I am an IMG from Mumbai India.
I want to specialize in Internal Medicine. I was wondering if an elective /externship is ABSOLUTELY essential??
In the sense, has any IMG got an Int. Med seat through only their USMLE scores? if yes, then what's the score range?
Also, I was thinking of working as a resident in the UK for some time before applying for admissions in the US. My idea is that it would look good on the resume as it would tell them that I've had western world experience in practicing medicine. I'm thinking about this because I'll get paid in the UK as opposed to spending for clinical experience in the US.
Can the UK experience be used as an alternative to US clinical experience? Will I be at the same level as other IMGs who've had some US clinical experience?
