This might have already been said but:

As much I'm loving all of The Pitt fanfiction, I've noticed a lot of people don't seem to understand how the med school and residency system works and it's annoying me. The basic order goes med student->resident->fellow->attending.

If you are a med student, you do not yet have your licence to practice medicine and have not matched to your specialty. If you are working, then you are completing a rotation, which is usually 4-12 weeks, depending on the specialty. Other healthcare disciplines (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, etc) refer to these as work placements. You do not get paid for these placements; actually, you pay to complete these placements. Whittaker and Javadi are med students.

At the end of your fourth year, in the States, you would write the United States Medical Licensing Examination(USMLE). In Canada, you write the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE). The USMLE is completed in three steps. Steps one and two are typically written when you are a med student; step three is written at the end of your first year of residency. Provided you pass steps one and two, you are now a resident. Residents are doctors. Residency is a three to seven year training period in a specialty, e.g., emergency medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, etc. You are matched into your specialty. Matching is, to my understanding, just the most complicated job hiring system in the world. The most important bit to know from a writers perspective is that there is a really good chance that a resident does not have a say in their specialty. A person preparing for residency will go on interviews and rank their preferred specialties and workplaces (meaning the hospital they complete their residency at), and then the hospitals and the departments decide to accept them or not. If you do not get matched, you can go through a process called SOAP, which places you with positions that did not get filled. The only way to change your specialty is to re-start the residency process from scratch. Santos is a first year resident, meaning she would have only passed the steps one and two of the USMLE that spring. This means she is most likely matched into emergency medicine. Although I learned recently that some surgery residencies have their residents complete a year of emergency medicine before starting in the OR. My personal headcanon is that Santos was soaped into emergency medicine, and that is why she was like that in the beginning. Mel and McKay are second year residents, which means they have been working as doctors for at least a year and already have emergency medicine as their specialty. They most likely would have completed all three steps to the USMLE It is mentioned in the first episode that Mel did her first year at a VA hospital which is apparently a common thing to do in the states. Mohan is a third year resident. I think this makes Robbie's comments to Mohan about switching to psychiatry really mean cause he's basically telling her to consider re-starting her residency when she's more than halfway finished. Collins, Langdon, and Garcia are fourth year or senior residents. Emergency medicine has a four year residency, so this means that they are almost done with their residencies. Surgery can have a five year or longer residency, so Garcia might still be a resident in the next season. Due to Langdon having to take most of the year away from work, he will have to re-start his fourth year.

After your residency is completed, you have the option to complete a fellowship. Not all specialties require a fellowship. These are take anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Emergency medicine does not require the completion of a fellowship, although there are a lot of options available. These are basically highly specialized training on topics in your specialty. For example, John Hopkins offers a fellowship in combat medicine for those specializing in emergency medicine.

After all of that: congratulations, you are now a doctor in attending aka an attending doctor. This means no more exams, just a re-licencing test every 5 years. You can take on residents and med students of your own to supervise, or not. No one is going to make you. You can also easily move now as you do not have to stay with the hospital you matched to for your residency. Getting a job goes back to the much more normal and not as stressful process of a job instead of the hellscape that is the residency matching program. Robbie, Abbot, Shen, Parker, and Walsh are attendings.

(Edit: Parker is a senior resident. I think I saw Parker's energy and assumed she was already an attending)

USMLE Step Guide for Indian Students

To practice medicine in the United States, successfully passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination, commonly known as the USMLE Exam, is mandatory. The USMLE is a three-step exam comprising Step 1, Step 2CK, and Step 3, sponsored by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). IJSMLE Step 1 is a computer-based exam conducted over one day, evaluating your knowledge of basic sciences crucial for medical practice.

It is typically taken after the second year of medical school and assesses your grasp of essential concepts and principles in basic sciences. The focus is on understanding how these concepts relate to health, disease, and treatment, ensuring a strong foundation for lifelong learning in medicine.

Eligibility Criteria: To be eligible for the USMLE Step 1, you must be:

A current medical student or graduate of a U.S. or Canadian medical school leading to the MD degree, accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).

A current medical student or graduate of a U.S. medical school leading to the DO degree, accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).

For International Medical Graduates (IMGs) to be eligible for the USMLE Step 1, they must:

Be officially enrolled in a medical college or university listed in the World Directory Of Medical Schools (WDOMS).

Fulfill other eligibility criteria specified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Refer to the usmle.org website for updated information.

ECFMG Registration: To register for the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1, complete the online process through the USMLE website. The registration process includes the following steps:

Create an ECFMG account and apply for ECFMG Certification. Receive your ECFMG ID and password in about two weeks.

Fill out the USMLE Step 1 Application form on the ECFMG website, pay the exam fee, and select your eligibility period within a three-month window.

Complete and mail Form 183 to ECFMG, ensuring the college dean's signature on the form matches the one on file.

Await your scheduling permit from ECFMG, which will be sent via email within 2-3 weeks of mailing Form 183. This permit is crucial for your exam day; review it for accuracy.

[idyllic-irsay]

I'm preparing for USMLE STEP 1, and it has been a wild ride so far.

I'll probably give the exam in October, although I haven't set the date yet.

To stay productive, I'll share my studying journey here, mentioning how many blocks I did in a day and what else I did.

I have 85 days to go.

So this is day 1/85.

[shiningneedlecastle]

You uhh... you wanna talk about the med school residency, bud?

oh lol i didn't think i was gonna get an ask about it, thanks for asking. i'm actually not quite in residency yet, just med school. 2nd year

just so happens to be the part of med school where you study for this fuckmassive 8 hour exam named USMLE step 1 that covers every part of the curriculum (and also a bunch of outside shit since too many students passing = less money the host company gets to charge us to retake the exam). for perspective, the summary book for it named first aid is ~750 pages long and everything in there is fair game.

people regularly study for this exam with a schedule of ~10 hours a day for 6 weeks straight no breaks. that's what I'm doing now but i wanted to be careful so i planned mine to be 9 weeks. that's bc my med school itself didn't prepare us well for that despite us paying 60k+ tuition a year. a real shit tier lectures and wasted money type of thing. people also regularly experience both physical and mental health problems from studying for the exam to the point it's just expected

i've heard things from current M3s (3rd year med school students) about 24 hour straight shifts while having to study for board exams at the same time. also stuff about residents often having 80 hour work weeks, sometimes without one/both weekend days off. the work itself is naturally strenuous since it's doctor stuff. the sort of situation that gets overworked residents into car crashes from falling asleep at the wheel due to how exhausted they are. fun little article about that phenomenon here. notice that first line "Resident physicians often work longer than 24 consecutive hours with little or no sleep." btw residents get paid ~$20 an hour on average

currently wondering what to do with the fact the next couple years for me are gonna be the (probably? hopefully it won't get worse later?) shittiest time of my life. i can't really get out of that without wasting the preparation i did specifically for this, aka SHITLOAD of grinding i've been doing since start of university so close to a decade now. i realize at this point that this field might not be for me but the concept of exiting now and losing so many years of my life to stress and endless studying for nothing in return + a fuckload of debt makes me pretty unhappy

this probably sounds whiny or something but i'm in not a great spot mentally tbh.

[patient-in-med-school]

30|01|2024 - 25/70 of productivity

There’s still a long road ahead of me. One more regular exam before I can finally go all in with the preparations for the first state exam that I will take in March. It’s quite comparable to the USMLE 1 I would say. It’s a two day written exam and one oral exam. After that, the preclinical semesters will be behind me and I will finally be in my first clinical semester. Oh, how I’m looking forward to that.

My mental health and chronic physical illness took a real toll on me the last years, so I am very proud of how far I’ve come. But now that I’m so close to achieving the first big step (well, actually the second one considering how hard it is to get into med school), my motivation has grown and I’m dedicated to keep studying for the next weeks.

How to Get a Medical Residency in the USA as an International Medical Graduate

Choosing to the medical residency for IMG medical students in USA is the best opt. With world-class training opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities, landing a coveted US residency spot allows you to advance your skills and expertise to the highest level.

However, getting a US medical residency as an IMG involves a step-by-step process with many requirements along the way. By understanding and following the key steps, you’ll place yourself in the best position to match into your desired residency program.

1) Register with the USMLE

Your first step when applying for US residency positions is registering with the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). The USMLE is a three-step exam assessing an IMG’s medical knowledge and clinical skills. It is a core requirement when applying to US residency programs.

Registering is an easy process online via the USMLE website. You’ll need to create an account and provide background information on your medical education and credentials. This allows you access to schedule test dates and testing center locations.

Registering with the USMLE is the vital first step for IMGs seeking US medical residencies.

2) Pass the USMLE Exams

The next step is successfully passing all required USMLE exams. These are challenging, marathon tests covering a wide range of topics. Thorough preparation through dedicated study time and practice questions is a must.

The USMLE step structure is:

Step 1 - Assesses core concepts in basic medical sciences. Often taken after 2nd year of med school.

Step 2 CK - Focuses on medical knowledge application in clinical settings. Taken during 3rd year typically.

Step 2 CS - Evaluates clinical and communication skills through interactions with standardized patients.

Scoring well on your USMLEs signals to residency programs your strong medical knowledge foundation. It also indicates readiness for the fast-paced rigors of a US residency.

Many IMG applicants space out their exam schedule over a 1-2 year timeframe. Create your own prep timeline backward from desired residency start dates.

Allow plenty of dedicated study time to pass the USMLE exams.

3) Get Valuable Clinical Experience in the USA

In addition to tests, US residencies want applicants exposed to the American healthcare system and culture.

Gaining clinical experience in the US through observerships and clinical electives are a big advantage. These allow you hands-on learning of workflows, systems, treatments, technologies, patient populations, documentation, communication norms and more in American hospitals and clinics.

Observership organizations like Prasad Medical Center (+1 718-774-6060) assist IMGs in securing observership positions across the country. Be sure to research and understand program eligibility terms before applying.

Even a few weeks of US clinical experience can give that important edge among competitive applicants.

US clinical experience highlights adaptability to American medical norms.

4) Register with the AAMC

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has two key systems you must access during your application process:

MSPE (Medical Student Performance Evaluation) – Official record of medical education including grades, rankings and assessment.

ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) – Centralized online application portal distributing all materials to selected residency programs.

Register with AAMC early to get your credentials verified, understand each platform and have ERAS documentation ready when application season starts.

Connecting with the AAMC is essential throughout the residency hunt.

5) Pick your Residency Programs

When deciding which residency programs to apply for, start broad. Identify specialties matching your interests, strengths and USMLE scores. Use online directories to make a list of reach, reasonable match and safety options across several states or regions.

Factors like location competitiveness, program size, IMG match history and curriculum emphasis can help you categorize options. Have a few safety choices with higher IMG acceptance rates.

Research programs thoroughly to have residency options at each level.

6) Get your ECFMG Token and Register with ERAS

Once programs are selected, activate your ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) token. This allows ERAS to verify your test scores, credentials and identity when applying.

Next, access your MyERAS applicant profile. Add your exam history, experiences, publications and other credentials that programs will review.

Double and triple check all entries for accuracy before submitting to avoid costly mistakes or delays.

MyERAS is your central application hub throughout the residency process.

7) Finalize Documentation and Submit ERAS Application

With your MyERAS profile complete, finalize all required documentation:

Personal statement

Medical school transcripts

MSPE Dean’s letter

Letters of recommendation (3+)

School catalogues

Proofread all materials thoroughly before uploading to ERAS by the deadlines. Activate program selections and assign supporting documents for each.

Carefully prepare all pieces of your ERAS application package.

8) Medical Residency Interview

With a strong application submitted early, interview offers should follow!

Interview formats vary widely across residencies. Common options include one-on-one, panel interviews, multiple mini interviews (MMIs) and virtual interviews.

Careful preparation is key. Research programs, polish answers to common questions, hone your communication style, dress professionally and send prompt thank you notes.

Treat travel associated interviews as 24/7 assessments of fit. Be gracious, avoid complaining and share your passion for medicine and interest in the program.

Interviews are critical to sealing a residency position – make the most of them!

9) Register with the NRMP

After interviewing, register with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) by late January. Creating your NRMP account starts the matching process based on how you rank programs and how they rank applicants.

The yearly Match Day in mid-March reveals results simultaneously to applicants across the country. This coordinated effort fills nearly 40,000 residency roles each spring.

Understand match statistics for given specialties and programs to set realistic expectations before this nerve-wracking day!

Learning match nuances helps ease the anticipation leading up to Match Day!

10) Residency Post-Match Focus

If matched, congratulations on achieving that coveted US residency program spot! Notify all relevant parties, celebrate thoroughly and handle any needed visa application processes.

Review program details to address required paperwork, licensing, preparations or moving requirements before start dates. Share excitements and ask graduated residents for advice as you transition to this intense but rewarding new chapter!

For those not matched, don’t be discouraged! Strategize about strengthening certain areas of your application and discuss options with mentors. Often success comes with perseverance and giving yourself the best opportunities the following year.

We hope this overview gives international medical graduates more clarity on the pathway to getting a US medical residency. While challenging, thousands achieve this goal annually through careful planning, dedication to preparation, and showing your passion for serving US patient populations.

If you still need assistance securing clinical experience or have any other questions along your journey, don’t hesitate to contact the knowledgeable team at Prasad Medical Center at (+1 718-774-6060) or visit https://www.prasadmedicalcenter.com/ We wish you the best of luck in achieving your American medical career dreams!
