What are the USCE options for post MD Non-US IMG wanting to do Anaesthesiology residency in US in the coming future? I heard about observer-ships, any info on that? I am not eligible for electives as I am already doing my post graduation (MD) in Anaesthesiology in a foreign country. TIA.

Hi, I’m an international medical student about to start my last year. Currently I’ve not made my STEP 1 and I’ve read about the importance of USCE. I know my options are limited, but from what I’ve read, clinical electives available for me are 3000-5000 each month. Honestly that’s a lot of money...

Hello everyone, Would anyone know whether doing a clinical elective in a US-institution based internationally would reflect positively on US residency applications? For example, Cleveland Clinic London, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Cleveland Clinic Canada We're told that US Clinical...

Hey guys, I'm an IMG applying for the 2020 Match. I have very little USCE. As a graduate (2018) they're mostly observerships and externships (< 12 weeks) In terms of a LoR... I have a few LoR from doctors who have/are: 1 - Graduated from home country but did residency and fellowship in the US...

So I'm a US IMG and I wanted to pursue a residency in IM+Peds, I was wondering what rotations I should take in USCE. Should I take separate rotations in IM and Pediatrics or are there other options? Also in IM, there are various types of rotations like cardiology, etc. Which one is the best IM...

Hey, I'm an FMG entering my final year, and hoping to match into either EM or IM. I have an elective in an IM subspecialty at a good program, and am organising an EM elective through a contact at another hospital. I just got offered a Surgery Sub-I in a really great program. Aside from the...

What visa does a non-US IMG require to do a internal medicine or family med externship? If you’ve done an externship and are a non-US IMG, your input would be invaluable to me. Thanks!

Hey guys, I need some advice on if those paid USCE is worth it, I'm in a very confusing place right now. So basically I plan on getting USCE this year, but due to some SNAFU last year, I ended up with nothing, and now with graduation coming in 1 month, I will end up becoming a graduate, and...

Hi guys! This is the first post I'm writing although I have been lurking around SDN for a few years now. I'm in a bit of a situation and would really appreciate some advice. I'm currently a 4th year medical student in Ireland, and would like to apply for the Ophth match when I graduate...

Seems like every IMG on this site has scored a 250 who is getting IVs. Would like to hear the experience of those with lower scores. I had a disappointing 219 on step 1. I'm an undergraduate in my home country. I only want to do neurology but I don't know how much of a red flag that score is...

Hello, I am a last year medical student at a foreign medical school. I am planning to apply for radiology residency in the USA. I am in a desperate dilemma and I want to hear your reflections on it. As you already know USCE is said to be a 'must' for IMGs and I have been trying to get one but...

Hello everybody, Hope you all are doing well. I have a question regarding the US clinical experience (USCE) for IMGs. I have been accepted to do two-months hands-on rotation in surgery in one of the good university hospitals in the US. However, in the match I am planning to apply for internal...

I'm a 5th year (out of 6) Eastern European medical student, and I'm aiming to do my residency in the States. Having successfully passed Step 1, I'm looking to get some clinical experience in the US to continue on my journey. Unfortunately, it seems that due to the vast differences in curriculum...

FYI, this is an international student who plans to match IM residency. Which rotation will boost my profile most? The IM clerkship is at oncology department of MSKCC. In the same module dates, UCSD also offered a sub-I rotation at FM. They all stated that this is the final assignment, and...

Hi, I'm an IMG and I'm now applying for electives for 2017. I only have limited time in the States to do my electives, and since I got into other places, I now have one month left to spare. I'm deciding between Mayo Clinic and Memorial Sloan to apply for. I aim to get into Internal Medicine...

I am an IMG, who recently undertook a 4-week rotation through MedClerkships (www.medclerkships.com) If you are planning on applying through them, I honestly, wholeheartedly suggest otherwise. Whoever is genuinely interested in why I feel so, please feel free to contact me through this website...

My international medical school (which is accredited and accepted by the US) has an affiliation with a hospital in New York but it is NOT an ACGME teaching hospital. I am worried that doing all my 6th year core clinical rotations there may be considered unacceptable by the state licensing board...

Greetings. I'm a south american medical student to be graduated from a medical school in 2 years. I'm thinking on going to the US to do IM, then cards, and then staying there to live. I have yet to do the steps, or to have USCE so I haven't a clue of what my real chances are, but I would like...
