  • 💡 Here's a video on how long it took me to obtain my scheduling permit! It really shouldn't take this long, but it took me a long time because of my diploma's delay. Hope you all get yours way faster than I did mine.

    • @SarangChoiMD
      @SarangChoiMD  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This will depend on what your status is at your school. If you haven't graduated yet and are still considered a medical student, then you won't have to submit a diploma.

      Hi Janelle! :) I started studying in Sept 2020 aiming to take the exam in December. However, as you can see on this video, I didn't get my scheduling permit till March. Hence the delay in everything. So my preparation strategy went from dedicated mode to non-dedicated mode and back to dedicated mode roughly 2 months prior to my actual test day.

    Hello Doc! Does ASMPH have a good support po ba for those who will want to take USMLE? And is there a good amount of alumnis na po ba working as a physician in US? Bcos I heard connections really does matter when getting a Letter of Recommendations for matching.

    • @SarangChoiMD
      @SarangChoiMD  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! ASMPH currently has a good number of alumni doing both residency and fellowship in the US. But since our school does have a short history in general, the group is definitely smaller than that of UERM. UERM has a larger and a more active group that helps its alumni. (me and my classmates were also able to gain insights from their group haha)

    Hello doc. I applied for my step 2 CK exam and for the diploma section, I chose the option which says I'd be sending my diploma along. After completing the application, I uploaded my diploma via ECFMG credentials upload section.
    I've heard it takes around 45-90 days for ecfmg to verify credentials while it takes them 2 weeks to accept the exam application.
    I want to take the exam in the next 3-4 weeks.
    Would they issue me the exam permit prior to verifying credentials? Or would they send the permit only after the credentials (diploma) have been verified?

For example- i submit my form 183 in August 20 and my eligibility period is nov -feb.

      Hi Nina! The MSPE is needed when you're applying to residency. So it's not required yet when you're taking the STEP exams but will need it by the time you'll be applying for residency.
