Thank you so much for being so transparent. There are so many videos on yt guiding us through the USMLE process, but nobody talks about how life is after you get there. Videos like these help us a build a realistic picture in our head and really bursts that fantasy bubble that we have about the american dream, and would help us in adjusting better instead of feeling disappointed. And as always - grass is greener on the other side. Wish you lots of love and happiness 💖

During my rotations, definetly there was this feeling of overusing the resources, sometimes it felt we did more with less, here they do more but with a lot more.

As an incoming PGY1, I feel like this video was exactly what I needed to hear.

Can you provide us with a checklist of things to do before leaving college that cannot be done afterward, such as research and observership programs? My college is arranging one, so should I go ahead and participate in it? A checklist would be useful
-
I am also planning to write step 1, apart from what you mentioned, did you take coaching for the preparation, CV, matching, publications or so, kindle let me know

My sister is doing her PG in medicine from a govt medical college in India. She's in a central college and paid a lakh per month with a fees of 5k per year.. so in govt college you end up saving ALOT. Also, how many years is PG there? Like here it's 3 years irrespective of the branch. What about there?
