Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by peacettw: 5:28pm On Nov 28, 2013
It is a tendon hammer. Cool right? Already ordering one. Saw it with a resident doctor last 2 years but couldn't order for it since the shipping cost then was enormous. Just called the seller and it really does come with a free name tag for stethoscopes. Yippee! I really need that name tag esp since I just bought a master classic 2 littmann stethoscope that cost me an arm and a leg. Thank me later guys. Gotta run

I have seen quite some students and doctors use it I the center I work with. Also think it is unique and price seems fair. Where are you based at and how will you get yours? Need to know cos I need one myself for keeps.

Since you're yet to start pre-clinicals and pre-med, the best you can do is prepare your mind.

Well- the aim of writing usmle is to get into residency in the us. And as IMGs we are already disadvantaged. USMLE alone is not enough to earn a spot. A lot of factors will determine whether you'll get in. E.g the specialty you're applying to, your usmle scores, the strength of your letters of recommendations, your personal statement etc etc

And about usmle- it's not enough to write this exam. As an IMG, it is a matter of priority that you ace this exam. Once you pass, there is no room for improvement. If you pass, you don pass. And your number of trials will bring down your chances of getting a spot.

As a Nigerian medical undergraduate, I have been severely disadvantaged in taking this exam. USMLE needs exclusive preparation. Unfortunately, after my 100 level, we don't have any official holiday till graduation. The little I've had is a 3-week break after Part 2 MB Exam and the public holidays. The rest of the days are very indulging. So I can't write this exam because 1) if I ace usmle, I'll mess up at home. 2) I need to ace home stuff- that's where the stakes lie. I'm saying this to say that if your school's academic calendar is convenient, you can sneak in study for this exam and ace it. I won't advise that you prioritise usmle over home stuff. There will be ample time for usmle later...even after graduation.

However, one thing which you must have before graduation (notice how I said "must"wink, is USCE( US Clinical Experience). I highly suggest that anyone that wants to do residency in the US must do his/her final year electives in the United States. This is the only chance you can get to have direct-contact with patients...and not mere observerships. Those folks prefer folks with USCE over those with observerships or worse still- those without. There are some hospitals that don't require USMLE before you do your electives. You can always know them.

I wish you good luck in all your endeavours.

Dr lomaxx, thanks for this insightful post. I think USCE is the surest way to getting strong letters of recommendation.
