Hi Sir,
Congratulations on your very well-explained video! I’m a gynecologist from Spain, currently doing a postdoc fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center. I’ll be taking Step 2 soon and want to apply for a gynecologic oncology fellowship. However, I keep finding that board certification is required, making it difficult for me. Could you offer any advice? I’d be happy to set up an appointment if possible. Thanks!

How would you approach this goal if you were me?

Hello Dr. Rajeev, I'm thankful to you for all of this information. I have 1 question, sir. My brother is MBBS graduate witb 5 yrs of working exp. Back in India and now pursuing MD in blood tranfusion. So my first question is how easy it would be for him to land a job in his stream?
2. If he applies after his MD then does he need to take license or he can start working directly?
3. Does blood transfusion comes in clinical or non clinical ?
I hope ypu will clear my doubts.
