Hey , when matcharesident shows time since graduation cutoff as 3 yog does it mean that there is no possibility of filtering out someone less than 3 yog or is there a possibility of programs sorting through applications by filtering out say more than 2 yog ??

@@IshwariChandran Hi, if you did not a visa (eg a greencard holder) would you put US-IMG?
Green card holders are not citizens so they would be non-US IMGs as well (just like all of us who need a visa)
Thank you so much your videos are in time and so informative. If you can explain what is the benefit and when we can do the AAMC account and what's the NRMP number these a lot of accounts make me confused sometimes. Another question is how to register to step 3 and lastly if you took any interview skill sessions and what's your preparation and experience. A million thanks again. Keep the good spirit.
You're welcome, Rasha!
1. You will get an AAMC account when you buy an ERAS Token. You will have to register w the NRMP to create a rank order list. I've explained the entire process in detail in this video: czcams.com/video/ZPDt8hFU4wI/video.html
2. You've to register on FSMB for step 3.
3. I did not take any interview skills sessions. I prepared for it myself by finding out the most commonly asked interview Qs. I'll share tips & my experience in a video this week :)
Love your content, always helpful!!! I'm still at medical school n considering usmle once I graduate but I hv a few questions
1. Does the first aid change each year and basically the content to be tested
2. U mentioned volunteer experience, when did u do that? During med school or after (cos I'm also thinking about LORs, how will u get them)
I'll highly appreciate your response đ
Aww thank you!
1. Yes, it does. Itâs advisable to use the latest version
2. Majorly during med school
Try to apply to programs/hospitals for electives by emailing them!
Learning something new and useful with each and every video of yours. Thank you so much for the video ish đ

Mam please also make a video on how and through what we can apply for rotations......and also the average cost.....requirements for rotation after graduation.......and when (which month) should we apply for the rotation if graduated in Aug.
I created one on this a few days back!
It has everything you need to know about USCE: czcams.com/video/EX5UXahF-RQ/video.html
Hope this helps :)
If you decide to use Freida pre match programs how do you know the deadline of those programs ?
thanks ....helped a lot.
? đcan you plz make video on categorical vs prilimnary programms..... ?how does prilimnary programms can help in matching in IM residency when you have low scores
Hey sure! Lemme gather more info about it!
Thank you for all useful information. I have one additional question. Should I get in touch to programs before I apply, like introducing myself or asking particular questions about the program or expressing an interest?
Youâre welcome :) letters of interest may help but I believe now may be quite early as program coordinators would still be busy w the onboarding process of their new residency classes. So I guess doing it a few weeks later may be better?
Congratulations on your match! How many programs did you apply to?
Thank you! :) 125!
Hey , when a program says time since graduation cutoff of 3 years on matcharesident , is there a possibility that the program might apply filter of time since graduation to 1 year or is it that thereâs no possibility of filtering out less than 3 yog? Thank you
If they say theyâre accepting apps within 3y of graduation, graduating 1y before may still be accepted
plz also write subtitles on videos.it will be more helpful
If someone take exam in month of August, last week, is it possible to get results before programs start looking at applications? I heard results come late in those months.
It usually takes about 2 weeks to get results and another 2 weeks to be ECFMG certified after getting the results (assuming, pathway and step 1 are done by then)
You're right. There may be a delay in score reporting some times though. This is how it was last year: www.ecfmg.org/news/2021/03/25/step-2-ck-delay-in-score-reporting-3/#:~:text=Most%20Step%202%20Clinical%20Knowledge,week%20of%20June%2027%2C%202021.
I'd suggest checking w the ECFMG about it so that you can plan your test date accordingly
Hello Doc, I hope you're doing well. Your all videos are informative and very useful. Can you please tell me how to find programs that don't have ECFMG requirements by the time of application? Thank you in advance!!
Hey! :) I used match a resident to get that data cuz it isnât available on residency explorer and Frieda
@@IshwariChandran Thank you for your kind response and your time
Question , on the same page, I donât see a choice for green card, I am not us citizen but have green card
In that case, you would come under the category of NON-US IMG. However, since you wonât be needing a visa, you can filter programs & apply accordingly (you can also apply to programs that donât sponsor visas unlike nonUS IMGs who do not have a green card) :)
Thank you my darling. I finished OBGYN in India and now an old grad, I am in Philadelphia, if you need any help, if you donât have family, feel free to connect. Much love carol.
That's so kind! Thank you so much :')
Hi about the Indian mbbs, we get the degree after internship right? So we can't apply for a match until our internship is over?
Btw congratulations đ
Thanks! Yeah itâs better to apply after you get your degree âcause youâll need your degree to be ECFMG certified. And itâs highhhhly recommended to be ECFMG certified by September (although it isnât a rule but itâs kinda better to be)
hi iam so confused
yog is oct 2018
iam gonna get married there to a person who is having h1b visa
i have been working as medical officer,havent done md here.
is it possible for me to match?
right now preparing for step 1
Yeah, a lot of international medical grads match into residency in the US!
How many years you need to get match after completing mbbs
It depends. I matched in like 8 months cuz I applied immediately after graduation. Some people match in a few years. Thereâs no definitive timeline. Iâve shared my timeline in another video :)
Can you share your list with us? I know it is a lot to ask but it would help a lot of people. Thanks for useful content
Hey! I donât quite have my list w me rn but I highly recommend creating your own list and everyone has their own preferences and everyoneâs application is unique!
@@IshwariChandran Oh thanks for your answer. I really appreciate it.
Hi akka.
Hey!
Every one is sort of recommending MAR and i pulled the trigger but i am very disappointed after paying like 150$. It has really limited information ; not anymore real upgrade over the free Residency explorer .
Hey sorry to hear that! As mentioned in this video, MAR majorly helped me w finding out stuff about programsâ deadlines for ECFMG certification, acceptance of telerotations and interview link/review features. Last year, all of this info wasnât available on residency explorer so MAR was quite useful for these things when I was creating my list.
@@IshwariChandran exactly ; I have a problem with application deadlines ; how can an IM program have application dead line of December /?? Makes me doubt their information in even accurate or gathered by random website visitors.
@@redwolf155 I believe they call programs up to get the updated info. I remember them mentioning the date it was updated as well.
Some programs may strictly not download apps after a given point while some may. Some programs mentioned this during their open house sessions last year as well. Not sure if they actually do it though :p
@@IshwariChandran I thank thee for quick responses and having your patience with me.
Of course! Good luck!
