English,
Someone just asked a question about how to get into anesthesia program (i
assume any residency program). My answers was given in the heat of argument.
It was kinda brief and i don't want it to appear discourage. hence i'd
explain a bit further here.
1. GC. one of the most important issue. without it, chance of success is
much less. but with the same token, if no GC requirement, you may not have
any chance at all. Think about all the fresh graduates from China, they have
less burden, younger, study harder, they will flood the field. More and
more are preparing for USMLE while going medical school, all they need is a
GC, or visa. So if you are in the US, get you GC which ever way you can.
Unfortunately, nobody but your spouse, or your relatives can help you on
this front.
2. Everything else. do the best you can. If you want to go this route, DO
THE BEST YOU CAN. how many time do you need people to shout it in your ear?
If you have questions regarding specific topic, put it out here and i'm sure
someone with the knowledge are more than happy to share their thought. I
did pretty good in USMLE, the highest among the few peoples i know taking
the board at the time. but that doesnt mean i will get 99 now, or even will
do better than most of people here on the board. I can also share with you
how i learned/learning English. but there are people much better than me. NB
is one i know beat me by far on TOEFL. I'm sure there are plenty more
excellent in English, spoken or written. The goals are listed there, how to
get there, you are on your own footing. You have to WALK THE WALK. Watch
people fighting on bbs is not going to be helpful, i'm sure.
The point is to get the most help from the forum, is to get everyone to
contribute, not having one or two id controlling the free flow of ideas. 4
years is enough to show whatever in place before is not going to work. | A*G 发帖数: 256 | |
