Dear BBB, I found your dite very interesting and encouraging. I've written this query to another doctor on your site, but you seem to be someone who knows a lot, so I'm going to put my query to you as well. I am currently wrapping up my internship from LNJP Hospital in Delhi and have done my MBBS from MAMC. I am very keen to work in some research based programs and be involved in teaching later in my career. Right now, I am trying to get to the US as I believe that my best options are there. I have given my USMLE Step 1 and am awaitig results. I am also about to give my TOEFL and GRE shortly. I would really appreciate it if you could guide me. I'm confused about whether I should appy for an observership (so I can get a VISA with minimum fuss and utilize it to give my MCAT), or should I apply for an MPH (a tried and tested route my seniors have used). I basically would prefer to get my feet into the American Medical System, before I apply for a residency. I think is important to point out here that finances are a problem at my end, and I would need to support myself. I cannot show the basic minimum fee for a year that most MPH degrees require in my bank account. Irony is that I need to show the money to get there, after which I get a schloarship. Any ideas on how I can get through this ?
Eagerly awaiting your response.
Thanks and warm regards
