Thank you for this informative video, I highly appreciate it. I also wanted to ask about malpractice insurance, where can I get it from and how much does it typically cost?
thank you mam for the guidance.
You are welcome!
hello, can i know in which university did you do your elective? Thanks for the amazing video
Hi, thanks for the very informative video. I would like to know about the malpractice insurance as well as that was also listed as a priority for USCE in many universities. Can you share some information regarding that as well?
I was not required to have a malpractice insurance. However if a university requires it, it'll be best if you email them and ask which they would prefer you to buy.
Make a vlog like A to Z What all u did to get matched
Great video,
Ma’am,
I’m in third year of MBBS.
Is internal medicine non-US IMG ( no green card or no permanent residency) friendly program?
Is it possible for a non-US IMG to get into internal medicine program?
Hi Divya, your video is very informative. Thanks for doing such a nice job and service to other aspiring IMGs! There is some confusion in terms of what is considered USCE. There are so many names - Externships, Clerkships, Clinical rotations, Observerships/Shadowing etc. Can you please advise on what we should look for while applying? Regards.
Hey! Thank you for your kind words:)
Externship - Clinical hands on rotation that you do after you graduate.
Clinical rotations/ Clerkships - Hands on rotation as a student.
Observerships/ Shadowing - Rotations which are not hands on, done as a student or graduate.
Clerkship > Externship > Observership.
If you dont mind, can you please give demos of written CVs or other personal statement etc.... I'm literally clueless.
Great video,
Does electives & externship both provide LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION?
Yes
Hi mam !
I have a question. Am i eligible for USMLE if my medical college is listed in wdoms but there is no sponsor notes?
How can I got this sponsor notes for my medical college?and how much time will it take?
Hello ma’am
Thankyou so much for making such an informative video
Can you also suggest a link for Malpractice insurance?
Glad you found it helpful! I didn't have to take a malpractice insurance so I'm not sure!
Hi Divya, thanks for the video! I am a medical student at Gandhi medical college Hyderabad, India. My college unfortunately is not subscribed to VSLO Home Institution List. Also, my school does not have other affiliations with US schools. How can I find US schools/hospitals that accept IMGs for USCE? Most of them from what I saw require my college on VSLO list. I did not do USMLE Step 1 yet, I just finished my 4th year exams and would like finish Clinical Electives first. I have the US tourist visa already.
Could you please send the transcript template
Pls make more videos
Can you please share the format for the medical school transcript? can't seem to find out.
Great video,
Is it possible to take break in internship to do clinical rotation in USA?
If next is implemented, because after 12 months of internship (mandatory) next 2 must be given.
Taking break from internship tp do rotations in the US is allowed and recommended. However you need your college and council permission.
Really informative video 👍
Did you get these rotations directly or through some agencies?
As currently many have changed to vslo and not providing rotations to international students
I got 2 months via the university application and the third month via an agency. A lot of options have opened up now. Just apply in advance and make sure to look at their requirements.
Where can I apply for usce.
which university did you apply to?
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal
Thanks .tried free hippa link but the certificate doesnt show my name
Can we use the certificate from our university that states the medium of teaching is English instead of Toefl ?
How many months it takes to get verified after completing my application
Thank you so much 😊. If I had already done OET, do I have to do TOEFL again?
TOEFL is required by Universities when applying for clerkships. If you are done with OET you can email the University and ask if they accept it.
Ma'am, if I have to give OET later, will it be better If i give it before usce so that I can use it later as well?
Do i need to take STEP 1 to do a clerkship?
Can you suggest electives open right now?
Great video,
ma’am,
Is it possible to apply for elective without visa?
Because visa waiting period is too long upto 2 years.
You can apply without visa to few places, but if you are accepted you need a visa. So its best you first get a visa appointment at least and then apply otherwise you might waste your money in application and not be able to attend the clerkship.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal okk.
If I can show visa appointment letter will that be enough?
Can i apply for B1 visa without invitation letter from hospital?
Which hospital did you rotate ?
Really helpful. How to look for list of usce ?
Bcoz most have transitioned to VSLO
Great video,
Is it possible to apply for observership before step 1 & TOEFL?
Yes, absolutely
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal thanks
How many months prior to desired date I have to apply?
Great video,
Hi ma’am,
If I want to do elective in 2024 . When should I have to start the whole process of applying for elective?
One year prior .
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal thanks for the response
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal great video,

@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal ma’am,

Can i get the transcript formats
Is visa required at the time of application or after you get accepted please explain
Some universities ask you to send in a copy of the passport and visa at the time of application. While for other, it can be sent in at acceptance.
How did you do your clerkships?
Vslo /non vslo
University/private clinics?
Non-vslo. 2 months University-based in-patient, 1 month out-patient university-based and private clinic.
Hello Divya, Where did you do your rotations?
Hello! I did my rotations in New York and North Carolina :)
Hi ma'am. I am a final year med student. Regarding crri extension, could you explain how exactly it works. Did you do it. And if so can we do it near the end of crri. Completely confused about extension so kindly help. Thank you so much.
Internship extension- can be done for a period of 1 year from the start date of CCRI. You will have to apply to your medical board and get it accepted. It helps you to extend your graduation date. Highly recommend extending it if you anticipate taking time for your usmle exams and USCE.
@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal 1 have completed my final yr in 2019 but not yet graduated.....im thinking to get my certificate in 2023....what should i do now?
Hey!
I’m in the same situation as you right now. Can you please let me know what you did? Did you extend your internship and go for USCE in your period of extension?
Hello. Can a graduate do clerkships or is it only possible to do it during med school?
It is possible during med school. As a graduate the options decrease but you can get via clerkship agencies.
TOEFL? is that needed for usmle? Or did you mean the OET?
TOEFL is needed by most universities when you apply for clerkships. OET is in place of STEP 2 CS exam and is a requirement to be ECFMG Certified.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal ah f***. I figured OET would be a logical and reasonable measure of an applicant's English skills so didn't bother looking up hospital/uni requirements🤦🏻♂️.
Thanks for the info!
Mam what is the duration of clerkship?
Minimum 3 months of total USCE is ideal.
Great video,
Ma’am,
I’m a student from India.
I’m willing to do elective before step 1 & TOEFL.
I have gone through your video which gave me some idea regarding elective & some universities which don’t ask for step 1 & TOEFL.
Please let me know when should I have to start applying for elective (how many months prior to the desired date of elective)in these universities which don’t ask / don’t require step 1& TOEFL and will provide LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION?
Please suggest me some universities in NYK which don’t require step 1& TOEFL and will provide ‘letters of recommendation’.
THANK YOU.
Is it good idea to apply for USCE after step 2?
You can apply to USCE anytime. Preferably as early as possible. Most USCE require you to have step 1 scores.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal thank you Divya
