Hi Manik, it's really great watching your videos. I am a very old IMG passing my MBBS in 2006. I did my MD in Physiology in 2011. Thereafter I was working as Assistant professor in India and now in Saudi Arabia. Recently I passed my USMLE step-1, Step-2CK and OET Medicine. I want to apply for residency programs for Match 25. Please give me your valuable suggestion as I don't know what to do next.

[@loveyourlife6205]

Thank you Manik, you are my inspiration for USMLE, I did MBBS from China and currently I'm doing house job from Pakistan, as USMLE is expensive for me at the moment, I'm planning to do MPH from Italy (scholarship based), and give exam from there. I don't know if this idea will work, but I really wanted to do residency from the US, Hope to meet you one day, Love from Pakistan💜

[@Karan-iy5mz]

Bro how much is mph costing from Italy?

When on the timeline do we do these US clinical rotations for a better CV ??

[@YuliusHaryadi7189]

Hi! Search after you finish step 1, because most programs require you to finish that first in order to be elligible, but then, complete step 2 ck before you actually start the rotation, so you can shine when you do your rotation, good luck!

Hi! Step 3 adds almost no value to Match. Only important for visa h1b. I think the best time to do it if you want to give it before residency, is the time when you set foot in land of USA. Because step 3 can only be done when you are physically in US. Good luck!
