Hard24Get said:I don't know about the others, but I didn't reply because I don't know a lot about IMG residency stuff, as most of us on this thread are still in training. I think you might be better off posting in the IMG residency forum. I don't know about the legalities, but I think your scientific background might make some places more forgiving of your foreign education. Still, you would likely have to repeat your residency in the US as far as I know.
People also may not have replied because your summary of your training so far was self-congratulatory, and also put down the programs most of us are in by suggesting we are not going to byears of work e "real" MD-PhDs.
Lastly, yes, your grammar was wrong. Instead of "How much does age matters for getting residency place?", it should be "How much does age matter in obtaining a residency position?"
With these three reasons not to respond, you being Iranian is beside the point (anyway, didn't you say that you're British now?).
If I were you, I would work on growing thicker skin, as America can be harsh. You already reading into things this early in the game is a bad sign for someone who wants to make a life here.
Good luck in your endeavors
