Hi Manik
I am JR 3 resident in India
I feel the same
It is difficult to leave India because of the culture, friends, family and freedom

[nnanyelugoanekwe]

This is all I need to be motivated. I will be back here after smashing step 1.

[tangongcaleb]

[sumayamustafa]

The whole process is UK or the US is truly dependent on your personality as he said, in oriental countries we consider the high rank and how much exams we did and passed, while in developed countries it is completely different process, you pass the exams but then you face other challenges you never considered.

That was a close call, lol...

Great video as always Manik... I like your videos so much for the fact that you are one of the few IMGs (and even in general) who radiates genuine vibes. I actually enjoy these videos so much, every time I watch them I get immensely motivated to continue working hard for this dream.

Keep it real brother!

Well you have to go through the grind. Being an American trained physician opens up the whole world for you. Also in this day of social media you guys should well informed about the whole process. Main thing is to get your immigration status in order. Once in the US it’s not that difficult as there is severe shortage of physicians and other health care providers. But you have to work your ass off. Good luck.

[zoyamufti]

I agree the most important aspect is a green card..
The cultural aspect is a big thing as well because when you come to another country, it automatically means you need or rather should be able to welcome their culture which is at times difficult.
Social isolation is a painful process.

Hope you succeed ahead, thanks for the video.

[rbfnrbfn]

That was so well expalined and straight from the heart

[khalidhossain]

Hi Manik, thank you for your video. I noticed that your perspective is very limited based on your description - most probably because you've only been in residency for a short time, and because you are in a Psychiatry residency which is DRASTICALLY different in nature to other types of residency programs; most IMG's go into Internal Medicine or something similar, where culture is VERY different. You are working very easy hours, and it sounds like your hospital program is nice to it's residents, where people respect you. This is NOT typical in most programs in the US. They work residents VERY hard, and especially the first few years, in medicine/surgery they are not treated well. Salary is also very variable based on what you are doing, and where. Most Psychiatrists are making 200 - 250k a year in the US, unless they are open to working in very random rural settings where there is a shortage of physicians, where they would have to compromise on their lifestyle/diversity experience, as they tend to be in places where a significant majority of patients are not multi-cultured, and so things like food options, etc would be tough. Just some observations, I hope you can consider these things as you go along your journey, and keep this perspective in mind. While some people will tell you that they are offered 450k, etc, they are far and few in between, and people like to give misleading numbers.

Perfect Video, Manik Sir, I was totally exactly searching for it!

[dr.soufianeabdouh]

Thank you dear colleague Manik, I follow you from Morocco

Your video reassured me

Hi, I’m an orthopaedic consultant working in India for the last 15 + years and consider myself to be very competitive. My academic background is also not bad considering my All India PG entrance rank of 9, post graduate training in one of the best institutions like MAMC, Delhi.
Now that I have done enough work in my home country, I wish to work in the US, I had a short stint in the UK too which I didn’t enjoy much apart from the training, honestly ……..
I donno if my American dream would be considered unrealistic …….
What are my chances of landing an Orthopedic residency in the US considering I’m already 43 yrs old?
Kudos to your channel. I really enjoyed watching those videos you uploaded. Keep going brother…..

[realzhella]

Dude you're such an inspiration man 🙌....but at the same time everytime I watch your videos I feel nervous and anxious that I won't make it. I just seem so lazy and non committed compared to people like you.

[asjidali]
