    I wanted to ask for your advice on a few things:
    1. How can I secure US Clinical Experience (USCE) in surgery? Any specific programs or contacts you'd recommend?
    2. What steps should I be focusing on now to strengthen my application for a surgery residency match?
    3. I've heard that doing a year of Emergency Medicine residency can potentially open doors for a surgical residency. Is this a viable pathway, and what are the pros and cons?

    Hello doctor . Thank you for taking the time out to make this video and explain the different pathways. I had a question and would highly appreciate it if you could answer it. I did step 1 and failed once but on my second attempt i passed and i also took step2 ck and got 250. That being said i was wondering what would be my odds of matching into neurosurgery as a non-us img with these results.

    Hi Asaad ,I hope you are doing great ,I would like to ask u ,that I am an old img ,I have completed and passed the general surgery residency program in my country,I am thinking to start usmle journey ,but sometimes I think as an old img there are almost no chance to get match in surgery as most university prefer new young. graduate.
