Dr , hello, I’m a general surgeon in Costa Rica, I did the step 1-2 and passed them , but more than 7 years ago, 1st question,,, do I have to do them again 😢, ???!! I have 10 years of experience as a surgeon (general surgery) 2 nd question,,,, do more than 1 fellowship, dude , that’s crazy, 1 in Coloproctology and another in colon only, example ,,,,kind of difficult,,, to Be accepted,,, 3rd and last question, is it true that in Florida they need general surgeons and MDs in general because they are in need of Doctors?! So they are accepting foreigners?! Thanks Doctor

No state in the US will let you get the license to practice in its state without having residency. 2nd no employer will offer you a job also.

[@Betelgeuse732]

@@travelcamz Of cource, they will be working as Uber drivers(need a driver lisence), at Mc Donalds or may be as hospital attendents. Very few lucky ones may even be working as sugical tech, coding reviewers, or in Dr's office as NON-CLINICAL employee. I also know a few who are working at a "community Hospital" as "chart reviewers" for insurance coding (creative coding to up code) and one poor soul who is an Operating room tech : they can't even work as "physian assistants. PAs will need to pass their exam and be liscensed. Otherwise, long prison times, fines and deportation for you and heavy fines and prison time for those who employ you wil be the result (if you get caught). Don't fall in this guy's trap😥😥😥😥😪 A US surgical subspecialist.

[@travelcamz]

@@Betelgeuse732 are u joking?

[@Betelgeuse732]

@@travelcamz No, it is the reality. Without a US lisence , you can't examine a patient .For writing a Rx, you need NPI number and/or DEA number which you can't get without lisence. If you use someoneflse's numbers, it is fraud and will be in trouble with law enforcement. If you are lucky, you may get to work as a research asst, or office asst who can't get involved in patient care. Once, we had an Indian Dr with out a lisence (or USMLE/ECFMG), he worked as receptionist (front office), couldn't take a history let alone change a dressing. Another issue will be malpractise insurance for you and the "employer" If you are here on an institutional arrangement ( University to University for specialised training), then the host university will get you a limited liscence to work under them with insurance coverage as long as you are employed with them. With that, you can't work enywhere else. The "chart reviewer" and "surrgical tech" storry are TRUE , the surgical tech work under the operating room nurse to hand instuments . SO, buyers beware 😥😥😥😥😥😥🙏🙏

I have a question; there's some sources that suggest or claim that you can match into research fellowship as IMG specialist, without being ECFMG certified. Is that true?

what about the salaries ? can you talk about salaries of non board certified doctors

[@rawan7002]

Thank you for this great informative video. I have a question though. What if you start your residency somewhere else and then decide to continue your medical career in the US without finishing that residency? Would your one or two years of residency help you match to your desired program? of course along with all other requirements. For example if you already started ENT residency outside the US but then two years later moved to the US and finished USMLE and did some US clinical experience, would your two years of residency in ENT help you match into an ENT residency in the US?

[@Shattap680]

What about fellowship after MD from my country?

[@ashkalil1]

Thanks for the info but i reality it is a blind end, unless you have EFMGC and did a residency , no fellowship program will accept your application. Both of the residency and the Fellowship program use the application through the ERAS. and it is also very competitive and offers one or two spot per year. Even with doing a strong research it does not guarantee to get in the program because still you do not fulfil the requirement to get into the program. Very few fellowship does not use the ERAS but still very to almost impossible to get in. In fact to work in medicine in USA you need to be a licensed board certified, unfortunately this is the only way.

[@MalkeAsaad]

I personally know many who did fellowship without residency in the US and got amazing jobs.

Even if you get coverage, God forbid that if you get sued; the pliintif's attornry will bave a field day and don't expect the jury will be sympathetic to you at all. You will end up in some remote places with Medicare (federal) and medicaid (State) patients (very poor reimbursement for medicaid, medicare is a little better) , un-insured patients or in an Indian Reservation! If your licence is provisional/ institutional (ie. restricted) you are limitedwithin the scope of those restrictions, (specefic institution , under supervision etc) and won't be allowed private practice.
