What was your cultural background and how studying at Aleppo was, how could you adapt living at the us at your first months.

Hi, can you please make another video about pathways to plastic surgery in the US?

Additional comments: 1- In order for the same program to match you as PGY1 categorical or take you as PGY2,3 categorical you need to have a good ABSITE score as well which really might be a surrogate for STEP scores. 2- Another route after PGY2 prelim is to do one year of burn fellowship or critical care and then apply again for PGY3 or even the MATCH. 3- Another thing is if you don’t have visa issues and you are in a state that gives full license after 2 years of ACGME-accredited training, you can either moonlight as a surgicalist or do wound care and pursue that as a career and make a lot of money 💰

Great video, Please suggest me which type of elective is best telerotations or on-site? What’s the major difference between these two? Which is best if I have less time to get many LORs? Please let me know.

Hi , very informative. Can u please let us know the importance of ABSITE in getting advanced into categorical position from a prelim year ?

Great video, Is elective mandatory for an IMG to match into surgery programs or externship is enough to get into or match into surgery?

Can you make video on IMG matching into Otolaryngology??

Could you interview an IMG who got into opthalmology please? Lots of love :)

How many minimum electives should anyone do to get matched into Neurosurgery, ortho-surgery or interventional cardiology??? And after how long from that electives, one can apply for research works and how many( or how long) researches should somebody do to make higher chances to get into desired specialities????

Can you plz make a video on how to approach to be a dermatologist

is it can apply for Neurosurgery Dr.Malke, any additional steps?

Great video. If I want to get into general surgery then should I have to start from now ?I’m in my medical school third year. What’s the best way & best best time to start preparing?

Before applying for match- Research: 2-3 years. Another 2-3 years before getting a categorocal position. Total: 4-6 years before getting settled. Even, this is mostly for general surgery let alone other more competitive specialities. Isn't is too risky and too lengthy?

I would really appreciate if you could give me your opinion on this. I'm applying this match for gen surg and there are some programs that offer both categorical and prelim. my scores and statistics according to residency explorer is in the average or top 25%. should I apply to both cat and prelim in the same program? or should I pick either prelim or cat? what do you think the program will think if I apply to both cat and prelim in their program. I would really appreciate if you could help me decide... Thank you!
