Who wants to help with interview prep. Maybe a buddy system?
We are a team, and will only thrive by building our community and support. Tearing each other down isn't going to help us "win," it just means we all lose
Applying for medical residency in the US as an IMG is complicated. However, I will never understand how some people, IMG's included, are giving bad advices and discourage other applicants. There are many possibilities, don't give up and NEVER loose hope @StoriesImg @IMG_Advocate
