need helo to IL program - usdal

[ArchivalUser]

Is it true that most IL progam had a cut-off of 5yr for date of graduation? Does this mean that old IMG like me can not apply in IL?

When its more than 5 years after graduation, multiple attempts, etc it becomes a challenge to match into a program. It™s not impossible, but it requires extraordinary effort on your side and a lot of luck and planning.

Some strategies you could consider include:-

-Getting US clinical experience if you don™t have it yet, through an observership
-If you have, continue to network with the contacts you made
-Take step 3 if you are positive you are ready for it
-Get solid LOR from US doctors
-If you don™t know any doctors talk to your family and friends, they must have primary care physicians who they can introduce you to and open up a conversation
-Talk to colleagues that are already here, you never know who can put in a word or too.

The competition is just too much, but don™t give up.

Good luck
