Firstly, Big congrats, Malke! This is a huge achievement! Inspirational indeed!
What's your year of graduation?
And If I'm doing basic research now, not clinical, is that a minus thing?
Matching into competitive specialities could take years, I could bet that you could have matched into medicine years ago if you wanted! I know it's worth the wait of course, but how bad is it being an old grad?
I would appreciate it if you could give me a quick answer till you make a detailed video.
Thanks and Congrats again. Mabrook.
Any tips for resources and references to study from?
I am currently a first year student and studying anatomy from netters atlas and Gray's anatomy.
For other subjects what should i choose?
Big fat congratulations !!! you've worked really hard and you made it , you are really a sustainable source of inspiration for me 🥰🥰😂😂😂
I am currently studying medicine in one of the countries that are going to lose thier ECFMG accreditation by 2024 which will prevent me from doing USMLE step1
The issue is that i am stil in my very first semester , and by that time i will have just finished my 3rd year , my question is
Should i start studying my courses curriculm before my I study it at college
, is that even possible ???cause I will have to cram 2 semesters in the other 4
thank you for your consideration and it would a lot to me if you answered my question ,,
Abdullah
As-salamu alaykum brother and congratulations. I want to ask one simple question. Can we do electives after the graduation? You said that electives can be done when we are medical students and after graduation we get only observership. So is there any chance of getting into electives after graduation? Please answer my question. Once again congratulations.
Oh
Your scores are not only world class, but world beater level, congratulations Brother. 271,272 👍👍👍
Thank you
One indan score 271 also, 🗿
Yeah, but he matched into internal medicine. His score is amazing. Did he volunterily chose it. Or were the research and volunteering work not sufficient ?@@alex-R16
You are an outstanding applicant, Dr. Asaad. This is a richly deserved success. Congratulations!
Dr Asaad, I just found your channel and I am so happy I did. I'm a Canadian studying medicine in Ireland and I will be applying for residency in the US and in Canada. I'm in first year and I'm already looking at the process of matching as an IMG. Thank you so much for the videos you make, they are very informative. In a few years, I hopefully be making videos about this whole process as well!
Amazing video as always! I really look forward to your uploads. Congratulations on matching! And thank you for doing this, it's really helpful and informative.
Congrats!!! Proud of you man!! You are inspiration to all IMG's.
Congratulations on all your hard work and matching to one of the most competitive residencies in the USA. Having just posted my first ever TH-cam video on matching, it was so much effort! Much harder than plastic surgery!
Big congrats !
I a have turned on the bell notification for this channel, because i am looking forward for the tips on how and where to start research!
Best of luck !
Your story just tells us everythin is possible with hard work, insistance and good planning
I'm so glad for you dude. Not only an inspiration to me. But to many who pursue a career like yours but in also(thanks to you) in a healthy balanced way.

ماشاءالله عليك 💜💜💜 دايما هناك اناس محبطين أثناء الدراسه والتقديم انه لا يمكن لطالب طب درس في الخارج ان يدخل المجالات الصعبه نفس جراحه الاعصاب او التجميلي ... لكنك تعبت وبمجهودك اثبت انه يمكن ... شكرا على الايجابيه والالهام ... الله يسعدك في رحلتك المهنيه 🙏🙏🙏
Oh My Oh My. Congratulations mate 🥳
Great work honestly!
Thank you so much for making this video,.
First of all I really would like to congratulate you for accomplishing this, i know it's quite exhausting and hard journey for an IMG yet you did it and for sure the future is still ahead of you
my question is:
when it comes to research and electives, one of the most important part of doing them is having a very settled financial statement which definitely has a HUGE impact whether in making dicistions or paying for electives.etc, so how much it cost you to do all that?
Again contrats
Great video! Very inspiring!
wowoww ! Congrats ! from an ER doc ! Amazing !
I was really motivated with your video. Can you make a video about how to timeline the US Clinical experience? Thanks.
Good luck with your future training. If you may, please make a video about how to be productive during research.
Congratulations doctor !!!
Heartiest congratulations! I dont know you but I'm so happy for you! MashaAllah!
Congratulations man you deserve it!
Can you share tips regarding visa acquiring and how to avoid rejection for Imgs?
thank u so much and alf congratulations again
Congratulations Malke
You are a true inspiratiom
Heartiest congratulations young man
MashaAllah, well deserved 👌🏻
Thank you for all the useful videos you’re doing for IMGs, Malke. Congrats, you definitely deserved this spot.
Would you please talk more about the US clinical experiences in your future videos.
Next week!
Congratulations!!
Congarts , you deserve it mashalla
congratulations, well done
just keep sharing sir. thanks
Ma shaa Allah congratulations
Wow that’s a great feat congrats😀
Congratulations on matching looking forward to take USCE as well but I am taking another way into residency by working in surgical field as surgical assistant. If your hospital looking for a certified SA in future you can recommend me as I will be certified by ABSA as SA-C
Congratulations!!!!!
Congrats, sir.
Congratulations 🎊
how did you get the virtual rotation through AMO or through another better way ? thanks for the video it is great
You did a great job doctor , congratulations
Please I gonna suggest some topics that really matter to us as medical students or doctors want to continue their journey in US, and do not be like many other TH-cam channels that saying the obvious all the time, so :-
1- how to get a research positions ( and especially online positions regarding these COVID-19 pandemic)
2- how to get electives and its costs (like literally 😅 where should I start )
3- how to write CV
4- visa status and how to choose a suitable visa type
Thank you and good luck 👍
Thank you! For detailed advice, please schedule an individualized consultation through my social media platforms
Dr Assad, can you please do a video, elaborating more on virtual rotations?
Interesting video!!!
Congrats!! You did a great job… I want to ask you how much time did every step of this journey take ? Because I can see you have done a plenty of huge achievements … Also, I want to ask about your visa status which might be the most important factor for IMGs (especially the Syrian ones 😅)
Good luck
amazing!! how did you find the time to do all of this? I study in Jordan and we barely get any breaks between semesters so Im stressing about being able to leave to the US to do clerkships without missing out on uni..:/ any advice?
I’m not even going to watch the video because I know the answer:
“Yer a Wizard Harry...”
yea but how do you get electives during COVID? I got 258 on STEP 1 but now everything is closed
Please do Dermatology img
congrats Malke.
could you please share impact of your visa status on residency ?
First of all congratulations Dr. Assad for your achievement, you definitely earned it. My question for you, as we all know getting into any surgery department in the US is hugely competitive especially for IMGs. It's very annoying when I think of it, as I am very afraid not getting the chance to match into a surgery program after working hard and moving into the US. Most of the things you mentioned that are important other than the USMLEs scores are hard to obtain in other countries, or they might be simply not acknowledged or recognized by the US institutions. So it is kind of very confusing. I don't know if whether shall I take the risk and move into the US to be able to obtain such accreditations (LOR, research programs, etc ...) What would be your advice
Thank you! For detailed advice, please schedule an individualized consultation through my social media platforms
Congratulations of your success!!!
Could you make a video about USCE and how to get it?
It is coming April 3
Congratulations 🎉🎉 Doctor how can we do electives before we graduate (as a Syrian med student)?
Congratulations on matching! I’m an IMG aiming for dermatology so I’m sure your videos will be very helpful. How far ahead should I apply for electives? I haven’t taken Step 1 yet but once I have I’ll only have 1 year of medical school left so I’m afraid I won’t be able to secure one in time
Thank you! For detailed advice, please schedule an individualized consultation through my social media platforms
Have you done it ? 😀
Congratulations
Could you please tell us more how to get virtual rotations?
can you enlist general surgery programs which prefer taking their research fellows for example after spending 1-2 years in their program, and at the same time mentors in these programs are friendly and productive . are u of Illinois Chicago , u of Alabama and u of Maryland in this list ?
Thanks for an excellent video & congrats on your successful application! I was wondering how did you get involved in peer-reviewing for journals? At what stage of your career can you apply to be a peer reviewer?
During the first year of my research by contacting journals and asking them to be a peer reviewer
How did you manage to get virtual rotations at the university. its literally impossible to get one.
thanks alot Dr.Malke for sharing with us your amazing journey...
I have one question about electives ,is it important to do elective in the US or it doesn't matter where to do them?
It is important
Congrats! Can you tell us more about your interview and your thinking process to choose your current location (hospital) to do your plastics residency?
A detailed video is coming about that
Really amazing! Congrats!! I have a question, when would you recommend to start research and US experience as an IMG? Before or after graduating from medical school? It's really hard being an IMG and not having the resources to go to the US as a medical student. Thanks for your answer :)
Before. Electives are way better. I made a detailed video about the USCE
What type of visa were you issued that allowed you to stay in the US for so long (since graduation till you matched)?
Any tips on how to get that visa?
Thank you and congratulations.
Quesiont:
First of all, Congratulations!!!
My question is, how did you fund yourself during the research, volunteering, electives, etc.? I think it is important to know the costs of this as not everyone can afford it. Your explanation will be very helpful. Thank you
The cost varies based on where you live
How old were you when you was accepted in plastic surgery? محتواك خرااافي جداً لا استطيع شكرك عليه كفايه . كفيت ووفيت الله يجزاك الخير
انت خارق فعلا....
Thanx Dr
I wanna ask how many years do you spend until you have a plastic surgery residency?
If l am a plastic surgery residence in Syria or I have finished residency and have Syrian board in plastic surgery could be useful for match plastic surgery residency in USA?
معلم بالله ترد
كيف قدرت تعمل اكتر من elective شو الطريقة
انا من حمص. مبروك!
Congratulations
This is an inspiring experience
Can I ask about the YOG?
2018
How did you travel to USA and lived there for 3 years ? And you’re IMG ?
How many years did you spend in us before getting the residency like I mean to ask how many years does it take to get the residency there? Especially plastic surgery residency
Hey I am so much curious my step1 score is 254 I am eager for plastic surgery residency? Is this possible with this score and what should be my target for Ck?
Mashallah great job! Thanks for sharing. When did you graduate ? And what was the time line you did all these things especially research . I feel it takes so much time
2018. Research 2018 to present
Great video! Thank you!
You said you had only 3 online publications while you mentioned you had 46 other publications as well... could you please explain more about this part! I think I didn’t get it...
Yeah because online publications are not as valuable. So I did not spend so much time on that
How long did the entire process take in total ?
Question is, how did you managed financing the research years? / are there any paid research positions for visa requiring IMGs?
No one ever answer you about that. Simply there is rich people who can spend 4 years without working anf have the money to live and eat in USA. And you have to pay money to make electives too.
Can I do elective on my internship year ??
Also if did IFOM BSE before my USMLE step 1 to know how I'm doing well or bad and to get the experience of these exams.
Your recommendations make a different!
You have to be enrolled in a medical school at the time of elective
when did you graduate from medical school ?
congratulations Doc. Malke Asaad. excuse me what about neurosurgery in this match? specifically, scores? thanks for your answers. =) hugs from Peru in South America! =)
Check Dr. Panos experience in my channel
Congrats sir. My question is does reseaech has same importance in non competitive specialities?
Not as important but still important
is it right that you have to do a 2 year home residency after training ? like i didn’t really get it do you go back to youre home for 2 years and then come back or some?
I will do a separate video about the 2 year home requirement
Dr.assad ❤i ve a question
If i take step 1 now before 2022(before starting pass/fail system) ...on applying for match after few years...does my step 1 score at matching considered as three digit score or (pass or fail) system?
3 digit
