In this special livestream, I interview Dr. Nina Lum @NinaLum from IMG Roadmap.
She has founded IMG Roadmap, where she helps International Medical Graduates (IMG) get into residency programs. She will talk about challenges, strategies, and successes on getting into residency programs as an IMG, and how to thrive beyond that.
In this deep dive, and Dr. Lum dropped so many gems through out the interview. It is not just about checking the boxes, it is about doing the internal work so that you will thrive beyond residency.
