Hi #medtwitter and #psychtwitter! I am a psychiatry PGY1, IMG, and luckily on a lighter rotation right now. If you are IMG applying this year and need help reviewing your personal statement, DM me! I am able to help 3 people right now @Inside_TheMatch.

One of the IMG struggles is securing a visa. So many programs won’t do a J1, let alone the H1B! Glad to be in a truly supportive program and getting that H1B! #MedTwitter if you have questions about visa types, comment here and I will happily try to help! #PsychTwitter.

2023: I finished first year of residency, published 9 papers, traveled to 5 countries, got 3 awards, BOUGHT A HOUSE, GOT MARRIED, saw my parents twice from Brazil, helped a lot of patients, learned a lot, exercised ~180 days, stayed healthy! So grateful🌟🌟

Hey #psychtwitter #medtwitter. I am a PGY1 at Yale Psych and God knows how much I valued asking questions to residents when I was applying and ranking programs. My DM is open and I promise answers will be honest. Ask away ;) I am also an IMG and happy to talk about this as well!.

@arghavan_salles What people in the comments don’t understand is that when they come for “immigrants” they come for us all. Documented, undocumented, MD, no higher education… It doesn’t matter…. This guy and his followers simply despise sharing ground with other cultures.

This is how to do it! Thank you for including IMGs too, @MarkDSiegel1! @YalePsych added to its flags this year too! One day hopefully this will be normal everywhere. And kudos to @YaleMed for allowing programs to sponsor visas other than J1 as well! @StoriesImg @IMG_Advocate.
This year’s class will be our most diverse ever. Nearly a quarter of the interns identify as underrepresented in medicine and more than a third trained internationally. 5/13. @YaleIMed @YaleIM_Chiefs #Match2023.

@alanadelaforce Elizabeth Kubler-Ross as well! She was originally a nurse when she first wrote about the stages of grief and so much more in palliative care. But she wouldn’t be taken seriously by doctors. So she studied medicine and got her MD to be able to spread her work. A hero!.

@olsonplanner No. And most residency programs give minimal to no training regarding costs of healthcare. We don’t even have access to the cost of meds and procedures we prescribe on Epic. Which is a shame, because cost and social determinants of health play so much into treatment adherence.

@Dr_amoytheemd In some Latin American countries this is cultural, even for simpler things like high school scores, rankings, etc. In Brazil, e.g, people post their “national exam” scores all the time as they are proud and excited. Just would consider this specially if coming from an IMG.

@awsumpowers If anxiety starts to be too overwhelming, I would add: seek professional help! I sought psychiatry/psychology care during my application season and it was the best decision ever. CBT + SSRI for those 6 months really helped me out! Encourage everyone who needs it to do the same.
