I am also doing it my friend. first where you are looking for, 2ndly you are an MD and 3rd are you looking for paid research or voluntary and fourth do you need visa sponsorship etc

2) No i am not an MD 3) Voluntary is fine 4) I don't need visa thanks again...

well NIH funded research requires either MD or PHD degrees. you can go for the research assistant post but cannot appply for the post doctoral research fellowship or research fellowship. Look for the Universities not the community hospitals. I hope this may work for you . Univesities have the research while community programs dont

If voluntary id OK, you should make a move. I just went to the nearest university hospital, cardiology research guy, and explain that I am waiting for residency , want to stay in touch with medicine and clinics+ want to make something usefull of my time. I offered my cardiac sonographer skills, they had a research I could hwlp with, after two weeks I got involved in more projects, then great LOR, observership itp.
good luck |
