My question is once I am Canadian board certified, how can I eventually work in USA (I will try to give usmle steps to be ecfmg certified as well in the meantime). Many thanks
Great! Before you dive into the whole USMLE writing process, we suggest having a chat with us. We can help you explore other potential paths that might let you skip the USMLE altogether. If this works out, you can save a ton of cash, time, and avoid all that exam stress! To set up a chat, you can book an appointment on our website at www.IMGSecrets.com.
Thank you for your insightful video. I’m due to finish my training in the UK in Obstetrics and gynaecology and would like to move to the US due to my fiancé living in the UK. I plan on applying through the alternate program and wondering how I would get my 2 years experience. I would be grateful if you can elaborate on how to get a job. Thank you
Thanks. In my opinion, there are two options for you. 1. To get in a clinical fellow into a University/Hospital that offers ACGME accredited residency or fellowship in ObGyn and 2. Simultaneously you can also apply directly to alternate entry path program. Comparing both, my guess is you are more likely to be successful with option 1 than 2, but never hurts to try.

Thank you dear Dr! I am obstetrician and gynecologist and final year fellow in infertility nd reproductive endocrinology in Ethiopia with additional 3 month training in ivf in india. So is alternative pathway possible for me? If so, how? thank you!
Thanks Dr Rajeev for this enlightening video! I am a OB GYN Resident in Brazil and I will finish my residency program next year. I am searching abou the alternative pathway in ABOG website and they say that one of the elegibility criteria is that: "The length of training must be at least four years" but here in Brazil our residency program lasts for 3 years. If I submit to a fellowship program in the US, the years of practice there can count for me to have this 4 years of training or they demand it to be exclusivelly from my residency program here in Brazil? About the USMLE certification, do I have to take step 3 as well? Thank you very much
Hi Dr Rajeev , i’ve seen in the ABS website that they require that you have your general surgery full license in the US for 7 years regardless of your years of experience overseas to be eligible for this pathway so i assume it’s not 4 years program like anesthesia? Thanks a lot

Hello. You're telling about some links below about different resources, but there are no links in the description. Can you make links in the comments for all of us, please?
There is a pathway for Internal Medicine. However, to be eligible for that pathway, an IMG must already be experienced and working as a full-time faculty in USA or Canada! A very different concept from what I have described in the video!
Is there any Alternative pathway for Australian doctors who are FRACGP? Or what universities may offer ACGME alternative pathways for family medicine specialists from the Australian Medical Councill?

Hello Rajeev I have specialist training in Internal Medicine (CCT) from UK. Is it possible to work as consultant in USA? I may have specialist recognition in Canada in next few year, how will it make my prospects in USA? BTW I have not taken USMLE exam, does that make any difference? Many thanks.
Dr. Izih, In theory it is possible to work as consultant in the USA. You will have find a place that is willing to hire you directly! USMLE & ECFMG is a mandatory requirement. In Canada, you could apply to approved jurisdiction route. Once you are Royal College certified in Canada, moving to USA will be simpler than moving directly.
Dr. Anu, since you are UK trained, a good option for you may to be get into as a Clinical Fellow. This will help you explore next steps. Nephrology is a specialty with many IMGs (lot more than many others)
Great video Dr Iyer. I am a pathologist from India, recently moved to PA, USA. I came on a dependent visa i.e do not have a work authorisation. What route would be best for me. Clinical research or pharmaceutical industry? And How do i get into work sooner without having to wait till next march for the H1b lottery. Thank you very much.
Dr. Femy, you will need a job that will sponsor a visa. You could explore research fellowships/jobs in pathology departments. Pharma is an option but not easy to get in and unlikely they would be wiling to sponsor a visa!
@@rajuangoth3529 Congratulations, Dr. Raju, on your MBBS completion! For clinical work with patients, the USMLE is required. However, if you're pursuing a research job, the USMLE isn't necessary. Nonetheless, it's often a stepping stone to clinical work. www.IMGSecrets.com

@@abhilashamaheshwari8439 The answer would depend on what stage you are moving at and how your experience at that time is. Typically once fully certified do not need extra things! www.IMGSecrets.com
We recommend IMGs are better off having USMLE while transitioning to the USA - makes things much easier than without www.IMGSecrets.com@@abhilashamaheshwari8439

@@IMGSecrets i have alrdy spent 3 yrs for prepping UK exams to get GMC registered but now i think i should have prepared for US instead. So i thought i would prepare for it while working in UK instead of being back in India. Atleast that would add on to my CV for working in a western world country.
