Dude, you and your channel are a god send man. I have watched literally every single video here and that too multiple times. I got my friends watching this channel. Hell, even my rents know about this damn channel and they're not even in medicine. You have something beautiful man. I honestly can't wait till a complete dirty USMLE full study guide comes to fruition and people say "yeah I'm studying UFAP-DIRTY." I hope you make an insane amount of money. This work of art deserves every penny.

I make very little from youtube. i wish i made more, i have a ton of loans to pay off :( Thank you tho

[@uncletim1660]

This is incredibly useful. Thanks for taking the time to do this video!

Dont Fucking Fail the test .........I love this guy

[@HT.100]

I am about to be (hopefully) a non-US img. Everyone tells me I'm a fool for even thinking about giving the USMLE, let alone applying to surgery(I wanna go for neurosurgery or plastic) Your video definitely showed me that those people were right. Someone like me has to get 20-30 percentile score than a US graduate with at least 15 publications. I don't even have one. Should I cut my losses now and aim for PLAB or Australia. I am from Pakistan and people here already have a really hard time getting a visa to USA. Add everything else on top and should I just abandon my dreams? I know people from Pakistan who did go abroad but they seem to be decrease in no. each year.

[@DirtyMedicine]

the realistic truth is you'll never match Plastics/NS as a non-US IMG. I'm just being realistic and I don't mean to discourage you. You should choose a different specialty if your goal is to match in the US

[@HT.100]

@@DirtyMedicine Can I first try to match in general surgery and then later try to subspecialise in one of these specialties. Is that allowed in the US?

[@michaelvalenzuela7723]

@@HT.100 You can do that, there are several non-US IMGs that take the independent plastic surgery route. It's not that you'll never match plastics or Neurosurg, but its 99% unlikely that you will based off stats. There are a couple non-US IMGs in integrated plastic surgery (where you match straight into plastics), but these guys did 2-3 years of Plastic surgery specific research at an institution associated with a plastics residency.

[@HT.100]

@@michaelvalenzuela7723 this research, was it done at an Institute inside USA or can it be outside? Can I go into plastic or neuro if I first somehow manage to get into general?

[@bronxbomma718]

HT my classmate was an img who did his neurosurgery after toiling in general surgery. It’s doable but takes time, good contacts, solid credentiAls, and a lot of patience. He just graduated last year at 40

[@kshitijpasricha9391]

A very helpful video. please you are request it to make a video and on how to match into surgical sub specialities

[@jawadfarooq1]

thankyou lovefrom pakistan

[@maytebryce5542]

Regarding research, does it have to be surgical research? In my country, research in surgery is very hard to come by so I have been publishing articles on cardiology and pneumology (since I want to match to general surgery and hopefully then get into a fellowship on cardiothoracic surgery ) Thanks!

[@direwolfbd]

Hi Dirty! Thanks for this amazing video! Quick question: You said to give talks in a group setting that we can put in our resume, can you give an example of what group settings we can give these talks? Are these like to attendings and residents during rotations or more like conferences? Where we can apply for these if so. And what section of eras can we put these in?

[@penelopemartinez9260]

Pleaaaaseeee do one about pediatrics I love your videos!! ☀️🧡☀️

[@HassanKhan-HK1811]

Can you add one section for FMGs and IMGs and can you do anesthesiology as well please?

[@y.kowshik8063]

Hey man !!! Ur work so good man!!!..absolutely loved it ❤ 💕 Please do a video on which is best residency radiology or surgery program

Thank you

[@learnteach2learn729]

I have been watching you for a while and I liked your video on line weaver plot but I cant find it anymore..can you please reload it or do.another one. Please

[@yesno-pd2ld]

Can we have a video on maths. I m mean the entire calculation part is USMLE step 1 like volume distribution, GFR, Stroke vol, biostatistics etc

[@swatikab4350]

So according to this data, non US IMG can match into general surgery with an average score of 236,right? Then we can go for cardiothoracic surgery ?

[@amoghkilledar3078]

Hello maam im a student currently .. Have you matched recently..? Will u please guide me

[@Sama7941]

This may seem like a silly question but in relation to IMGS, when they speak of work experience and volunteer programs could you give possible examples or suggestions of what I could do. Please help. I will be graduating in 2022 and would want to start my preparation now as I know it’s going to be a long journey. As of now I’ve done nothing in terms of research, work etc so I’m starting from scratch.

[@DirtyMedicine]

Work experience means actual employment. Research includes things like published case reports, bench research, participation in a true project who’s only goal was research.

[@zuluking18]

DirtyUSMLE, can you do a video for EM. Thanks :)

[@castrodagoat5842]

how different do you think things are going to be now with pass/fail score, im a non us 3rd year thinking of applying to general surgery

[@MrSuperhenry101]

The hours and pay for general surgery are terrible. You'll be spending your entire career taking out gallbladders and appendixes. I think you did a great job talking about the initial appeal of surgery in med school ("everyone wants to be a surgeon") but most people drop it once they rotate through the surgery ward during year 3.

[@DirtyMedicine]

Objectively speaking, the adjusted pay per hour worked is on the lower end for all specialties. However, the absolute value of the salary that surgeons earn is still quite high.

[@folumb]

That is for people who REMAIN in general surgery. Increasingly, more and more people continue on to fellowship after general surgery residency, doing things like surg onc, HPB, pediatric, colorectal, MIS, transplant, endocrine, trauma/acs. All of these require you to be more academic, have slightly better lifestyles (except transplant) and better pay.

what's a do student

[@aishahkhan4846]

Hey, can you do one on OB/GYN, please?

[@IMResident_IMG_Indian]

Loved it.... Sir , I'm an Indian student in 4th year....I scored 242 on Step 1 in my third year ...... What are your thoughts about me matching into Emergency medicine or General surgery.... Please let me konw

[@anonsome5215]

You have the step 1 score but you now need us clinical experience, connections etc.

[@naveenbadshah4339]

hey bru have matched?

[@capsclok]

Can you make a video on how to match with those "lifestyle oriented" doctors? I am also looking at Rheumatology/Derm (recommended by my family physician). I had no idea about the projects and papers I should be writing. Thank you for opening my eyes to it. Step 1 is in a week. I will donate shortly after :)

[@bagamias-hula]

[@yesno-pd2ld]

Can we also have a video in molecular biology like adenine guinine and cytosine ... I never know what and why it comes first and second what comes. Like start codons and stop codons

[@adeelcrimson]

💯

[@dongfai7456]

Can we have a videos on molecular biology. I read the kaplan didnt understand anything. Like uworld give a codon sequence and tell which should have come like AUC,AUG ETC. I would also like to suggest you to take donations in cryptocurrency. Like bitcoin. Once the bitcoin reaches high again i will send you 1000$ worth of bitcoin if bitcoin reaches 20,000$ back again

[@Ampeehoo]

You should get rid of you bitcoin now when it's worth something, trust me bro it won't last
