Please see us, IMG, as capable entities too. Some not necessarily have flashy credentials, but our competence, our dedication, and our abilities are worth of a chance.
@elyadekrami
This is the result of putting IMGs to a lot of impossibly high standards to be treated with equity. Maybe the fault is in all of us for perpetuating a system that asks for "realness" and answers a call with "we need perfection".
Outstanding opportunity that I had here at Larkin Community Hospital! So grateful for the incredible experiences and lessons learned in this amazing place 😊

This season was harsh, but I did everything in my power. I came this far, and whatever the result, I know deep inside that I am enough, capable, and strong.

Something I learned through the years is that you will never be "perfectly ready" to do things. Life is unpredictable. What it comes is not always what you expected in theory. Instead of "being completely ready," do it when you feel you give all and enough to be at that point.
I am trying every day to be a better version of myself and to believe I am capable and deserving of happiness. I am proud of where I am now and I am thankful to all the people who cheer for me, helped me, and accompanied me in this path💜😊
As an MS in my ENT rotation, I couldn't remember the ear canal anatomy, my preceptor humiliated me n told me that I shouldn't be there with my poor knowledge. Now I am a Matched IMG passed all my steps in a different language, and re-learned medicine in a whole different country.
I want to hear some underdog stories. Tell me about your 12th grade advisor who said you wouldn’t get into college, your premed advisor who said you wouldn’t get into med school, etc. tell me all the ways you’ve turned their doubt into fuel 💪
Feeling so grateful for having the best people around me while volunteering at HUDA clinic :') they guide me, they teach me, they cheer me up! The best team 💜

I have so much support, and so many people have immense trust in me, more than what I have in myself (while trying to). I am fighting to keep this life I so fervently didn't give upon. I owe to myself to not quit the battle.
I also want to thank all that reached out to me and also let me reach them. You all showed me how much I gained even when I fell. This battle is not over, I will become stronger and wiser. A big hug to us who are still fighting the fight. That our steps lead us to a flower path.

Me alegro que hayas ppodido llegar segura, eso no quita lo inaceptable de las condiciones en las cuales los serumistas tienen que cumplir su labor.
My country is bleeding. It is not as simple as protesters pro Castillo (our ex Pdt), is people tired of being forgotten by the government and the government, not taking accountability and fomenting disinformation and resentment between peruvians, instead of dialogue with them.
I am so proud of this. As a fellow Peruvian and Latina, this argumentation makes me feel seen and valued. We are making the change slowly but surely, for all of us.👏👏
Please share! 🙌🏽 Grateful for the opportunity to present today to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee meeting on “What Can Congress Do to Address the Severe Shortage of Minority Health Care Professionals and the Maternal Health Crisis?”
Just a reminder that, no matter what, your life is precious, live it as whole as you can. Torturing yourself to achieve something, so you can reap sweeter rewards, is senseless and only perpetuates ways of oppression. Work hard, but don't bleed to succeed.
I love my name and I am proud of it. I have no problem explaining and giving people the correct spelling if it is needed, especially in official documents. So please, be receptive.
Second holiday season that I will be without my parents. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing they are taking care of themselves and trying new hobbies, they deserve all the happiness in the world💜
This season definitely feels like a plane with no hydraulic system, going up and down randomly with no control😅 but still, I will keep going. Hoping next year, becomes a brighter one. I have faith in a smooth landing afterwards. I am proud of how far I came.💜
It is incredible to me how the Presidente of my country is so obtuse to accept her poor performance and only stirring more animadversion. We all have right to protest, and yes there are people using this as a political tool. Dina, what are you gaslighting your people?
Being a bilingual, Spanish-speaking healthcare provider, is something that makes me proud. Being able, to not only offer care but reliability to my patients, gives me a different kind of gratification, and makes me appreciate my career even more.

@Minsa_Peru
va a seguir descuidando de esa manera al personal de salud? A estos medicos recien egresados con tosa una vida por delante?
Lima no es el Perú. El gobierno en vez de dar pie al dialogo y poner las cartas en la mesa para explicar el porqué las elecciones inmediatas no son plausibles (algo que ya hemos intentando hace poco y no funcionó), se tiran la pelota y fomentan la desinformación.
I remembered having a migraine on block 6 of my Step 2. A lot of external factors have effect on your performance, so please don't punish yourself for things put of your control. Even if you studied everything, there will be always something ne ypu don't know and that's ok.
La desconexion y la centralizacion del sistema de salud en Perú es debido a un gobierno ineficiente. El personal SERUMS no deberia arriesgar su vida cruzando rios caudalosos, carreteras caidas y acantilados, para llevar cuidado a poblaciones aisladas por el mismo estado.
You cannot claim meritocracy as the sole qualificatio, when the barriers presented for most POC prevent them from getting the recognition of their abilities to get them into the race!
@dch1309
Excuse me…. You are claiming medical centers are not safe for black or indigenous people why? Because they may be judged solely on Merit? That they should be treated different? Many incredible black and indigenous people have climbed to the very top of their fields! On MERIT!

How much does one have to give to receive what one deserves?
These crashing waves won't tumble the pebble, but still, the pebble asks for a break to recover strength.
La gente está harta, esos "resentidos" que llamas, son personas que han sido las más afectadas por un clima de inestabilidad POR AÑOS. Y sus opiniones, equivocadas o no, vienen de la decepción permanente y la falta de visibilidad para con el estado.
Part of my sadness, soon leaving my beautiful Detroiter community, is because of my Spanish-speaking patients, I hope they can be received by new healthcare workers/volunteers who can speak their language and dispel their fears regarding communication barriers.
So, I finally watched all 15 seasons of Supernatural, stress-induced binge-watching actually. Made the whole Match process bearable. Now I don't know what to do with my life.
