USMLE: How Dr. Ishit Matched into a General Surgery Residency | Zen of USMLE

Congrats! He is humble despite his success. Best wishes to you

[@relaxationsoundsambience2724]

Exactly! The humility is everything! The world needs more of these young humble and inspirational geniuses:))

[@abdullahwaqar7859]

Great man I was looking for something like this video that could make me clear about "no surgery for IMGs" thing. Dr. Ishit was great to hear from. So inspiring! I m in 3rd year student from Pakistan. Gathering information about USMLE would be so hard without this channel. The videos not only explain things in the easiest way, they motivate too. You are doing great work Dr. Manik.

[@vaibhavmjain1997]

Hi, Dr chauhan said that he got in elective while he was intern in india after his fmge, does that mean after returning to India from china with a degree, he was still considered as an undergrad? And hence eligible to apply for elective?

[@gopikrishnan6844]

@@vaibhavmjain1997 During his internship in India, he was still an undergrad because he extended his graduation of his degree(from China) nearly about 1 year. Hence he got electives as a med student itself! For more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJe9hKWpi7tlptU

Just to clarify, i feel the title may be a bit misleading He matched into a Preliminary Surgical Position (not a full year categorical position) He got into PGY-2 preliminary position, but after that he was not able to match. As of 2022 he is not matched, and has an uphill battle There are certain limitations of a surgical preliminary program which this video does not address.

If I have to get into July 2023 residency then I have to apply for interviews in Sept 2022, so by then my yog gap would have been almost 2.5 years, do you think it’s a red flag? I’m going to start my preparation for the step 1, right now I feel like I’m on level 0 with my knowledge, for a person like me do u suggest I do Kaplan videos or boards and beyond ( I have not studied anything related to step 1 in the past and Whatever I have learned in mbbs I don’t really remember anything. Could u please suggest what is better for me Kaplan or BnB or should I do both ?? So that I can finish my preparation in a reasonable amount of time and also get a very high score.
