✅ Connect with an Expert who is Practicing in the U.S without Residency: cutt.ly/GepkacSM In today's video we'll discuss how recent state law changes are allowing IMGs to practice in the U.S. without repeating residency! Watch till the end to learn how these changes streamline the licensure process, reduce barriers, and expand access to quality medical care.
In my career I have cleared both UK exams(MRCP UK +Neurology SCE- all First attempt) and finished all parts of USMLE(Step1+Step2+Step3- First attempt). I will say there is a vast difference in study approach and both are unique in so many ways. Especially Step3 USMLE is heavy biostatistics based exam on day 1 and PACES is a pure clinical skill exam on real patients with active illness. MRCP-UK according to me the best Internal Medicine exam in the world which is adequately standardized to the level of PG IM Training however USMLE is overall the toughest exam in the world due to the sheer intensity of exam stipulation such as number of questions in each single hour section of the exam as well as the length of clinical vignettes hence time plays a key role in solving a USMLE question. USMLE feels quite tough to pass or score high per se especially at later stages of career when one is already at a level of a resident or registrar as it is difficult to conceptualise other specialties like OBGY/Gynae or Peds whereas MRCP-UK can still be cleared if an individual has a very good knowledge of internal medicine specialties. I hope some basic facts could help vloggers and bloggers reading my comment post and best of luck to anyone endeavouring the hard journey of medicine.

Dr. Asaad we don't have a CT surgery residency in Italy and it is only cardiac surgery for 5 years, what would happen if a surgeon from Italy decides to do fellowships and then start practicing with state license? Because he has to apply for CT but he is only a cardiac surgeon and does not have thoracic experience! I would appreciate if you could let me know about this rare issue!

Hello sir, I am an IMG from india. What exactly my doubt is that if we complete our steps and get ECFMG certified,according to US,in view of licensing exam,they told that the scores are valid for 7 years only.If we get ECFMG certified after completing steps and apply after 7 to 8 yrs,are they going to consider our ECFMG certification(usmle scores).Can I get a proper explanation regarding this.
If you already have your certificate, with no expiration date, it should be valid. The states did not specify a specific date for finishing your STEP exams or ECFMG certificate!
The ECFMG certificate is only a means to enter into neurology residency. It is not a permanent certificate hence to complete USMLE full, Step3 is essential which then allows anyone to practice independent. USMLE is only considered cleared when one has finished his step3 exam. You need to check at FSMB whether your ECFMG certificate allow you to apply step3 as I know so many seniors who couldn’t apply for step 3 as ECFMG is valid for certain period only
Hello, Can a Non-us IMG after completing IM residency in USA, can work in canada as IM doctor? Or he have to give mccqe exam and repeat residency again. Please let me know in detail Thank you.
Hey Malke, how is residency going on so far? I'm starting my third year of IM tomorrow but deep in my heart I thought that training in the US was different. As an IMG, do you feel the same?
Hi m an obgyn consultant practicing in Pakistan. Hiw can i do practice in USA? I will have to take USMLE but what about fellowships?? is it important to just pass the exam or to get a high score?plz reply
@@MalkeAsaad isnt that a problem then? What're disadvantages of not being board certified in the USA? This sounds like a scam then. Wouldn't American citizens be more reluctant to visit non board certified doctors?
Btw honestly it sounds like slavery to me working as much as your colleagues and get paid only half amount as them and that would be like that forever, because you will never become a primary surgeon and you will be always working next to a board certified guy, and god knows how much of your salary will be spent for insurance if you are lucky enough to find a company. And for me in CT it means you will never have the chance to get board certified after because you need to complete 150 surgeries in the last 3 years of your practice as the primary surgeon, let alone the oral and the written exams and the fact that you have to become an associate prof to do that. So all in all it is good maybe for someone that sacrifices lots of his nerves just to be in the US! LOL
@@MalkeAsaadis there a route to become a primary surgeon for example after i have done that type of practice (meaning with out getting into a residency and working as a licensed but under the supervision of a full licensed dr (board certified) after many years of practice can i still later become board certified dr without any competitiveness (like the competitiveness getting into a residency of your dreams)

I think the evaluating exam to enter this route should be specialty-specific rather than STEP 1 and STEP 2
I m in my last year of super specialty training. I have already completed an IM training.

You probably would be doing only cardiac surgery
