Thank you for checking out this video 📺

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for the comment. Your school will have electives they offer. I recommend choosing an elective in a field you are interested in. However, having an opened mind to see what other specialties offer may give you another perspective. The field of medicine has a lot to offer by he way. If your plan is to apply for residency in the US, then yes those will be helpful. See what Dr. Temu and Appiah have to add in the video. Overall, you need to be dedicated to learning. So buckle up the ride. We wish you the very best.

Thank you for checking out the video.

Thank you for your kind words, and taking time to watch this video.

Thanks for your kind words…you got this! You will be done in no time 🙏🏾

Thank you for checking out this video and for your comment. The process of getting externship and/or observership is similar. Observaship as the name suggests is observing or shadowing whereas with Externship, you get to take history and/or even examine the patients. There are several ways to get either obervership or externship. Most hospitals would want you to observe whereas most US clinics would allow you to do externship. You can personally reach out to colleagues or any physician on facebook or linkedin, family members or church members if they know of any doctor that you can rotate with, be it observaship or externship. Also there are paid observaship and externship which are quite expensive. Usmle Sarthi does it, see link in description box. Hope this answers your question.

Yes it did. Thank you so much!

In my current position, I get the opportunity to interview candidates for residency positions and that is something we look at. So it's not compulsory but it can make a big difference whether you are considered for an interview or not. I hope this is helpful.

@@dr.acquahyes please thanks😊❤

Thank you for checking out this video. Glad it was helpful.

Hello Dr I have a question...! Because many FMG students did online classes (example for 1 or 2 years) during the period of covid-19 , will that be a concern for residency/getting interviews (*if yes- then what should they do to overcome?)

I don't think COVID-19 affected only FMGs. US medical students were also affected. I really don't think this is a problem or something that will limit your chances of securing interviews. If your clinical rotations in year 3-4 went well (are going well) and you have an overall healthy application, you should be fine.

Thanks for taking time to watch the video and for the kind words. Will make room for you anytime. 🫡

Only if it's with the right person lol 😇

Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏾

I earned my medical degree from American University of Antigua College of Medicine. www.auamed.org/ My father brought me to the States.

@@dr.acquahokay please….is it possible for a Ghanaian medical graduate to work in the states with the Ghanaian cert?….and if yes is it really hard to get inside?….I’m asking because I’ll be starting medical school next year

And the plan is to work outside cos Ghana hmmm…

@lyrikalben9997 I’m glad you have a dream of joining the field of medicine. I’m working on a video with a Ghanaian medical school graduate who is now in the states training in residency. Stay tuned for that. It’s a tedious process by the way but it’s possible. More information to come.

Thank you 🙏🏾

Thank you for checking out this video.

Yes.

Thank you for being an inspiration for this and the next generation of physicians. You expressed yourself well to all and sundry. Thank you again.

Amen! Thank you 🙏🏾

Exactly, excited for the next mission 🙏🏾…Thank you 🤝🏾

Thank you 🙏🏾

Thank you much Laura 🙏🏾

We’ve come this far by faith

Thank you ☺️

Thank you for your comment. Medical school is expensive and I was able to get my training on Student Loans and EMT scholarship. I will recommend researching on the school you want to apply to, looking for scholarship and grant offers then, government students loans before considering private loans.

There is limited data on this pathway at the time of this reply. Nonetheless, after 3 years on internal medicine residency you can go into cardiology fellowship and sub-specialize. For cardio thoracic surgery, you would need to match into general surgery residency for 4 years of training then sub specialize in cardio thoracic surgery for another 3 years or so of additional training. I hope the answers your questions, and thank you for the comment.

Thank you for checking out the video, I'm glad it was informative

Thank for checking out this video and continued support to this channel 🫡

Thank you for the question. Yes they do, but you need to be a US citizen or green card holder to complete your clinical in the United States of America. Please see link for admission requirements www.auamed.org/admissions/admissions-requirements/

This is Edward. It took me 2yrs and 3months to complete my MSN in psychiatry. There are many schools out there either online or in-person but make sure the school is accredited to your State board requirements. I attended Walden University. It's strictly online for the first year and 3months then the next year and was the practicum aspect. Make sure you acquire a clinical preceptor as well. Hope this answered your question.

Thank you for your comment

Thank you for checking out this video and concurring with these strengths. It goes a long way for those who enjoy reading the comment section, and does summarize a portion of the video. Thanks.

What is your point here? Your comment is not clear but thanks for checking out the video. Let us know if you have any questions.

Rewatch the video for clarity. He is indeed a “DR” and his brother who he interviewed is a NP. You’re welcome!

People angry over here for no reason smh. The dude just trying to motivate and encourage others by showcasing minorities doing good for themselves. You didn’t even watch his video before placing that comment.

Thanks for making it clear for everyone. I do appreciate your comment.

Nurse Practitioner test is really frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after studying so much🥺🥺😓😭😭

Really, you'll know her Too? I even thought I was the only one she has helped walk through the fears and falls of NP Exam, MRS CATHERINA ALISON has brought me out of the trenches and to a better living, I encourage repeat test taker to work with her.

I'm not here to convince for her but to share my testimony for what I confirmed, she’s Trust worthy and best option ever seen, thanks MRS CATHERINA ALISON, God bless you, I've never seen or heard any of her clients has complain of failed. I think she's just too lucrative and perfect for this job

I saw someone say she's not legit. i couldn't stop laughing, really people say a lot of shit these day's

It's my first time I'm scared, I don't wanna fail😓

Thank you for your kind words. I hope everyone seeing this will get an enlightenment and come to an understanding that it is possible and not throw in the towel 🙌

It is well 🙏

Thank for the feedback. There’s been an upgrade in the audio system, so you will see an improvement in sound quality in subsequent videos. You can also use the transcript feature or closed caption (CC) which writes out everything I say. Thank you.

Please did u acquire your medical degree in Ghana?

No I did not. But Dr. Hasford did. We went to secondary school together before I left for the States.
