In this thread I'll write some advice for the match interviews: .1- Don't be arrogant by the number of interviews you will get. Some can match by one interview and others can't match by 10 interviews! .Deal with each interview as the only interview you got during the match season

In this thread I want to write some notes and advice regarding step 3 USMLE: . 1- Step 3 USMLE is not required for the match except if your step one or step two ck scores are lower than 220 or your YOG more than 5 years!

In my opinion, each program sending rejection should send the 26$ with it, at least I can buy some cookies with each rejection so I can forget about it 😂. #Match_2023.

If I do a job in 30 minutes it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years not the minutes.

That's the best time to reach to the residency programs and show them your interest. In this thread I will explain how to do the residency excel sheet and how to reach to the program directors, coordinators, faculty members and the residents.

Don't study because you need to. Study because knowledge is power. Study because they will never take it away from you. Study because you want to know more. Study because it enhances you. Study because it grows you!.

One of the most important tips for the #Match_lnterviews is when the program director gives you the opportunity to ask him questions, you should ask about his journey, his academic achievements, and his future goals. People like to talk about themselves!.

Doing clinical rotations in IMG friendly programs increase your chances for #Match "in that program" than doing it in a very prestigious program "that don't even call you for an interview". People like to send invitations for applicants they know in person!.

Done with the next two weeks in the internal medicine floors. In Queens you can find more than 160 spoken languages, a lot of rare diseases and disorders which it's hard to find at any other places in the world. I'm glad to take care of people here in Queens Hospital Center.

Start from now looking for the programs that you will apply for the next season. Choose the IMG friendly programs. Choose the programs that will consider your credentials. Make spreadsheet for these programs and start building your connections inside it. Just apply wisely!.

One of the most important tips for the #Match_Interviews is when the program director asking you about your medical school education or your country, you must talk positively about them. People don't respect who talks negatively about his origin!.
