53:00 From 1 to 31 😳😲 That's incredible. Perhaps the team can interview her more in detail. What are some things she worked on to improve herself besides communication skills.

Great video.. Under current rules p/f system (that is after Jan 2022 ) how many attempts of usmle step 1 an IMG can take? How does this effect during match?

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Fail will definitely impact match chances but can be done. We will find out about attempts

[@shaikwahidasulthana]

@@usmlesarthi2024 ok thank you so much.

[@shaikwahidasulthana]

Can match be done at any circumstances?

Is it possible to contact you on telegram?

[@dvitishah23]

I failed in my step 1 exam and also don't have any research experience during my ug. I am an indian medical graduate. I want to do my pg in pediatrics. What are the chances I can match for pediatrics program there? If I pass in the 2nd attempt? Like should I even re-attempt? Because I have read that chances are negligible if an img has even 1 failed attempts in usmle. Pls help.

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Attempt makes it harder but not impossible

If I am ecfmg certified, can I apply for a residency or fellowship even after 7 years of taking mle or do I need to retake mle again? Is there any advantage of being ecfmg certified??

[@usmlesarthi2024]

if certified you are good to go even after 7 years

[@alishanr]

Does volunteer experience mean only in the US? Is volunteer experience from an American hospital outside the US valid?

[@usmlesarthi2024]

There is no invalid experience.
