Hatsoff to manik for maintaining his accent throught the video

[@farwakhan4423]

I jumped when I saw this video. Thank you for making an updated video on this. Hope to see more updates yearly if you can manage. But seriously thank you. Most of us who're giving the exams are not from a good financial background so it's very hard to pay for 3rd party services.

[@yohannesgirma2]

Thank you very much. This video clarified a lot of things for me. I love the channel.

[@Bhuji]

Hey Manik can you share your List of Attended Electives, Observerships. I was wondering how to time the Electives, say i am doing my MBBS and take my Step 1 in the Third Year of my Undergraduate course, then at what point do i Travel to the US for the Electives? What was your Schedule? It would of great help if you shared your exact journey or perhaps if have already made a Video on the said, you could link me to it.

[@Jas_arts]

Thanks sir

[@rkbirla]

Hey Doc, you've provided a ton of information and resources in this video. I appreciate your efforts in elaborating on different perspectives of USCE. But there are a lot of gaps in this information as well. You've gone through the topic superfluously, and by that, I'd like to know more about research experience and publishing papers for the program. Will it be an excellent topic for your next vlog? I'll be waiting for that video. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

[@rachnamalthumkar6774]

Sub internship >>electives > externships > observership > research fellowship

[@jaysinhjoddha1744]

Hello Manik Madan sir , did your Kims medical school has a VSLO subscription or you go for electives via non VSLO method , I’m just want to know bcz my medical school not subscribed to VSLO pathway so please tell me via which method you go for electives in new York and Chicago?

[@vrindaprakash-nm7hz]

Very informative

[@gokulakrishnan1301]

Thank you for such a broad explanation 😊 I have one query, After completion of Research fellowship, How can I get into the specialty and what will be the salary in specialty training.

[@usamaasif8095]

Please tell about Tele Rotations !!!

[@pandeyjeeratan7956]

Good evening sir

[@InternetInsight]

Manik, what did you mean by undergraduate and graduate? like based on your home country education it's better to be undergraduate or based on US model. also did you do your USCE after graduationg or before graduating? and what were your electives? did you get a sub-internship? thank you for the video mate..

[@jagdipmadaandr]

Until Last day of internship you are student and kids delay one last month internship to do rotations

[@InternetInsight]

@@jagdipmadaandr is it really that hard to do electives after your graduate so much so that students delay their internships?

[@jagdipmadaandr]

@@InternetInsight then you will be graduate and will get observership

[@jagdipmadaandr]

@@InternetInsight easiest way is to extend internship

[@InternetInsight]

hey, did you do any work or clinical rotations back in india? also is it necessary to pass one's country medical license exam to be a resident in US?

[@jagdipmadaandr]

Thanks you very much

[@brianmurguiabay8298]

Thank you Dr. Madaan

[@marwamagdi2587]

can you talk about what to do during a rotation

[@sriva517]

Can you be more clear about what you meant by graduates and under graduates for students in India? And what is the time we should do our clinical rotations?

[@SebnemEgriboyun]

Dear Dr. Madaan, thank you for all your helpful videos. Your channel is a great source for IMG's. I would like to ask a question and would be very happy if you could share your thoughts: I am a US IMG interested in ophthalmology. I realize how competitive it is so I am looking for postdoctoral research positions to improve my chance of matching. I was thinking of working in a basic science lab but I have heard that clinical research can be more beneficial (My friends have told me that quantity>quality of papers when it comes to the residency match). I was wondering if you believe this is true and if so; how would you advise me to go about looking for these positions (e.g should I directly contact PD's, physicians)? Thank you very much in advance, I wish you the best.

[@manikmadaan]

clinical research is far better than basic science research. build your research CV, write a few case reports and than contact faculty from esteemed institutions in opthalmology

[@Candii_Kisses]

[@hamzaalexander5431]

Manik madaan due to financial constraints I cannot have clinical rotations in USA . But do clinical rotations in your own country matter or what other countries clinical rotations does USA recognize ?

[@sahilaryaman2402]

Are research electives available to graduates too? Cause anudeep yekula in one of your videos claimed that he did research after graduating. Love your work BTW

[@BakrAhmadMed]

Thank you Dr.Manik for this great video. I have a question is internship considered post-graduate? Because I was wondering if still easy for me to get a Hand-on Elective (not observership) as an intern in my country?

Can these USCEs be done post step 1 only or can one look for observerships before step 1?

[@reharahim879]

Is it necessary to complete the 4th year exam (not internship ) before going for electives ? .. most of the elective programs mention completion of “core clerkship”… does it mean the same ? … I am getting really confused !

[@ranaali1391]

How much do we pay the VSLO as an individual student to do the electives ? Not the 800 uni subscription fee I mean student fee for the electives ?

Hi Manik! I am graduating from MPH Epi from UIC, Chicago this month. I did my MBBS and MD (Fam Med) in Delhi. I am planning to do USCE. I have good contacts in university hospitals in Chicago. Is it possible and advisable to do USCE with doctors who have never hosted IMGs for USMLE? Should I only look at the traditional places/doctors where people usually do USCE. I am planning to target family medicine and internal medicine in Illinois and Michigan for 2025 match.
