Good morning & Thank you for this Dr. Neil! Being an IMG- your channel has helped me a lot!

[@RandyNeilMD]

Joni, I am very glad it has been helpful. If there are any other topics or questions you think would be beneficial, just let me know...

[@jeejee77734]

@@RandyNeilMD Yes Dr.Neil, recently I’ve been having the HARDEST time with dosage calculations from pharm and mechanisms of resistance as well as genetics (transduction, transformation etc)... I’m finding it hard to understand (for starters), let alone REMEMBER 😓... I’d really appreciate it if you could do a segment on that. Thanks again Dr. Neil. 💛

[@mightymarts1820]

Thank you so much Dr. Neil, i was asked to do a draft and had no idea how to do it until i came across your videos.

[@RandyNeilMD]

Perfect. Glad it was helpful.

[@DrStayAtHomeMom]

Can't thank you enough Dr. Randy. Many hearts to you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@RandyNeilMD]

You are most welcome.

[@dr.p2992]

Perfect timing! I just visited a few of my old preceptors to ask for a LOR. They all wanted a draft. Now, I just have to make the letter drafts a little different so it isn't obvious.

[@yashpawate1306]

Thanks a lot, Dr. Neil for this video.

[@TinaOnEarth]

Thank you so much Dr. Neil for this video! I was wondering if you could make a video about what to do with an MD degree while waiting for the next match cycle (IMG edition). Or for those that didn’t get a match and were unable to get a SOAP. I am still studying for my board exams, but graduate this semester.. and have been seeking for opportunities to build my CV. I appreciate you!

[@RandyNeilMD]

Thank you for the suggestion... Let me see what I can do.

[@fegoredegbo8455]

Thank you for an amazing video Dr.Neil I am an IMG anaesthesiologist with experience in India and England . I wanted to ask if LOR s from consultants from England or India considered or I need LOR from American consultants. Thank you very much again .

[@Knstar5566]

Thank you so much for wonderful information.

[@RandyNeilMD]

Thank you Musawair. You have always been supportive.

[@akhtarkhan3585]

please make a video of statistical studies and how we can identify whether the question may give us dependent and independent variable and qualitative and quantitative variable?my exam is knocking at the door.thanks in advance.

[@obaid.h]

I'm sorry to ask such a naive question, but still asking, do LORs from native country count? Are US clinical rotations a must-have for residency?

[@RandyNeilMD]

I don't think there is anything saying LORs have to be from a certain place... Of course, an LOR from a Physician in the same hospital carries more weight than one from a Physician unknown to the program reading it. You may different opinions on whether the US clinical rotation is a must or not. Would it help...yes. Is it a requirement...not that I am aware. I do believe there certain states that require a certain portion of your core rotations to be done in 'green book' locations. That is an exception, not the rule. This is just my understanding of the up-to-date trend.

[@obaid.h]

@@RandyNeilMD Thank you so much! And your channel is really helpful!

[@iyanttahowellmd]

Great video! thank you!!

[@RandyNeilMD]

Appreciate the comment Joy

[@SutJai-v4v]

Can you please advise me on this question please??? Can I submit LORs from current employments after internship , not during internship? IMG sometimes they work somewhere else during USMLE steps studies. So, Can I use LORS from employment instead of internship? Thanks.

[@mftox79]

Can we have a video about writing cover letters. Thanks a lot.

[@RandyNeilMD]

Let me see what I can do.... I'll have to go back and look to see if I even did that... Off hand... My cover letter for a position (outside of Medicine) was always a brief 'letter of interest'....but let me check.

[@MedManiac1]

great sir! keep making such great content.6

[@RandyNeilMD]

Thank you Yashaswi. Appreciate you taking time to comment.

[@rameazzam]

i am 37 year old and applying for residency next year. what do you think about the effect of age and clinical experience (not in the US) in applying to residency. Thank you

[@RandyNeilMD]

They can't discriminate age. They would have to ask or figure it out based on if you have year of graduation on resume,

[@rameazzam]

@@RandyNeilMD dear Randy, i graduaded 10 years ago from med school and been practicing.. please if you have any informations enlighten me
