@sarah Adam: please don’t discourage IMG who want to accomplish their dream. I am one of them and I ended up getting into residency training 6 years ago. My first language is french , I did all my medical training in French in Africa. I learn English by reading book and watching stuffs in English. People told me that I couldn’t make it but I did . To pay my bills while I was preparing for these boards exam, I worked in factories and sometime in Nursing home as Personnal support worker. I agree with you that a lot of IMG don’t get into residency program. But it is better to try and be positive. Now I practise medicine here and I am happy.
I really appreciate what you are doing Dr Webb keep up with the good job.
Al Bo thank you so much dear You made my day... I’m from DRC myfirst language is French I did my primary and secondary school back home and I studied English for year abroad and recently graduated from medical university... I’m preparing for USMLE
Merci beaucoup pour votre encouragement ☺️
Wow that’s amazing! Congratulations! I’m so proud of you!!!
Al Bo Thanks for your words .please I will need guidance ,I am a third year medical student from Ghana
hi I am a final year medical student from Nigeria and I will guidance. I will be very grateful if you will assist me based on your experience. I speak English very fine
How to get in contact with you?
All the IMG attendings I’ve had were brilliant people with really high board scores
Somewhat true. However , in my hospital in NY, there are a lot of FMGs in our anesthesia program. I am on the commitee that allows residents in and It all depends on the student and their work ethic and board scores.
3 Anesthesia & Me what are “FMGs”?
@@keilaarroyo7941 Foreign Med School Grads. I will talk about FMGs in a later episode on my channel. You should subscribe, to check out when I release the video.

FMG = foreign medical graduate
3 Anesthesia & Me Don’t sell crack to pay off your student loans. $50,000 worth of crack isn’t worth it. Just kidding
How tough in your opinion was it for the FMGs to get in that anesthesia program? How many seats were there available and how many were for FMGs? And lastly, how many were for DOs?
As an international student, these tips are definitely appreciated. Thanks Dr. Webb!
No problem!
Thank you very much for a much-needed video Dr. Webb
You’re very welcome thanks for watching!

Hey Dr. Webb, was wondering if you could make a video on what students should think about when ranking the programs for residency after picking a specialty, especially a surgical specialty.
Should you go to one with the best reputation? What if you don't like doing research all the time? Should you take into mind if there are any fellows at the program, possibly taking away from the potential cases you'll be able to operate on? If you want to apply for fellowship yourself what are some things you want to keep in mind when selecting a residency?
I know you made a video before on why you ranked your program first, but was wondering if you could elaborate some more. Thanks, great videos as always and immensely helpful!
Yes please ! This is a great suggestion
Thank u for this video
Your welcome! 🙏🏾 thanks for watching
Thanks very much Dr Webb for you wonderful contributions to helping medical students and IMGs all over the world. I would love to contact you Sir, how will I reach you,I need your advice on a particular issue Sir. Thanks a lot.
Thank you
Can you do a video for DO students?
Thank you dr webb
You’re welcome Asma thanks for taking time to watch!
@@antoniowebbmd keep posting! Your videos r amazing!!
Can you do a video for AMGs, because it is confusing for us in these times and it seems like everyone assumes we actually have help...
Hi Dr Webb, thank you for video. Im a final year IMS. I dont have any clinical experience in USA. In these pandemia days can i do electives while many schools just stopped it. And if i can’t, how can i compansate it after graduation? Thank you.
Could you make a video on how the process is if you are already a specialist?
Is clinical experience in US compulsorily needed for an IMG(should i work there for a year) or can we go about without one.Does it affect our CV a lot ?
What’s the difference between MatchAResident vs. Freida?
Can you do a video for matching into competitive residencies as a D.O.?
How about competitive matching as a US student with a low board score
Hi, Dr. Webb. I love your videos, by the way. So I am an American born and raised gal who is a foreign medical graduate (soon). I have heard from many physicians that American citizens that are still IMG's have some more edge over those who must be sponsored visa-wise. Have you heard about this?
I would like to know this too. I am a U.S. citizen but plan to do med school in Mexico bc it is free since I am also a citizen of mexico.
@@lauragarrido4866 Sorry for necroing this thread, buuuut.... If you want to be an MD in the US, your best bet is to follow the path that all doctors follow in the US: Undergrad => MCAT => Medical School => Match (More than 95% chance of matching). There are plenty of scholarships and grants available for US citizens. Otherwise you won't have enough time to study for the boards whilst in Mexico; school here is very, very hard; you will be constantly chasing a high GPA, whilst in the US a LOT of MD schools are P/F, so class rank is nonexistent.
Can a person apply to different specialities? At the same time
Do u mean medical students or graduate? Can I match with 10 years post medical school?
What if you don’t have the option to choose where you do a particular rotation?
How can I apply to a clinical rotation if I'm an IMG?
How can an IMG rotate at the program they would like to apply to?
Hi if I have a specific question is there a way to message you directly?
How hard is it for an img to match into John's Hopkins?
How can I get a clinical genetics residency ?
How exactly can one get clinical experience as a Non US IMG, say for getting a residency as a Neurosurgeon. Also approximately how many years of clinical experience would be required for having a fair chance of getting a Neurosurgery residency?
Well there are 2 types of US clinical experience. One is hands on, which you do before your MBBS internship. You get proper clinical experience in this one. The other is an observership in which you cannot touch a patient, you just shadow a doctor on rounds . Once you do internship the only option is observership . You have to mostly get your usmle step 1 done before USCE. Some programs do allow to without it however. You have to invest 10-15 lakh in this, so I suggest only consider if step one is done and score is good (240) . Typically 6 months to 1 year is good. You can even do a research based one in places like John Hopkins. You will have to take a break between mbbs final year and internship to get the hands on clinical experience, which is helpful for step 2 as well!
P.s. neurosurgery is well compensated but working hours and emergencies suck. So you might want to reconsider for something more laid back if neuro isn’t your absolute passion
@Mrinmoy Kundu score better in step 2 CK obviously. Once you pass step 1, that is the next most important criteria. The importance of research is now increased. Also, you should work hard for strong letter of recommendations during clinical experience.
@@LplusRatioLol could you pleasee explain what exactly I should do? I'm a medical student in UCMS Delhi (2nd year), then what should I do in sequence pleasee
@@user-tp5qu7zu2l Get good scores and letters of recommendations from your teachers, write as many research papers you can and publish them in medical journals but keep studying for USMLE and get more than 240 if you want a good surgical residency thats it and its not necessary but US clinical experience looks good on CV. The most important part is research papers and USMLE scores so prepare accordingly.
how to find programs that are IMG friendly for US citizen?
Hi :) I am unsure about the following. You can apply for residency while you are in Med school, correct? Before you graduate Med school? But you have to have finished all 3 USMLE steps first? Or can you apply before you finished them all? I apologise if my question is too simple. I am an international General Medicine student and are now gathering information on how to apply for residency programs in the USA. Your videos are very useful, by the way. Thank you very much. :)
Sorry please have you gotten answers.. Because i have Sim questions
My daughter is a doctor in Nicaragua. 6 month she will be coming to USA. I want to know what she needs to practice medicine in USA
How much does it cost to apply to residencies?
What medical school did you attend Dr. Webb?
Would US citizen IMGs have a better chance at matching into a residency than International IMGs
Yes, watch the dirty medicine video, it has a very detailed video on this topic
It is going to much harder starting in 2020 when MD/DO residency merge is official.
How about nurses?
What area of orthopaedic surgery are specializing In?????
I’m specializing in spine!
to apply for a competetive specialities,do i need a very good score in medical school?
Medical school marks don’t matter but clinical experience and step 1 score does
If you need help with the match look for us on facebook. Facebook page: facebook.com/MDtoattending Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/ResidencySuccess
I think you guys need to stop talking about IMGs and residency because it depends on the individual and the type of school. I am a final year student of St Georges and I scored 255 on the step 1, a friend of mine at Meharry scored 238. Stop the bias!
He said that! You need high scores but they aren't everything.
What do you mean by school exactly? Like I'm from Turkey and will my school change a thing? Ps. It's accredited.

This dude is an inspiration but why not cater this information towards the black community? White people already have a head start and don't need anymore motivation. You've already made it. Why not position your work and focus in spreading awareness to the black youth?
I guess when you do things for profit, you forget where you came from
Dorian Terry wow what an embodiment of a bigot.
LMAO what a troll.
Btw, you do know there are other races aside from white and black, right?
