Firstly, Big congrats, Malke! This is a huge achievement! Inspirational indeed! What's your year of graduation? And If I'm doing basic research now, not clinical, is that a minus thing? Matching into competitive specialities could take years, I could bet that you could have matched into medicine years ago if you wanted! I know it's worth the wait of course, but how bad is it being an old grad? I would appreciate it if you could give me a quick answer till you make a detailed video. Thanks and Congrats again. Mabrook.
Any tips for resources and references to study from? I am currently a first year student and studying anatomy from netters atlas and Gray's anatomy. For other subjects what should i choose?
Big fat congratulations !!! you've worked really hard and you made it , you are really a sustainable source of inspiration for me 🥰🥰😂😂😂 I am currently studying medicine in one of the countries that are going to lose thier ECFMG accreditation by 2024 which will prevent me from doing USMLE step1 The issue is that i am stil in my very first semester , and by that time i will have just finished my 3rd year , my question is Should i start studying my courses curriculm before my I study it at college , is that even possible ???cause I will have to cram 2 semesters in the other 4 thank you for your consideration and it would a lot to me if you answered my question ,, Abdullah
As-salamu alaykum brother and congratulations. I want to ask one simple question. Can we do electives after the graduation? You said that electives can be done when we are medical students and after graduation we get only observership. So is there any chance of getting into electives after graduation? Please answer my question. Once again congratulations.
Yeah, but he matched into internal medicine. His score is amazing. Did he volunterily chose it. Or were the research and volunteering work not sufficient ?@@alex-R16
Brother you have exceptional CV and achievements beyond academics..which is really not easy at ground level for many people ..Especially financially..so congratulations on your achievements you deserve it!!
wow you are a star, you have no idea how much seeing people like encourage us to be a better med students and get a match in a top program, you deserve your achievements I wish you all the best
Dr Asaad, I just found your channel and I am so happy I did. I'm a Canadian studying medicine in Ireland and I will be applying for residency in the US and in Canada. I'm in first year and I'm already looking at the process of matching as an IMG. Thank you so much for the videos you make, they are very informative. In a few years, I hopefully be making videos about this whole process as well!
Congratulations on all your hard work and matching to one of the most competitive residencies in the USA. Having just posted my first ever RU-vid video on matching, it was so much effort! Much harder than plastic surgery!
ماشاءالله عليك 💜💜💜 دايما هناك اناس محبطين أثناء الدراسه والتقديم انه لا يمكن لطالب طب درس في الخارج ان يدخل المجالات الصعبه نفس جراحه الاعصاب او التجميلي ... لكنك تعبت وبمجهودك اثبت انه يمكن ... شكرا على الايجابيه والالهام ... الله يسعدك في رحلتك المهنيه 🙏🙏🙏
I'm so glad for you dude. Not only an inspiration to me. But to many who pursue a career like yours but in also(thanks to you) in a healthy balanced way.
Thank you for all the useful videos you’re doing for IMGs, Malke. Congrats, you definitely deserved this spot. Would you please talk more about the US clinical experiences in your future videos.
Congratulations Dr. Malke Asaad on getting into your top choice program! So happy for your success. All your hard work paid off. :) Wish you all he best in Residency!!
Big congrats ! I a have turned on the bell notification for this channel, because i am looking forward for the tips on how and where to start research! Best of luck !
Amazing video as always! I really look forward to your uploads. Congratulations on matching! And thank you for doing this, it's really helpful and informative.
You did a great job doctor , congratulations Please I gonna suggest some topics that really matter to us as medical students or doctors want to continue their journey in US, and do not be like many other RU-vid channels that saying the obvious all the time, so :- 1- how to get a research positions ( and especially online positions regarding these COVID-19 pandemic) 2- how to get electives and its costs (like literally 😅 where should I start ) 3- how to write CV 4- visa status and how to choose a suitable visa type Thank you and good luck 👍
i got you in my recommended so i believe your channel is going to be boosted by the algorithem so keeep up the good work this is my first video i see you but i love it already
Congratulations on matching! I’m an IMG aiming for dermatology so I’m sure your videos will be very helpful. How far ahead should I apply for electives? I haven’t taken Step 1 yet but once I have I’ll only have 1 year of medical school left so I’m afraid I won’t be able to secure one in time
First of all I really would like to congratulate you for accomplishing this, i know it's quite exhausting and hard journey for an IMG yet you did it and for sure the future is still ahead of you my question is: when it comes to research and electives, one of the most important part of doing them is having a very settled financial statement which definitely has a HUGE impact whether in making dicistions or paying for electives.etc, so how much it cost you to do all that? Again contrats
Congratulations on matching looking forward to take USCE as well but I am taking another way into residency by working in surgical field as surgical assistant. If your hospital looking for a certified SA in future you can recommend me as I will be certified by ABSA as SA-C
No one ever answer you about that. Simply there is rich people who can spend 4 years without working anf have the money to live and eat in USA. And you have to pay money to make electives too.
Congrats! Can you tell us more about your interview and your thinking process to choose your current location (hospital) to do your plastics residency?
First of all congratulations Dr. Assad for your achievement, you definitely earned it. My question for you, as we all know getting into any surgery department in the US is hugely competitive especially for IMGs. It's very annoying when I think of it, as I am very afraid not getting the chance to match into a surgery program after working hard and moving into the US. Most of the things you mentioned that are important other than the USMLEs scores are hard to obtain in other countries, or they might be simply not acknowledged or recognized by the US institutions. So it is kind of very confusing. I don't know if whether shall I take the risk and move into the US to be able to obtain such accreditations (LOR, research programs, etc ...) What would be your advice
thanks alot Dr.Malke for sharing with us your amazing journey... I have one question about electives ,is it important to do elective in the US or it doesn't matter where to do them?
Thanks for an excellent video & congrats on your successful application! I was wondering how did you get involved in peer-reviewing for journals? At what stage of your career can you apply to be a peer reviewer?
Hi! Congrats for the amazing achievements! 👏👏👏 I’m a cardiac surgeon from India looking to do advanced fellowship course in the US. Could u please help me on that
Great video! Thank you! You said you had only 3 online publications while you mentioned you had 46 other publications as well... could you please explain more about this part! I think I didn’t get it...
Mashallah great job! Thanks for sharing. When did you graduate ? And what was the time line you did all these things especially research . I feel it takes so much time
Quesiont: First of all, Congratulations!!! My question is, how did you fund yourself during the research, volunteering, electives, etc.? I think it is important to know the costs of this as not everyone can afford it. Your explanation will be very helpful. Thank you
can you enlist general surgery programs which prefer taking their research fellows for example after spending 1-2 years in their program, and at the same time mentors in these programs are friendly and productive . are u of Illinois Chicago , u of Alabama and u of Maryland in this list ?
Thanx Dr I wanna ask how many years do you spend until you have a plastic surgery residency? If l am a plastic surgery residence in Syria or I have finished residency and have Syrian board in plastic surgery could be useful for match plastic surgery residency in USA?
amazing!! how did you find the time to do all of this? I study in Jordan and we barely get any breaks between semesters so Im stressing about being able to leave to the US to do clerkships without missing out on uni..:/ any advice?
There something no one talks about it. The money!! So for all this electives, observerships and 2 years of research...how all of that costs ?? If there any chance to get a paid research position? And when no? How man can get some money while working in research?
congratulations Doc. Malke Asaad. excuse me what about neurosurgery in this match? specifically, scores? thanks for your answers. =) hugs from Peru in South America! =)
Congrats!! You did a great job… I want to ask you how much time did every step of this journey take ? Because I can see you have done a plenty of huge achievements … Also, I want to ask about your visa status which might be the most important factor for IMGs (especially the Syrian ones 😅) Good luck
How many years did you spend in us before getting the residency like I mean to ask how many years does it take to get the residency there? Especially plastic surgery residency
What type of visa were you issued that allowed you to stay in the US for so long (since graduation till you matched)? Any tips on how to get that visa? Thank you and congratulations.
Can I do elective on my internship year ?? Also if did IFOM BSE before my USMLE step 1 to know how I'm doing well or bad and to get the experience of these exams. Your recommendations make a different!
Really amazing! Congrats!! I have a question, when would you recommend to start research and US experience as an IMG? Before or after graduating from medical school? It's really hard being an IMG and not having the resources to go to the US as a medical student. Thanks for your answer :)
