About ICMR projects.. Can you please elaborate the requirements for it? I completed my internship earlier this year and I decided on taking up USMLE 2months ago and I'm preparing since then. Will it be helpful if I take up ICMR project now?
Hi sir ... Thank you for the great information... I would like to ask how is it there for general surgery? do they give the residency in general surgery in usmle?
Sir, please clear my doubts.. 1) If I pass step 1 and fail in step 2, do I have to write step 1 again in the next attempt? 2)How much validity is there for step 1? If I write step 1 in my 3rd year and step 2 in my final year, will it he accepted? 3)What exactly is step 3? Is it easy to pass? I heard from friends that, we have to go to USA and practice under a doctor for some months and later he would give us a grade or something like that.. Is this the step 3 process? 4) And I heard if we pass step 1 and 2, it's almost done! Step 3 is not a big deal. Is it true?
1. If you pass step 1 and fail step 2 ck, you will only need to rewrite step 2 ck, not step 1 again. 2. Step 1 score is valid for 7 years. It is possible to write step 1 in 3rd year and step 2 ck after final year or later. 3. Step 3 is the final step of the licencing process and is not considered for the residency match. It can be given during your residency. But if you want to apply for H1B visa, it is necessary to finish step 3 before match day. 3. You can give step 3 during residency. It is only necessary to pass the exam and scores dont matter.

Prakriti Jain yes 7 years,.... you can apply for fellowships .. but it’s very individual for different programmes . So please check with individual programme websites.
I would want to know what subject did Lakshmi mam match into. Because yes as she said we can get matched against all odds the branches that we should hope for or be wary of should be discussed.
Without Mr Richard brown I would still be in abject poverty struggling with life. that’s the greatest testimony gotten so far after years of great loss here on TH-cam, I do thank him and I am grateful
Thanks for this video. How long is medical school and what do you mean by the third year? Do you mean halfway through medical school? That's if it's 6 years as I'm assuming?
Sir what about Step 3??? Also if I give step 1 in the beginning of 3rd year, I can’t give Step 2 ,3 to 4 months after that obviously because medicine and all subjects are in final year so I think best time for step 2 would be beginning of internship??
Ansh Kedia Hi. Thank you for the question. You’re right and hence we suggested that these exams should be scheduled to your convenience. If it doesn’t fit according to our recommendations then there is nothing to worry about. It is flexible. Giving Step 2 CK in internship is a good idea but be sure to revise Step 1 concepts before you prepare for CK.

Electives are kind of like hands on experience which you can do in hospitats of USA....similar to doing internship in a Indian hospital...it is preferred to do electives in USA since it gives a opportunity to get LORs from US professors which are considered during match
@@nightcorehime419 What is The Best Time For Electives and If It is similar as we do in Indian Internship..So Do we have To Do In total 2 Intership Or We Can Skip In India And Then Perform Our Internship In US?
@@ayushkumarsingh1053 Basically to increase our chances for getting into a residency program in USA, electives are a must.... At least 3 months of electives in required in USA.....you must note that you can't do electives after graduation...so you should do it before you graduate...ie while doing internship in India...take a 3 months leave and do your electives in USA.....try to get the letter of recommendation from professors there...it is also a must....after that come back to India and complete the remaining days of internship......the best time will probably be during your internship...yeah you would have to do two internship...but if you skip Indian internship you can't graduate.....
What is the concept of giving electives towards end of the internship , internship is of 1 year and we can not leave the country in internship , are they saying that we have to complete our internship and then go for electives ?
Dr Lakshmi is such an optimistic 👍
