thanks for the very straigtforward info, really glad i found your channel . It unfortunate that the prices are so incredibly high and this is obviously going to be a barrier for any IMG.
Hey, So the guidelines have changed of quite a few universities you listed in this video. Like Harvard and Cornell need VSLO. Could you please make aa video for the updated list?
Hello, we'd want you to do a detailed video on how can your step one score be helpful in matching for which residency program you are applying to.what are the possibilities of matching into gynae obs residency in US for an IMG?
Great video. Can u kindly explain how students from colleges affiliated to VSLO get selected? Like the college shortlists them or is their some sort of evaluation?
They get approved with subject to availability and first come first serve basis. There isn't any other stringent rule. VSLO is down this year and for a greater part of next year unfortunately due to Covid.
Great video! However, I have a question. In order to get the programs that will start in at least January 2021, Would we have to start the application by June 2020? Or are they’re not opening the application recently?
Doctor when I checked on the Weil Cornell website, they state that they accept students only thru VSLO. Does that mean we have to email them like Yale ? Can you please clarify. Thank you.
Hey, thank you for the Question. Weill Cornell accepts 'International Students' outside VSLO. Check this link: international.weill.cornell.edu/visiting-international-students/apply-our-program/application-requirements
Great video bro.. I have 2 questions plz The first.. I'm 5th year medical student from egypt.. I have step 1 score 253 and planning to take toefl soon ..my qs is what are programs that accept img apart from VSLO with step 1 ? I know cleveland clinic and Mayo clinic but when i checked it again i found that mayo clinic has started accept student through vslo ..so is there any other programs?? My second qs.. how much fees in dollar needed to be paid by my faculty to be VSLO member ? Does it cost much for the first registration?
There's a whole bunch of places that accept students without VSLO. It's all a click away. I'll urge you to search for it and you'll find it really easily. There are multiple blogsites. You can try this website www.doctorsebas.com/. Regarding applying for VSLO, I'm sorry I'm not able to remember the amount. I'm busy with step prep right now and want to make a detailed video on this as soon as I get time. Test assured, VSLO should be used by students who don't have Step 1 yet, you can find hundreds of opportunities without VSLO if you have step score.
Hi, apart from UAB , stay fees are not included, is that right? So, does only UAB provide for stay while others are not. So must one find for the stay himself? Thank you in advance!
Your med school should be included in the world directory of Medical school. Check this link out: www.wdoms.org/ If it's included in this directory. You need open the website for VSLO and mail them with regards to registering your college with VSLO program. They'll then get in touch with the Admin office of your college and a bilateral exchange of info will start. There is a yearly recurring fees that maybe you will have to pay if your college denies to pay it. Since I'm from India, a middle income country, we were asked to pay a yearly recurring fees of INR 60,000. And my college denied putting in a penny. 😅
Hey Swagota! Colleges don't accept applications for January mostly. You need to login to their respective websites and select from the slots they have provided and not what you would want. February and onward is usually available in almost all institution.
Sir how much chances to get in a internal medicine electives without help of agencies?? I think it is much costly.. if I clear my 1st step and TOEFL exam then how much is chances for getting accpect at low cost?
Hey Swagota ! I don't think anyone can provide you with a percentage probability of scoring an elective at a place. But after giving Step 1 and TOEFL, since you increase the window of places you could apply to, the chances of getting into a place increases. About saving money in Electives, you will need to personally visit these websites to see how much they charge for a 4 week rotation and then apply to those programs only which favor your budget. The problem with applying with agencies is not that they are costly (because Electives usually cost the same) but the the experience you have there. You can read multiple testimonials online saying people didn't have a good experience working with preceptors from these agencies.
You can do your Electives at that time. Your internship will start and you'll have to take an extension. You would also need to complete your paperwork in your forth proff .
