Great video. But House MD did not use any charts or lists - he just bursted out his diagnoses, oftentimes without any reasoning 😂😂. You’re infinitely a better teacher (perhaps a doctor) than House !! 😅😊 Dr. Eric Strong is another excellent doctor and TH-cam channel.

Each of Dr. Lijia’s videos on this channel is very insightful and gives sound advices. They’re also well thought out for the contents and very well presented with her voice and tunes, together with the setting and the ambient music. I watched everyone, even I didn’t need to know IMG side of thing 😊. Wish she had time to add more videos along the way of Residency, Attending, and beyond. Maybe that is the question that I can ask: ‘would you have time to add new videos?’ 😅

Thank you so much❤ you are an angle

Yeah shes pretty good

She knows her stuff listen to her shes telling the truth

The graphic at 3:45 was interesting.

I am 24 years post medical degree in india working now as health officer in Chennai. I have clinical experience. what is the chance of me being selected for health care administration post in usa

Hi Dr. LIjia. I am wondering if you are available to help US student for their residency PS? Thanks.

Hi Dr Lijia, I'm Dan song, from Shenyang China. I just watched your wonderful video and I'm so exited to find a person like you. I need some help if you don't mind. I'm 46, graduated from medical school in 2001 in China. I moved to America couple years ago and got green card now. I've been working in a small internal clinic for 4 years as a medical assistant. I passed step 1 and step 2( 240) this year. Now I'm preparing the OET test and application for residency program. My question is: Will the working experience in a small clinic help? Will the recommentation letter from my boss there gonna be good enough? Do I need to find a intership or observationer program in a hospital to jion now? I'm so exited and grateful while I'm writting this message to you and looking forward to see your advice. Thank you!

The background music gets really annoying really fast.

Thank you so much to your kind advice😊

Thank you Dr Lijia

Thank you Dr. Lijia. Grateful ❤

Thank you

Most ridiculous thing I heard is that IMGs may have more time to prepare forgetting most of them still have their country's exams to deal with

Through this high quality video, I can see Dr. Xue is a very passionate, thoughtful and caring person, and exemplary as a model for medical students who apply to match with a residency program. Really appreciate it and look forward to seeing more of your videos 😊

Hi Doctor Lijia, I watched this video (and all your other videos) when I was applying for a surgery elective at Stanford Medicine a few months ago. Thank you so much I won't be able to finish my PS writing without your help. Today I got that elective offer from Stanford! I want to share this good news with you and express my gratitude. Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing all the knowledge. You really helped a lot of stressed students. Hope all is well with you!

Hi, thank you so much for this informative video💕 Please are prospective applicants required to use American English or British English in their personal statement ?

This was so helpful. Thank you.

Hi I am an older medical graduate ( YOG>10 years). However I have done psychiatry residency back in UK and have passed MRCPsych. I am currently doing a 2 year fellowship in the US. I applied for psychiatry residency this year but only got 3 interviews despite 7 years of psychiatry experience and 4-5 publications. It’s January now. Wherever I have been interviewed consider me as a strong candidate. I have sent recent LOI to most of the programs I applied just a month ago. But did not receive even a single interview. Is there any chance now ?

With the new section in ERAS to discuss challenging and/or significant experiences, would you still recommend addressing something like a low step score in the PS or would it be alright to place it as a challenging academic experience in that separate place within ERAS? Thank you!

thank you so much!! this video is incredibly helpful. as someone with ADHD, the template you provide has provided the foundation I needed to start writing. I appreciate you generosity in time and sharing your own personal statement (which is great btw--i would want you as my doctor)

Thank you Dr. Lijia for your valuable insight!

I loved your personal statement! We're you able to keep this PS under one page?

Thanks doc,so helpful

Repeating a preclinic year how much does it affect our residency match

Dear Doctor Lijia I wanted to ask, is there any harm in using 4 LORs when programs ask for 3?

Thank you Dr. Lijia for this valuable information and thank you for sharing your PS. This helped me tremendously 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you so much for this video!! little did I know I could help my LOR writer with a list of patient names

Thank you for sharing.

Loved going over your personal statement with you. I don't know if I missed this detail, but could you please tell me how many words your's was? Mine is currently 800 words. Will that be okay?

6:14 Minor rant here, there are so many programs that employ YOG cutoffs, that older IMGs find it extremely difficult to match. The assumption that old YOG = you didn't practice in the meantime is extremely unfair and super frustrating, and frankly it is a lazy way to filter out applicants.

The structure you're suggesting makes a lot of logical sense for a good persuasive essay, but the feedback I keep hearing is that EVERYONE will be using a similar format and writing a persuasive essay is not a good way to stand out. I'm in the process of writing mine now for IM and the whole idea of "show don't tell" really can get hard. I'm trying to stick to using my own unique voice and telling a story no one else can tell. I know my experiences make me a good IM candidate, and it's just about what story do I tell that would stand out as interesting? On revision number 3 and have totally overhauled it to make it sound more unique. I have to believe that hearing something different - as long as clear elements of why you're interested/good for a specialty are there - will be what helps you earn an interview over someone with similar stats. I know no one is going to read this I'm just trying to hype myself up lol I hate this process so much. But we're better for it I guess

This video was really helpful, thank you!

Hi Dr Lija! Can an img match without USCE with good scores?

You forgot to mention nepotism!!! the most important criteria!! connection!! connection!! connection!! make that link back home through friends and family and you are good to go!! end of story!!

Thank you for sharing your skills. it really helped

I have clinical rotation in my home country for 2 1/2 years of my medical degree. Should I put this on my CV as well as USCE?

More videos please.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Dr

Thanks you, a lot of invaluable information. I'm from Colombia , I've already done an anesthesiology residency program in Brazil ( São Paulo, HC University hospital ), I am to take step 1 in August , then I'd like to do an observership, 4 months of USCE.

Thank you so much Dr lijia. I am pursuing match 2024 and the only problem I am facing is the absence of USCEs due to not getting the visa. How do I overcome this flaw in my application

Please post more videos!! They’re super helpful and I think you have a lot to share ❤🙏🏽!! Personally, I’d like to know what you’ve done or would’ve done to retain all the information we’re suppose to learn in medical school. Thank you!

Thank You, dr. Lijia for such an informative content. I’m non US img, YOG 2003. Was working as general practitioner in my home country till 2021. My step 1= 241, currently preparing for step 2 and 3. Working on USCE also, resident of US. What are my chances for matching internal medicine residency?Thanks ahead.

Just wow!! Can't thank you enough.

This was really informative and this will help a lot of students. It was a really good idea to explain it with your personal statement. I'm eagerly waiting for you next video. We appreciate your help.
