applicants, please don’t make the mistake of paying thousands of dollars to these companies promising you success in your pursuit of residency. A far better and economical option is to find a mentor who you trust. It will be much more fruitful.

This is how I would learn Anatomy using an app called CompleteAnatomy. It completely changed how I learned anatomy, gave me an interactive app to navigate through different layers of muscles, nerves and fascia.

INCORRECT info
@MatchAResident
This program does not sponsor visa.
Several programs I have had to double check from the website because match a resident has incorrect information.

All these companies are going to do is scare you about how your application lacks so much, to further try and make you purchase their services, I did extensive research before applying and opted to not go for any such company.

Hey guys, as requested ill mention some points on the efficient usage of Anki. Firstly, I would highly recommend taking some time to learn the app and how to use it. YouTube tutorials are a great resource for this.

Spoke to an Orthopaedic surgeon today, he told me him self how they get so many stellar applications of doctors even more qualified than him self but they still aren’t able to hire them as they’re IMGs. He also said he hopes something changes with this situation.

Saw a patient expire due to complications of end stage renal disease. What hurt the most was reading “CKD managed with Homeopathic medicine.” in her past medical history. Since 10 years too.

I remember sitting in the library one day before my final exam back in first year of medical school, reading step 1 write ups…
It’s been a long journey indeed.
It has been a long and stressful journey, but I can’t wait for the next steps!!

With this logic no one should post any positive event in their life with the precaution that it might come off as bragging? We should learn to be happy for others, it doesn’t make our lives any less meaningful.

1/ Always read the last 2 sentences of a question first. This can save you time by focusing on the key point of the question. Still, do a quick read of the entire paragraph.

Personal statements should answer important questions like: Why are you interested in the speciality? What makes you unique? Why should the program choose you over other applicants? What are your career goals?

One of the best things about Anki is that it can help decrease stress levels. With Anki, you'll have peace of mind knowing that you can return to it tomorrow if you don't know something today. Hence you won't have to cram for exams or worry about forgetting important information

3/ Trust your gut feeling. Studies show that your first guess is usually right. Be cautious when changing marked answers.

6/ If you think you're being tricked with two right answers, pick the obvious one. It's better to be fooled with the majority than to risk choosing the less likely option.

First of all, Anki uses a technique called spaced repetition, which is evidence-based and proven to be the best method of studying. 📈 With Anki, you'll be able to review your flashcards at the optimal intervals to ensure that you remember what you've learned in the long-term. 🧠

Personal statements are your chance to stand out and show why you are a strong candidate for a residency program. Take your time, be authentic, and use your experiences to support your answers. Good luck!

For example; instead of copying down Uworld tables, you can just take a picture as then paste it!
You can SEARCH your hand written notes, and my writing was questionable and it still worked!!
You can export it as PDF to view on your monitor
You can colour code much quicker

Instead of simply stating qualities like "I'm a hard worker" or "I'm a team player," use stories or experiences to demonstrate these qualities. Show, don't tell!

To start writing a personal statement, I recommend creating a draft with bullet points as answers to these questions. Then, draw experiences from your medical school, research, clinical rotations, and interactions with patients and physicians to support your answers.

2/ When doing a block, give each question a certain amount of time. Unsure? Pick an answer, mark it, and move on. When reviewing marked questions, only change if you discover a significant point you overlooked initially.

Another great feature of Anki is the text-to-speech add-on. 🗣️ This feature allows you to have your cards read to you, which can enhance your learning and help you retain information more easily.

And if you're studying histology or radiography, the image occlusion cards can be a game-changer. With these cards, you can hide labeled diagrams and gradually reveal them, making it easier to memorize complex images.

It shouldn't just be an elaboration of your CV but rather talk about you to try and display your personality in these few words. Remember, your personal statement should be around 500-700 words, so be selective with the experiences you include. Quality over quantity!

Avoid sending your personal statement to everyone you know. Choose mentors or friends who have experience with personal statement editing or have written their own personal statements. Quality feedback is important!

Don’t sleep on ethics and epidemiology.
Other than that rest really well, you can easily score 20 points above or below depending on how well rested you are

When should you start working on your personal statement? I recommend giving yourself at least 2-3 months to allow your ideas and answers to mature. Don't rush it!

How many drafts should you go through before submitting your personal statement? It varies, but definitely not the first or second draft. Revise multiple times and seek feedback from trusted sources who have experience with personal statement editing.

Guys here is a sample of one of the more congested pages. I know it seems like the writing or pictures are too small to read; but you can always zoom in and it’s eligible to read. Will hopefully make a tutorial soon on how I’d annotate.

Key thing is to talk to people, don’t be afraid to ask for help and be honest about your situation. I think often times when you’re respectful and polite, many people will try to help you out in some sort of way.
