Take aways 1. Step scores are important 2. Take step 3 before applying Why ? Coz of the programs board passing rate 3. Think like the program director admitting you Hmm Img , x scores , don’t know about his school, culture, will he fit here, will he pass the boards What you should do ? a) open match a resident and get your list b) look into schools img history c) your schools alumni in the program is a big advantage - ask them for insider advice / gen help d) apply to those schools first apply to many 4. Lors, personal letter 5. At electives a)Come early , look sharp, impress everyone ? Coz everyone’s watching you and all of them will be asked - how was your experience with this guy + the Sr comes 30 min early and has all the responsibility so when he sees you early too(+) b)Be vulnerable , ask for help with presentations - present to batch mates,r be good at presenting c) ask yourself - how can help this team do better Interpersonal skills, communication, teamwork etc
It is becoming more common, especially for IMGs. It is also a good way to help address potential weaknesses or red flags in candidacy (multiple attempts, older graduation, etc..). Step 3 is required for anyone on an H-1B visa as well.
I am very impressed how match a resident still answering questions here in comment section. I hope you guys offer externship opportunities soon. I am still in senior high school but I already bookmark your website I hope you can help me more in applying as non us img.
US-IMG vs non-US IMG exactly what kind of difference does that make in terms of matching? Also, is this something that I can cover with “networking” i.e. doing clinical rotations in the programme?
Completing clinical rotations and networking is definitely very helpful! Factors such as USCE, quality of medical school, and background CV experiences play a large role as well, rather than just US vs. Non-US. Obviously, those requiring visas will have to apply accordingly!
Great video! If your medschool is partnered with a US medical school like I know our one is partnered to one in ohio(they offer electives to the best two students of the class for free) and you do that elective....does that show that you have good medical school?
Hello: Thank you too much for making this video. You have recharged me! I have subscribed to your channel. I am an IMG that has graduated and now preparing to take the USMLE Step I. Going through UWorld Can you share programs that possibly allow externships? Thank you!
As an IMG in Ukraine, if I want to get into a competitive field like neurosurgery, besides scoring well in both step 1&2ck Is there anything else I should consider?
Medical experiencie in the US, get good recomendations letter (in your case i think it will be good get letters from specialist of neurosurgery). you really need this as much as you need good scores.
Yes, this is great advice by Dr. Arias. Don't forget, you will also need extremely well-crafted and specialty specific Personal Statements as well! Learn more at www.residencystatement.com
before applying for residency in U.S as an IMG ,I should take step 3...ryt so according to you how much should i score in USMLE Step 3. by the way i will be starting my med school this year
Getting a high mark on Step 3 is not as important as making sure you pass it on the FIRST attempt. Otherwise, a passing score has little relevance to programs. They focus more on Step 1 and Step 2CK scores. However, if you are aiming for a very strong Step 3, aim for 245+!
@@matcharesident can u make a video explaining all the process what it takes from usmle step 1 to match day(including electives,applying to different colleges ,ECFMG and stuff like that)
hi, I am an IMG, passed USMLE 1,2, &3, I have the green card, and I have applied for the residency program, I have failed step 1 in 2005 and step in 2016(once), so far no success, do you have any advice to help me get an opportunity?
Hi! If you are an older graduate, getting more hands-on USCE, strong LoRs, and making connections that can help you get your foot in the door with programs are all things we would recommend!
Taking Step 3 is not a requirement unless you are pursuing an H1B visa. Some programs strongly prefer/like to see Step 3 in some of the following scenarios: You are a certain number of years from med school. You have one or more failures on USMLEs. You have low USMLE scores. You do not have USCE. - to name a few.
@@matcharesident I'm a third year US IMG, but I have no idea how to get letters of recommendation or do research. I'm studying in Europe, but I haven't heard of people doing this here. I will take step 1 during my 4th year, could I possibly squeeze in step 2 and 3 before I apply to Anesthesiology residencies? Step 1 is pass/fail now, but I'll still try to do decent and put it in my CV. I really want to knock step 2 out of the park and possibly do step 3 if it would benefit me at all in anyway. I have no USCE or research publications so far and I have no idea how to get them. I just want to match into Anesthesiology and that's it, it doesn't matter which program for me, I will go anywhere that is US IMG friendly.
if i choose to write step 3 during the interview period is that a bonus for me and how do I let the different Program directors know this in a professional way during applications
Thanks for your question! The answer varies depending on the specialty you're applying to as well as other factors including where you complete your rotations (US-based is preferred by most programs). Besides rotations/clinical experience, there are many additional factors that can help you be a strong competitor for residency in the US. These include your Step Scores (including any failures), the experiences found on your CV, strong (specialty-specific) US-based Letters of Recommendation, a perfected and persuasive Personal Statement, as well as the overall strength of your ERAS Application as a whole, and more.
USCE is not a requirement for all programs. You can find out which programs require USCE in MAR Customized Lists. Having USCE can certainly be helpful, but it is not 100% necessary. You can learn more here: blog.matcharesident.com/find-us-clinical-experience/
from your experience, do residencies put weighting on the 'university Kudos' when giving places? Like, how good the medical school is, or is it all just based upon your skills, grades etc
what im referring to more is within the UK. I understand there is some discrepancy maybe with studying medicine in the UK vs in uzbekistan for example... but considering UK medical schools are very highly regarded, does it really matter if you went to Manchester, UCL or Oxford?
@@matcharesident have you heard of University of Manchester? As opposed to St. George's Medical School, or Kings College London? If you had an applicant from each of these, would you be inclined to do background checks on the unis? Do any strike you immediately as more world renowned than the other (thus I should prioritise)? which student would you prefer coming from each? thanks!
I have a doubt, basically, if you apply to match after 2022 irrespective of if you had a 3 digit step 1 or wrote in the pass-fail era, the program will see it as only pass-fail for everyone ? or show 3 digits of those who have and pass of who wrote past 2022?
Once the score reporting change is in effect, ALL USMLE transcripts will only show pass/fail for Step 1, regardless of the date the exam was taken, according to current information and expectations.
Solving a significant gap between graduation and applying for residency can be challenging, but there are several steps you can take to address and minimize this gap such as: Clinical Experience, Research or Publications, Observerships and Shadowing, Volunteer work, Educational Enhancements and Networking.
The USMLE score tends to provide IMGs with an edge in the program selection process. So for IMGs that have the confidence of scoring high in the USMLE will lose that chance when the scores convert to pass/fail but then the focus will be shifted on the USMLE Step 2 CK and your entire application most likely. Your basic sciences and clinical grades will most likely matter (if applicable). If you are an achiever and know well that you will have a high USMLE step 1 score then take it as soon as possible and apply this season (2020-21) if possible.
Hello, I'm a 4th year medical student in Europe. I graduate in 2022. I hope to take step1 before the pass/fail score format is brought in. How would my step 1 score be interpreted in my application (3 digit score vs pass/fail) taking into consideration I will be applying for residency after the pass/fail change has been implemented?
Zubair Mughal Saudi medical student here. I thought to do the same thing, but from what I remember post 2022 residency programs cants see your step score even if have one. If you have solid information that I am wrong please share.
As we understand it, your Step 1 Score will simply be presented as a Pass or Fail (including the number of attempts) in your USMLE Transcript without any 3-digit scoring.
How much YOG is too much to apply in ophthalmology in US? For ex., is doing a residency in family medicine in Canada (2 years), then doing USMLEs for one year, then applying the next year too much? I Graduated in 2020 in Canada
Ophthalmology is a highly competitive specialty that is not typically very IMG friendly. It also requires high USMLEs. An IMG would need strong specialty specific LoRs in addition to being a relatively recent grad (although we do not have a specific year, since each program is different. B/c ophthalmology is not very IMG friendly, we do not have data nor minimum requirements for such programs).
Can you please explain and advise how to get a visa. I know Syrian IMGs who are scared to go through the whole process (very expensive) but get rejected from getting the visa in the end
Unfortunately, obtaining a visa is an extremely intriquate legal process, and one that we cannot provide direct advice for. However, you can read this article for more background information regarding the J1: blog.matcharesident.com/j-1-two-year-foreign-residency-requirement-physicians/
"If I received a 3-digit score on my Step 1 examination, will my 3-digit score be visible on paper and ERAS transcripts after Step 1 outcomes are reported as pass/fail?

This is what is given on the official USMLE site. but it is contrary to what you are saying. Please clarify.
In the time since posting our previous reply, the USMLE has confirmed that exams taken before 1/26/2022 will be reported numerically. We've also updated our original reply :)

As a Syrian IMG, it's extremely hard for me to get a visa to visit the U.S. (I got rejected) long enough to do an externship before applying to residency. Would you recommend that I go straight to applying to residency programs that are IMG friendly?
We highly recommend speaking with the ECFMG as well as an immigration attorney for more information regarding this extremely delicate and complex subject.
is there a limit as to the number of residency programmes you can apply to? Like to do you get only 5 options, or can you just send an application to every residency programme there is lol
There is technically a limit set each year, although it is close to about 600..? (please verify with ERAS for exact number). However, it is unlikely many applicants reach this number. It is also unlikely for applying so broadly to be more effective than more strategic targeting: www.aamc.org/news-insights/how-many-residency-applications
Hello, it will not matter. Once Step 1 goes P/F - all USMLE Transcripts will report all Step 1 Exams as P/F, even if you had a 3 digit score when it was originally taken. ***UPDATE*** When the USMLE initially announced the change for Step 1 from numerical scores to Pass/Fail, it was thought that numerical scores would be converted to Pass/Fail when reported.

The Match A Resident answer is: All candidates have a chance and for that reason, there are no restrictions on the year of graduation by the ECFMG or official organizations. Yes, it is challenging for older candidates but there are different aspects of your application and clinical preparation that would make your year of graduation less noticeable to the programs. Some programs actually purposely choose to have at least one older candidate in their program. Prepare well, pay attention to your Letters and personal statement. Apply early and choose the specialty that best suits your situation.
