During one of my IVs one attending was like “Wow it’s impressive that for you your safe haven is 40 ft up the ground climbing a rock” and that only made me realize that it might sound crazy but yes 😝 up there I forget about my problems and just focus on what the next move is

I’ve had a few IVs in Spanish and when that happens it’s incredible how quick I connect with the interviewer- It’s like I’ve known them for years. It feels more like home and I am able to fully express myself. Besides, I feel I’m cooler in Spanish hehe 😉 1/

@mahad_minhas Pathways usually open between May/June each year. I would definitely try to take OET and Step 2 before or right after pathways open so that you can get ECFMG certified as soon as they open. Also when you get your certificate, I recommend that you take step 3. Best of luck!💕

@olsonplanner I am an IMG and my school didn’t offer any prep for Steps. I paid for Kaplan and Uworld, didn’t have any formal tutor or anything, just asked friends that took the same path. Did fine! I passed step 1, 2CK and 3. Applied to residency and hopefully will match next week 🙏🏼😊

The question about what makes me different from other candidates is so hard to answer. IDK the other candidates but I’m sure they’re stars.I like to start answering this question with“What I know I can bring into the table is my story, because that has made me who I am today” 🧵

I like rock climbing because in a way, it’s a mirror of life. You try,you fail, you stand up,you try again. In the climbing world, people post videos finishing their routes,but let’s normalize not finishing them and posting about it🧗🏻‍♀️here’s to a V4 I’m projecting.Progress is key!
