0 - ArchivalUser - 01-26-2008 Thanks CS and Muzammil Very useful thoughts. Did discuss with other friends Did not look like a great option Thanks to both of you May the Almighty be with you both Thanks again GL 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-26-2008 guys,anyone knows anything about SIUH i have interview soon for categorical do they have many IMGs in their categorical psotions thnx in advance 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-28-2008 Hi csverysoon, I am a gen surgeon from india. just now got ecfmg certification. i didnt get any ivs as i ve just now completed all the exams and my scores r not very good. can u plz help me any places whr i can try for observership. thanking you. my id is rsaravanandr 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-28-2008 rsaravanandr, almost all the places i know i have listed i know i have listed in page 186. kindly look up. 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-28-2008 to cs, thanks for all the tips, i am trying and hopefully will be successful tc, Yvonne 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-28-2008 Hi Pancreas, Sorry, I came back to India after that interview. Didnt felt looking to this forum as I was nervous. My interview lasted 3 mins with one of the attending. And 10 mins round with resident.... That was my day... I dont feel like coming so I just saw ur message today. Sorry for that. Did u interviewed there??? What was your experience? Thanks 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-29-2008 i had a question. if i start prelim, next year do PGY-2 prelim. thereafter definitely if i am lucky, i would like to start PGY3. but if i am not that lucky, can i again apply for PGY 1 categorical. 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-30-2008 anybody 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-30-2008 as you dont have visa iddues i guess u can reapply to pgy-1. thats what my opinion is. lets see what othes have to say about it. 0 - ArchivalUser - 01-30-2008 repeating the same training under J1 is not permissible. guys speak of circumnavigating this by having different rotations the second time around. thought repeating training is not a problem under H1, you are gonna lose some very important years. H1 is valid only for 6 years so sight seeing is not advisable. if you are a US citizen or a green card, forget about any of these and try residency in Iraq or Afghanistan. heard chances are better there. basically the demand is high right now. just kidding fellows. |
