[@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.

[@harishpanchaksharaiah9979]

Dr Madaan, thank you for all your very helpful videos on USMLE for IMG

[@Dr.TalhaKhan]

Why everyone talks about Internal Medicine ? Can't and IMG get into surgical residency ?

[@aonabbasbaloch]

if one go to usa for electives for 3 4 months then what about mbbs studies and proff back in home country ?

[@Exploretheexperiece]

thanks for your honest sharing

[@mudasir_mukhtar]

Omg superb video editing😯😯😯

[@Gauttej]

Excellent information. Best wishes to you.

[@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

[@MahnoorWaqas-u6e]

I’ve heard that they don’t consider observerships as USCE and they’re practically useless for residency match?

[@idressaghaslab5381]

[@226tejavenkateshwars9]

When to do clinical rotations in USA? After mbbs or during internship in India?

[@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

[@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

[@rachnamalthumkar6774]

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

[@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.

[@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 ?

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.
