ERAS-Training - immuno
#1
Under training, for IMG with one year of internship( we call it internship in our country, and here its residency), so under training should we put that? As I did during ECFMG application. Now, in this area they ask for specialty, in my case or many others like me, there are 2 specialties, such as Medicine and gyne/obs. And we put the name of professor under supervisor. What to put in program director?
Are you guys leaving it blank or filling that up? Please help. anyone pathology or anyone?

program director is the women or mostly men who is the like director of the program. you guys might call it chair, chairman, chairwoman. director...whatever you call it, write the name of that person.

if u r frm india, then lemme clarify, internship in india is not residency.
if u have done postgraduation o(M.d) which is 3 years, thats what is residency...
internship is part of education because we dont ger MBBS degree without it!

ok, I am not from India, but we dont need 1 year internship for degree, because they give the degree right away. So, after we get the degree, few of my classmates came here without that 1 year internship and got into residency here. And for me and others, who completed 1 year internship,got a license to practice over there, which is renewed every 5 years.

Actually we need that 1 year internship for practicing over there, degree is given prior to that. So, I guess, I have no one with me on this here. But by no means I intend to fool PDs, my intention is to type all information accurately.

Thanks your input, if anyone has similar situation, feel free to comment.
