[@corporatetalkswithchandran4958]

Amazing way to share your experience and extending a little guidance to your Juniors

[@IshwariChandran]

😁 😁

[@rajshekar7852]

Is research (publications) is mandatory for IMGs to match into lM,FM, pediatrics?

[@IshwariChandran]

Not mandatory but it may help to increase your chances of matching at academic programs since it’ll show them your interest in research

[@aribashamsher3888]

hlo.. how one can find telerotations ...u have talked about some agencies.....any recommendation??

[@komaldiptianandmaisuriya4301]

Thanks really helpful .Which hospital did you rotate ? Or you did only tele ritation

[@IshwariChandran]

All my rotations were virtual due to COVID

[@zahramomeni4007]

Hello. I have a question here. I have problems with getting visa. So, I decided to take telerotations. They are very different and some of them are really expensive and from big universities. I am really confused. I do not know if spending money on expensive ones is a waste or I can build good connections and use theLOR from the big universities to improve my chances of match. I would be really thankful if you could help.

Hey Doc , an FMG here , I have just started my USMLE Journey and I'm already 6 months down internship, with just 6 more months to Graduate i will miss the chance to do electives before Graduating, can you give me a good suggestion on what to do now ?

[@bloomy7369]

How much it usually costs for Clinical Rotations?

[@angelonicolascaputizuniga1418]

Brooklyn USCE offers observerships with Hands On experience in private clinics, are those Externships?

[@dr.1956]

Yess

[@IshwariChandran]

Yep!

[@zaynabmansoor5265]

Is it important to give step 1 before applying to these rotations?

[@IshwariChandran]

it's better cuz it builds your knowledge base and you'll be able to contribute more. Also, some rotations have step 1 as a requirement

Thank you so much Dr. Ishwari Chandran for the detailed explanation about USCE. Really useful 👍

[@IshwariChandran]

Dr. Ishwari 😂

[@dr.ogwangjoshua1391]

Do telerotations. Do we have to put in the CV that it was telerotation

[@IshwariChandran]

I did

[@DrGurbakshSingh]

Hii Is step 1 required for applying? Also plz tell about visa status required to mention for telephonic usce

[@IshwariChandran]

Some rotations may need step 1 (differs from one place to another so you can check before applying) You don't need a visa for telerotations as you dont have to travel

[@inshaljaffery4599]

Does it matter during the visa interview to have rotations with doctore who is a program director?

[@IshwariChandran]

Hmm I don’t think so

[@UpendraVishwas]

mam how you got ur rotations , all by urself or hire a agency?

[@IshwariChandran]

Agency! Since most hospitals were not accepting students directly due to covid

[@UpendraVishwas]

mam plz name the agency @@IshwariChandran

[@dk-._.-]

Hii, what about step 3 is it compulsory before matching?

[@IshwariChandran]

Nope!

[@Arushikhaneja]

If our institution is not affiliated with vslo, how can we apply?

[@IshwariChandran]

There are places that don’t need VSLO. Alternatively, you can request your uni to apply for VSLO

[@zeerox1786]

hey...so did u get recomendation letter from ur university??

[@IshwariChandran]

Yes! Got one from the Chief of IM at my university's hospital!

[@nothingnone5605]

@ishwarichandran Can you please tell give me a list of hospital accepting imgs for electives?? I am struggling in this field now? Currently doing electives in a clinic in u.s

[@IshwariChandran]

I’m so sorry, I don’t quite have a list :(

[@pavanvakotar7584]

Did you have done any research for matching ?

[@IshwariChandran]

Yesss. I've shared the details + my whole profile here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJmwoIiZqZqnldk

[@samanvithasindhu1356]

Hyy.... I got 211 my step 1 score... Is there any chances of matching into internal medicine with better step 2 score

[@IshwariChandran]

Congrats on passing step 1! Yepp, there definitely is a chance w a high step 2 ck score. Focus on the other parts of your application as well (like USCE, LoRs, Step 3)

[@triashadutta8541]

Hi ! Could you name smfew agencies that could help with the process

[@IshwariChandran]

For usce?

[@IshwariChandran]

I only know about the ones I’ve used. Can’t quite comment one the ones I don’t have experience with. I’ve spoken about them in this video!

[@mamtamohta3496]

Mam is it possible to do residency in us after pg in Germany🇩🇪

[@khonglahdolloi4153]

Is it a good idea to apply for USCE after Step 2?

[@IshwariChandran]

Yeah!

Mam are MBBS 1st and 2nd yr books helpful for USMLE?

[@IshwariChandran]

Depends on the books. I majorly used just videos for my USMLE prep

[@bilalilyas3976]

Just wanted to get one thing cleared, how do i do electives while I am still a medical student, i mean how to take out dedicated time for USCE while I'm still in med school, how much time does one elective takes, can i do an elective when i have my vacations from med scool, kindly guide!

[@dr.1956]

During your medical school, you have summer holidays of about 2 to 3 months take out this time to do usce, or tele rotation, if you do 1 each year that's 3 usce and 3lor

[@bilalilyas3976]

@@dr.1956 OMG thanks alot , I was so confused about it, moreover, from which year onwards, should i start doing electives, since in first two years of med school, we have very little clinical relevance. In my home country we have 5 years of MBBS.

[@IshwariChandran]

@Dr. is right! You can plan it during your breaks (I did mine similarly too) Each rotation is typically 4weeks long so it's almost like 1 LoR for 4weeks You can try scheduling them based on your breaks after you complete your preclinical subjects

[@dr.1956]

@@bilalilyas3976 in this case start from your 3rd year
