Hi SDN Anesthesiologists,
I hope you are doing well, it has been a while since I have posted here, I had been busy with my board graduation thesis completion, had premature boy twins on November 1st, and moving to another teaching center in Baghdad, and beside lots of headaches!
I was discussing with a colleague an hour ago, and he said "why you don't apply for a fellowship in the US, since you are American citizen?" - I didn't know if there is a way !
Then I started searching online and found some programs those are non ACGME fellowships !
Are such programs real? Non ECFMG or USMLEs required?
Do I need - literally - to be Einstein to get accepted, or work hard on myself to be Einstein minded? lol 😀
If it is true and as an American myself, have to ask direct question, but again as a desperate dreamer Iraqi guy have a tanker load of questions? Which one come first!
I am open to answers, yet I don't mind if I got depressed or disappointed too; life is pretty whatsoever here ! - being sarcastic !
I found these links, with quick searches and I believe there are plenty too and I believe they are pretty competitive - technically my IQ won't go beyond 100, but I can promise you to make it 101 if there is 1% hope to get from the hell-heaven like here. Please try not to underestimate 1% - it means a lot to me even if it is a white lie (I accept the challenge to uplifting my feelings in such hell)!
Let me show you these links:
anesthesia.ucsf.edu
gme.medicine.uiowa.edu
medschool.cuanschutz.edu
www.nationwidechildrens.org
What do you think?
Sincerely,
Amir
P. S. Excuse my ignorance !
