SAIRAM.Pavanpari , I have been in the U.S for 12 yrs now, I`ve been on-off working with various doctors, I have 4 LORs from u.s doctors & USCE. Now iam currently in to 6th month of externship with an internist. I have a community hospital in my area with 100% FMGs and I have pretty good relations with the doctors in the area, all I need are my usmle scores & ECFMG certification. but iam a 13 yr old graduate,so thats a negative. i just need to get thru these exams with Baba`s help and maybe I`ll get there. Iam taking online kaplan webprep, iam thru 60% of the lectures,and have lot to do on my Q bank, after Iam done with these may be I`ll take usmle world if I have time, yeah on the forums everybody is suggesting usmle world.
I am very hesitant about combined studies on skype as we need to find someone with the same caliber, not too slow or too fast, so I don`t know if I`ll ever try but u r right that we need interaction. I couldn`t find a live lecture series in my area,that would have been a good exposure. I sometimes feel lonely studying and loose the momentum, thats when I came to this site. enough about me.
may Baba bless u with a residency match for 2011 in a desired program of u`r choice. SHRI SATCHITANAND SADGURU MAHARAJ KI JAI, may Baba be with us all to guide and protect us. SAIRAM.
