I can imagine how you feel after missing all those important events both family and friends! I’m glad you decided to sacrifice for your dream residency, we all proud of you! I just graduated and currently waiting on getting a job hopefully. It’s honestly just so nerve wracking specially when everything is up in the air. Glad your residency is going well! 💜
Hey! It was nice hearing your reflections, in many ways I could relate as a UK junior Doctor also starting in the midst of a global pandemic 😅 Hope you and your family keep safe inshallah ❤️
So glad to hear you could relate! It's always tough starting any new job, especially one like this where the stakes and responsibilities are so high! Praying we all stay safe during this difficult time!
I've been following your journey on Instagram and it's been so exciting and inspiring to watch. I have the same dream to move abroad to the US and complete my residency there. Sometimes I get so discouraged by the many possible obstacles I would encounter as an IMG and I often wonder if I'll ever achieve these goals since no one around me is doing it. But seeing you motivates me to know that it is possible 🥰 I can't wait to see more videos from you thank you so much for sharing your journey it is so helpful in so many ways ✨💛
This is so exciting to watch and hear about!! Sometimes in med school you can lose sight of what’s it’s all for but this such an interesting and honest insight to listen to. Looking forward to more videos!😊💛
It's so interesting to see this video, while you're almost halfway through intern year (thank you sharing your days on your insta stories btw, i love them!) !❤❤ & I love your motivational words at end, it honestly means a lot!
Aah I absolutely love how you talk and how expressive, honest and genuine you are! I'm just a 1st year HBSc student in Canada with no idea if I'll do med but I still watch your videos because of how sweet you are and how you present yourself! Hate comments will always be there but look at the 10x people who love you! If you could perhaps collab with someone who knows about becoming a doc in the US/Canada starting off in a canadian/US university, things about the MCAT, timelines etc, I'd really appreciate that!
This is such an inspiring video, thank u so much for sharing ur experience! I'm a med student hoping to one day be able to apply for residency outside. And ur words are so motivating, they give me so much hope in rly tough times, especially when everything sometimes feels too difficult or impossible.❤
Love your video representing life as a doctor in NY. In Malaysia's health system, after a medical student graduated, we have to go through 2 years of mandatory training as what we called as 'housemanship' training. Definitely, its very challenging time for every doctors but IsyaAllah you will be doing great in your residency sister. Best wishes!
I am a 2nd year med student and I always get so inspired watching your videos and instagram stories. Thank you shirin for sharing your journey you with us.
Hello! It’s always a pleasure to hear from you .I have finished my step 1 and step 2ck .looking for observership programs ...with this pandemic everything seems a challenge to me , having heard you say that it is your first day! ..I can relate to this as well. .first day no matter how exciting it seems ,at the end of the day it will be a memorable one .
I love how motivating your last videos are 😭💕 I'm a first year medical student in Spain and I'd really love to do my residency in the US. It felt very reassuring to hear your story and what you said about "waiting" for 1.5 years after graduating. I hope you're enjoying your training there!

Hey Shirin dii, Long time no see🙄 But happy ❤️ to see u Upload more frequently even though I know I am being greedy :) Video request: Know me video Lots of love and dua frm 🇮🇳🇮🇳 May Allah make this journey easier happier healthier for u nd ur family Amén ❤️ ❤️
Hi Shirin, hope your job is going great despite the COVID situation❤️❤️ how long did you spend on clinical experience (clinical electives) in the US before applying for residency? Does a clinical rotation of 4 weeks suffice as clinical experience for residency as an IMG? Thanks ❤️❤️
Hi! So interesting video! What is your input on getting a job as an assistant at the hospital while studying Medicine. Is the experience essential to get a residence in the UK/USA? As a Norwegian student, there is a lot of pressure to get experience during Medical Studies.
Hi Salma! It really depends on how well you balance your time! There is definitely time for extra curricular and having a part time job during medical school - but you don't want to over burden yourself and burn out! So make sure you manage your time well and don't sacrifice your studies too much!
