Here are the highlights of this episode:
Ever wondered if gaining residency is possible for Old-IMGs? After completing medical school in Cuba, Dr. Marie-Ange began practicing medicine in Haiti before moving to Spain to complete her masters before doing the same. As such, she was already an experienced doctor before deciding to pursue residency in the US. Despite her having graduated medical school a while back, she was still able to go through the residency process as an older IMG while being an active mother and wife!
Are you facing USMLE failure? Unfortunately, due to her facing challenges such as limited guidance and lack of familiarity with the US education system, Dr. Marie-Angle failed her step 1 exam the first time, but she didn’t let that stop her! In a truly inspiring fashion, she kept trying, identified her gaps in knowledge and passed the second time around!
What if you don’t match the first time? Dr. Marie-Ange’s story is truly one of resilience and refusal to let go of one’s dream. Despite her not having matched the first time, she did the work to improve her application packet and matched the second time. She credits the IMG Roadmap Course for having helped her on this journey!
