hi everyone, I was recently introduced to this forum and discussion. I am a practicing physician in United States and have worked here for the past 10 years. It is getting more difficult to get into US (due to mass migration of docs who were in UK previously). Having said that, once you get a residency position, and pass your board exams, the future is still good here. I recently started a blog at foreignbornmd.com It is a self-funded venture and focuses on the financial aspects of doing your USMLE/residency interviews in America. Please message me if you have questions on this.

Thank you! My only problem is to get connected to those who are serious about coming to the US for residency. I am available if anyone wants to PM me about specific questions or details. I have worked hard for 10+ years, and I am seeing evidence of my success (net worth = > 2 million!). However, it is definitely getting harder for international graduates to get into residency programs because Medicare did not increase residency spots when there are more US medical students graduating. As such, there are a lot of preparation ahead of time in order to be a competitive candidate. The good thing about United States is once you get into residency + pass Boards = attending. Even in family medicine or internal medicine, that means a guaranteed income of minimum 175-200K, most of the time, you can earn more if you work hard. Especially with challenges in getting into specialist slots in UK and we all know the issues trying to become a specialist in Malaysia, this is a good option for many medical school graduates. Anyway, I hope this is helpful to you all.

Happy to help. Best way is to contact me via my website or send me an email - foreignbornmd@gmail.com
I check the forums every few days as well.
