How To GUARANTEE Your Residency Match (ALMOST!)

[@kifropu]

Thanks for this, I'm definitely getting a subscription next cycle! You guys helped my friend match this year.

[@matcharesident]

We're glad to hear that 🙌🏾

[@kifropu]

@@matcharesident Do you guys also help with the SOAP application ?

[@carter6203]

Usually people don’t talk about matching so I’m glad somebody finally did this

[@MalkeAsaad]

I have posted several matching experiences

[@onebuffalo5402]

Step 1: Get in the 99th percentile of Step 1 Step 2: See Step 1.

[@zeeryos102]

Dr. Parker.. Thank you for all the hard work and motivation you are providing to residency candidates, especially IMGs. We really appreciate you.

[@MalkeAsaad]

I have posted several matching experiences especially from IMGs.

[@rachelmauldin9053]

Perfect timing for this video!! I am submitting my application in 3 days!! Thank you!! Super helpful!! P.S. Love Match a Resident! Total lifesaver!

[@matcharesident]

We're glad we could help :) Good luck!

[@justinc1482]

Did you get in? If so, what type of program did you get into?

[@dzikijohnny]

What happened?

[@yeshayem6274]

Through this video u can see why Burk is neurosurgeon. It’s very easy to listen and understand him

[@anariondanumenor9675]

Dr Buck! We still waiting for 3 part of Choosing Med Speciality based on Personality!

[@christiangutierrez4462]

This is actually pretty amazing

[@palomiichimplin2855]

Omg finally 🙌👏🏽👏🏽 🇪🇸🇪🇸 proud

[@DrAdnan]

This seems like a much needed software program!

[@greatarabia8091]

I went to the website and put the shittiest scores possible and still got over a thousand matches. At least make your scams believable and don't destroy people's lives for money. You can delete my comment if you want. I just want you to know.

[@DoctorSpicy]

Great Arabia الدولة العربية العظمى ur correct

[@ddb868]

Seriously? Is this true?

[@dibyasattwakarmakar]

Thank You , Sir 😊

[@sanshoots]

Ooo this is cool! Loving the content! 🙏🏽✨

[@maadyk]

Hey Dr. Buck, I've been following your channel for a while now and love your videos. I'm a non US IMG and am planning to take Step 1 next year. I really want a neurosurgery residency in a good University program. Do you think I have a decent shot or a shot at all for that matter?

[@drbuckparker]

Madhur Khullar def harder but not impossible. Will depend on your step 1 score in my opinion:)

[@MakeOneSora]

Madhur Khullar also since you’re a Non-US IMG, you need to get USCE (by electives or externship)and get strong LoRs

[@MalkeAsaad]

I am posting a video about that next week with a resident from Mayo Clinic

[@uruba-5326]

Hey @Madhur, I'm a non US IMG vying for neurosurgery too and I keep being told to let it go. Are you still pursuing this dream or changed directions?

[@maadyk]

@@uruba-5326 I think a lot of it will depend on my step 1 score and CV. I do think that it's next to impossible, so, I have gradually become open to the idea of completing my residency in other branches. I do feel that with a good enough score, General surgery is possible to get, as hard as that might be. After that, maybe I can try for a lateral entry. But, again, I'm now open to doing non surgical fields as well. I'm planning on giving my exam this December so I suppose we'll have to see. What about you? When are you taking it?

[@kifropu]

Do you guys also help with the SOAP application ?

[@aqulisbellphd5219]

Thanks Dr. Buck.

[@annalisawilson7694]

Oh, I didn’t know I had so much help (we all don’t) and support already. Go ahead and run me back that refund then, and I will let my colleagues know not to bother since we have so much support already.

[@katemichelle]

What do we do if we are in the first class with a P/F Step 1? 😅

[@imbored4615]

Very helpful It's indeed very difficult to find infos on this stuff

[@MalkeAsaad]

I have posted several matching experiences especially from IMGs.

[@drpooja1175]

Thank you.. for this valuable information..

[@mohammedaljobory6042]

I have a question , how many electives do i have to do ? How much it lasts ? Whats the best time in college to do it ? And whats the best time to do the research , in college or after graduation ? And is it mandatory in usa ? And how much does it cost ( elective : neurosurgery ) , and researches ? I hope you answer it , because I'm really confused .

[@savagemedic30]

Awesome

[@anaos1004]

I have a couple of red flags, I'll be applying as a non us img for the first time this year. It says on MAR that I have 62 compatible programs. Do you think I should apply only for these ones and try my luck on soap or even next year after I better my CV? Thanks

[@Scott-is2cb]

Hey I'm curious. What are your thoughts on acute care surgery taking over trauma surgery or will trauma finally be recognized as a board certified speciality? Sure would be nice if that happened and they expanded trauma in terms of operations you can do...but I dont think that will happen. Looks like trauma will now be acute care and maybe progress into shift work? Since this has to do with residency selection seemed like a good time to ask.

[@phantomstrike4949]

Can I knew how to join medical school after nursing college graduation from UK 🇬🇧 ,

[@squirreleyy]

A couple of my friends at my Irish medschool finished their degrees (including Nursing) in the UK and then decided to enrol in the Graduate Entry Medicine program - 4 years. You will probably have to write the UKCAT to gain admission. That's just one option.

[@abimbolaabiola2506]

Hey Dr Buck, watched a lot of your videos when I started my USMLE Step 1 prep cause as a non-US IMG, I needed lots of information and they were very helpful. Looking to get into a general surgery residency program with a step 1 score of 252. What do you think will make me competitive enough? Thank you.

[@MakeOneSora]

Abimbola Abiola you need to get USCE and 4 LoRs. And yeah a good score in step 1 and 2ck will increase your chance of matching into a General surgery residency Good luck !!!

[@adelez66374]

@@MakeOneSora what is USCE and LoRs? Please explain

[@jeetamd22]

Abimbola Abiola LOR is letter of recommendation which you can get from teaching hospitals where you do rotations

[@jeetamd22]

A to Z Medic LOR is letter of recommendation which you can get from teaching hospitals where you do rotations USCE is US clinical experience

[@MakeOneSora]

Abimbola Abiola just like he said , Before you apply for a match you should get us clinical experience in form of either electives (if you’re a med student) or externship (if you’ve graduated). These are programs offered by hospitals to get hands on practise in the US. Another important thing is that you need to get atleast 4 letters of recommendation from these programs. Hope this helps :)

[@filiz5837]

But.. what will happen after the score system of Step1 changed? It'll be pass/fail so how will Match a Resident adapt this??

[@MalkeAsaad]

I posted a video about that

[@armandodominguez2431]

Does Match A Resident helps you filter based on desired fellowship? Like in-house fellowships.

[@oluwoletoyin2191]

Is non USA clinical experience suitable for the residency match?

[@The_Kirk_Lazarus]

What about for comlex scores?

[@jeoboden]

Anything like this for dental students?

[@rachelmauldin9053]

Maybe I missed it... But how many programs do y'all recommend US citizen IMGs apply to?

[@matcharesident]

As an IMG, we recommend applying to at least 100 programs.

[@rachelmauldin9053]

Match A Resident ® thank you!

[@MalkeAsaad]

It varies based on your application and goals.

[@jason_dkke]

Im barely starting first year of college to get my bachelors in biology🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@lorenzoramirez2084]

same good luck

[@snorlaxcom]

Better get straight A's. Bio is the easiest science degree.

[@HHSMCJROTC]

snorlaxcom to say straight A’s aren’t necessary would be a vast understatement. Dr Parker didn’t have anywhere near straight A’s. I could contribute with my far below 4.0 from college, too. Stop putting out misinformation.

[@freshbaseball2380]

snorlaxcom assuming you have degrees in all the differing STEM majors to make this call? Smh and I agree HHS
