Well, I've read that sentence in a website a couple of months ago (..don't remember the URL). So they say it's getting even harder for a foreign medical graduate (FMG) to get a residency in the United States. That may lead to sending the foreign doctors to remote places, like rural areas,..etc. Racism? mm,.. I think it's like "Yes and No" at the same time. Why "No" ?Rationally, people of a

As a PG aspirant, I used to ask my seniors if there was some easy way to read Harrison’s medicine textbook and what to read in it. I was usually recommended to read it as a whole. During that time all my attempts were to do the same, but at the end, I recognised we could also have the same results in approaching the text in a different way, by knowing what to read, knowing what topics to

1. Bimanual examination (procedure explained and consent taken).There was a feeling of cystic swelling at the opening of cervix and I found it difficult to palpate for fornices; uterus was retroverted (that is what I think).

I studied 7 months for this exam. I would suggest between 5-6 months is also a good prep period. I think it is important to do your Step 1 first as a lot of questions are about basic pathophysiology/mechanism of disease and you would only be able to answer these questions well if you have a sound knowledge of basic sciences. Although I know that some people have done well in Step 2 CK even

Validity of Scores The USMLE program assures the validity of scores reported for USMLE examinations by every means available. Your scores may be classified as indeterminate if the scores are at or above the passing level and the USMLE program cannot certify that they represent a valid measure of your knowledge or competence as sampled by the examination. The USMLE program may make

Examination Results and Scoring When you take Step 1, Step 2 CK, or Step 3, the computer records your responses. After your test ends, your responses are transmitted to the NBME for scoring. The number of test items you answer correctly is converted to two equivalent scores, one on a three-digit score scale and one on a two-digit score scale. Both scales are used for score-reporting

The USMLE program has established rules to govern administration of the examinations to ensure that no examinee or group of examinees receives unfair advantage on the examination, inadvertently or otherwise. The rules include standard test administration conditions consistent with the principles on which the examinations are developed and scored. For example, examinations are designed to sample

Normal score reporting for Step 1 usually occurs in 3-4 weeks. However, because of necessary modifications to the test item pool as well as the processing load caused by a heavy volume of test takers, there will be a delay in score reporting for most Step 1 examinations administered in late May and June. The target date for reporting Step 1 scores for most examinees testing from May 19 through

Our rational side wants to postpone the decision until we know more. Our emotional side wants to avoid the decision altogether to escape the anxiety that uncertainty inevitably brings.Decision-making on the USMLE is different than medical decision-making in the real

Nearly one hundred thousand patient deaths per year are attributed to provider error, according to a November 1999 report by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. Overwork and exhaustion are sources of such errors. And among all doctors, the most overworked are medical residents--medical school graduates employed by teaching hospitals ostensibly to receive training in a medical

Residency is a stage of postgraduate medical training in North America and leads to eligibility for board certification in a primary care or referral specialty. It is filled by a resident physician who has received a medical degree (M.D. or D.O.) and is comprised almost entirely of the care of hospitalized or clinic patients, mostly with direct supervision by more senior physicians. A residency

OverviewThe immune response (IR) plays a pivotal role in the control of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. As a noncytopathic virus, HCV has developed successful mechanisms for evading the IR of the host. Successful evasion can lead to chronic infection, which culminates in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in selected individuals. The IR to HCV infection is the first line of defense against

William Straub, MDMany healthcare professionals who are retired or nearing retirement may regret the loss of professional identity and collegiality, as well as usefulness, that accompanies retirement. Golf, gardening, and travel may satisfy some during the "Golden Years," but eventually many would like something more. Returning to what they do best, practicing their profession and helping others

There are many aspects in IELTS that people find surprising, usually when it hits them hard. It is quite a paradox – the information is right there, available to everyone, yet people are still in the dark. Allow me to draw your attention to several facts you don’t want to be surprised about.Usually extensive answer is considered a very good one, but not in IELTS. When instructions say “give one

Students too often put off a written assignment, considering it a chore too formidable to approach until the last minute. As a result, grades inevitably suffer. Writing is not a talent reserved for a select few, it is a skill that can be learned. Planning and organization are its essentials. With a knowledge of these, the student can through effort and practice improve his writing ability.

Traveling around the country I find that more and more people have an urge to pry into such difficult subjects as science, philosophy, religion, economics and political theory.More often than not, however, this urge soon dries up. People find that the book which they open with high hopes of enlightenment turns out to be beyond their grasp. Actually, any book intended for the general reader can be

1. Take a pencil in your hand.2. Read the essay over once, quickly, looking for the main idea, for what the essay is about in general, and for what the author seems to be saying. Don't get bogged down in details. (If you come to an unfamiliar word, circle it but go on reading).3. Check the meaning of unfamiliar words. If they seem to be key words, i.e., if the author uses them more than once,
