A great discussion about Blood Biomarkers that aid in detecting Alzheimer’s disease in our Journal Club conference presented by our PGY3 stars @Balvender2458 @ikacquah and Funmi. You set the bar very high👏🏻👏🏻 @MHIM_Baltimore #Imresidency #MedTwitter

Some incoming IM interns inquired about the study resources. Below are some important topics with high quality articles to review: 🧵

Grateful to all my fellow colleagues! 6 months down in residency, great experiences so far. Struggles, challenges and hardships but yet worth going through all this, to be the best and GOAT!

#Match2023 For ROL; Make sure you also consider how far are your friends and family from program of your choice. People always neglect this thing but I am telling you residency is not easy and you need your support system to go through it. I am grateful, I made right choice.

My annual fee for MBBS was 30000 PKR. My entire MBBS for 1.5 lacs which is equivalent to 550 US Dollars. Had I not been born in Pakistan I would have not been able to become a doctor or pursue my dreams & for this I will always be indebted to my country.

@Adeel_A_Sham I didnt mean to ask this directly from PDs. But before ranking, you need to know this thing. It is very important. 26 residents from Pakistan were stuck for months this year and every program had different policy.

@Balvender2458 Absolutely disagree regarding the visa question. You don't want the program to think that you will have ANY issues obtaining a visa. Visa requiring IMGs already have it hard, no need to create another barrier. PDs have plenty of other options to match...

Ask from programs; -Wellness of residents? -How they support residents if they are stuck for visa after match? -Faculty receptive to feedback by residents? -Ask interns; how is their work life balance? -Didactics schedule? -Future goals of program? #Match2023

💯

@mariamtawana Congratulations Mariam!

Alhamdulilah! this journey started 2 years ago and its finally ended . And hopefully ends with me matching ameen✌️. Dear USMLE i officially part ways with you🥳🥳 (in short we are no more together😂😂) . IF i can do it ,anyone can #MedTwitter #PositiveVibes

#Match2023 Things to do before interview: -Make sure you have gone through your ERAS CV again. -Read about program and always be ready if they ask why our program?(Read on website, ask que in meet and greet) -Always check camera is at right position 5 min before start of IV.

The new Zoom culture for Internal Medicine residency interviews can be challenging to ascertain the culture of a residency. Here are some topics/questions I would ask during the session with the current residents. @USFIMres #Medtwitter #MedEd #IMG #match2023 -thread 🧵-

@ReemSulMD Yes. Being an IMG we take every possible chance to get invite from programs. I know you wont get any reponse from most of the programs but still do it.

Is it good to send out letters if interest? Or are we just adding more emails to the already- thousands in the program’s inbox? #match2023 #internalmedicine #InsidetheMatch

@RuchiSoodMD Congratulations ruchi!😄

Tell me about yourself? Open invite to impress your interviewer -90sec response -Include your background and a one-liner about what you have done so far in your life professionally -Talk about your hobbies briefly -What motivates you and how your friends describe you as a person

@Khantastic60 No one knows the perfect timing. I would say now is the good time to do so.

@Balvender2458 Should I send letter of interest to programs? When is a good time to send them?

#Match2023 No interviews yet? Don’t worry! Long long way to go! I got my 1st interview 25-30 days after submitting my application. Hold your nerves, your time will come it is just a start.

@cfshaikh Hey

@Balvender2458 Hello mishal’s friend 😂

@BKetabchi Yes I agree. But at least for common questions its better to have structure rather than freaking out when you have to encounter that question during interview for the first time.

@Balvender2458 These are great questions but I feel like spending 1hr daily is overkill. Hospitals want to get to know you and your passions, but you don’t want to sound scripted

#Match2023 Interview preparation! -Discuss attached questions with your friends who are applying. -Practice by having virtual mock interviews with other applicants. -Make sure you spent atleast one hour daily.
