I return to India for my FMGE exam? Best of luck to you as well! You're doing an amazing job! 🤝
