Same process. You will have to give usmle and try to match into the residency of your choice. Indian PG is just considered as 2/3 years of work experience.

[@prateek5123]

Sir some people's say that by Jan 2022 usmle sows only pass/fail in the step 1 not scores. If it's true how scores will be matters?

[@sharpenedpencil1806]

The step 2 CK score will remain for now, so that'll matter more

[@chiragn6972]

Wonderful video sir as usual u have taken so much of pain in presenting the content in an organised way , sir one genuine question I really want orthopaedic surgery or a radiology residency in USA and people all around say it’s impossible for an IMG to get Orthopedic surgery residency programme no matter how good ur CV and scores are is that true sir? Match percentage of IMGs to Orthopedic surgery & radiology residency is very less compared to internal medicine because seats are more in internal medicine, so is it worth taking so much trouble in spite of knowing the fact that ull not get ur dream branch? Please clarify this sir 🙏

thats a huge gamble you have to take... those residencies is insanely competitive .. you have to be the best of the best ...

Can I balance NeXT with hardcore USMLE prep since stepping on two boats is the only option I have here?

[@biswaroopjoarder8135]

Boneteacher Yes Sir, I have gone through the podcasts. They said do not prepare for NEET and USMLE together. But with NeXT, there isn’t any option. That’s a bit worrying. Though chances are that NeXT will be a bit like USMLE maybe?
