I faced a lot of hardships joining a fellowship in USA after coming from residency in a govt hospital in Delhi. But it got better. The benefit of doing recognized fellowship for preferably 1-2 years in USA/canada and then joining AEP is that you get ACGME or equivalent training which is a prerequisite for a lot of US state licenses even after you are board certified.

[@ayushikhede9089]

I am 3 Rd medical student in india and I wants my pg program in India but after I want licence in Canada how I can get😅

[@codingtiger290]

Do we have to do residency again in the USA after doing fellowship? Or you can directly practice in the USA after fellowship

[@ayushikhede9089]

@@codingtiger290 it's depends on you what you want to do

[@mikegrili391]

I am not sure when Dr. Rajeev did his fellowship in Canada but today, getting a fellowship if not Canadian or US residency trained is not easy with the exception of some Middle East countries where the trainee is paid by their government and not by a Canadian hospital. Also, a trainee is required to go back home after completing the fellowship. The US is somewhat easier once you complete both step exams but again fellowships are reserved for mostly US trained doctors and to a lesser extend Canadians.

[@IMGSecrets]

Occasionally, we encounter individuals who miss the bigger picture. Obtaining fellowships has never been easy, especially with the requirement to return to one's home country. This is why mentoring and guidance are crucial to ensure you receive the right support and direction www.IMGSecrets.com

[@honestea]

Dr. Rajeev keep up the great work…

[@thaznimarasheed9535]

Sir i hope u reply my comment im just confused which is better australia by amc or usa by usmle which has better worklife balance

[@IMGSecrets]

Both great countries...ultimately depends on what you are looking for. A comparison video will be released soon www.IMGSecrets.com

Hello Dr Iyer! Thank you for sharing your own experience which is inspiring and also so many informative videos for us IMGs. I want to know in your opinion if I am eligible for the Alternate pathway to American board certification. I’ve done my mbbs from Seth GSMC/KEM, Mumbai and my 3 years MD Anesthesiology from Bombay hospital, Mumbai and both are MUHS certified places.

[@IMGSecrets]

In general yes but limited information to comment www.IMGSecrets.com

[@BaytoBurgh]

@@IMGSecrets Thank you 🙏

How to apply for fellowship program in Canada after mbbs from home country???

[@IMGSecrets]

You would find research fellowships appropriate for you and send a strong application seeking for a position www.IMGSecrets.com

[@clausilvashimamura7076]

Thanks so much. In order to get that pathway in USA.. you need a high score in the step 1 and 2? Or as the same as the residencies.. a person who fails the first attempts will find much teouble to match into a residency.. in this casa passing is the most important than the scores?

[@IMGSecrets]

What pathway are you referring to? If alternate entry path, USMLE scores are not considered typically here as the candidates already have an outstanding CV www.IMGsecrets.com

[@pradeepjanardhan4111]

Sir can your experts help to get a clinical fellowship in Australian without AMC exams?

[@IK-fg4gw]

@@IMGSecrets but people say getting a match is difficult

[@oz822]

Dr. Rajeev, during the AEP, is one paid throughout as a fellow ? If we are doing Fellow/attending position are we paid as a Fellow or Attending ?

[@IMGSecrets]

If the candidate is a fellow, they get paid as a fellow and if they are an attending then as an attending www.IMGSecrets.com

@IMGSecrets sir ,so only paid jobs will increase points on getting PR for doing residency in Canada as an IMG ?

[@emanabdelrazek5578]

What about a pediatric surgeon based in Brazil? Can I get an alternate pathway?

[@IMGSecrets]

Pediatric surgery is highly competitive. Without knowing your background, in general, whether you can get in would depend on many factors like your background, opportunities, etc. www.IMGSecrets.com

[@drabhishekjoshi2809]

Sir I’ve doubt is DNB internal medicine doctor eligible for alternate entry path ? Or only MD eligible.

[@IMGSecrets]

Either can be ok, it depends on how strong the candidate is www.IMGSecrets.com

[@user-zl4hf4vj5w]

Hi sir , I was having doubt that minimum how many days living in canada (doing observership or Internship) to eligibility for getting Canadian PR as an IMG?

[@IMGSecrets]

To our knowledge, Doing observerships does not give eligibility for PR www.IMGSecrets.com
