Hey all! Thanks for watching and showing my channel some love. I made a template of my tracker for anyone who wants to use it :D Link here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1umHqekRvK0s6e5PKGF3Cv0obROekJrW4KMO3i2q1d-4/edit?usp=sharing Can also find the link in the description box and in my first community post!

Hi! Thank you for your video, very helpful! Is there anyway you can share your pass tracker template?

I’ve been in my unemployed era for a while now. But I’m about 1 month into the job hunting season, sent about 5 or 6 job applications for research positions, and I’ve gotten at least 2 job interviews, one with a connection I had from undergrad and another with a listing I found online. I’m not sure if I’ll get hired. I got rejected already from another job I applied to before, they didn’t even interview me. So if I get rejected after this interview, it will be the first of many, I’m assuming. But it is what it is, and we keep moving forward. Here are the lessons I learned from interviewing for an assistant research coordinator as an international medical graduate: 1. They already know how impressive your resume is, especially if you’ve written it that way, no need to reiterate what’s already spoken for in your CV/Resume unless they specifically bring it up and ask you about it 2. These jobs are typically looking for people who can dedicate at least 2 years of their time to be considered, do some introspection and see if this is something you want to put your time and effort into 3. Be honest with them, and they’ll be straight up with you too 4. Don’t be afraid, the worst that could happen is that they reject you, and if they do, maybe this job isn’t the right fit for you right now anyway 5. Good things take time #internationalmedicalgraduate #unemploymentdiaries #unemployed #jobhunting

Hey, what is your Step 2 CK score range?

Can I ask your Step 2 score?

This is such a timely video. I'm on the same boat. Finished my Step 1 in February and planning to write Step 2 CK in June. This is reassuring. Thank You for the video

Algo recommended me this video - US M1 here. Thank you for making this video! I know you said that you probably wouldn’t have made this video if you weren’t feeling this way but I’m grateful you did. My dad was also an IMG, so major respect for all the extra steps you had to go through. My perspective is probably worth a grain of salt, but to add on to what another commenter said, you have made it so far! It’s hard to look back and appreciate our accomplishments at times, but on your behalf I want to recognize your success. Impostors syndrome is very real but from what I’ve observed from the doctors I’ve been around it definitely fades over time. I’m only halfway though the video rn and typing this as I’m listening so going stream of consciousness mode. I also empathize with “making friends as an adult is difficult” - I know a lot of people with lifelong friends but that’s just never really been me. I hope you are able to meet people in residency! Also want to speak to one of your last points “never seeing this feeling of aspiring towards the next accomplishment ending” - I had my fair share of mental health struggles and the hedonistic treadmill of a professional education is real (I think this kinda goes hand in hand with recognizing our own past success), and I highly recommend talking to a therapist if you’re able. Also reliving experiences that affirm your passion for medicine. Journaling can help, sometimes just seeing dysfunctional thinking on paper is enough to make you snap out of it. Final thought - I am very thankful my dad went through the IMG journey so I had the opportunity to study medicine myself, and I think your future children will be very fortunate to have a self-aware, providing parent like yourself. Good luck with your scores!

RUclips randomly recomended me this video and I enjoyed very much. I'm also an IMG (not an american citizen like you, brazilian) and listened to this video while doing some data extraction for a paper I'm working on. I would like to ask you: why did you decided to do your medical training outside of USA? Wish you the best of luck with the step 2 CK results!

you got this dont worry just be happy that its over and know that hundreds of thousands of people have went through the same thing you'll get through it
