Hi everybody, I´m from Guadalajara, I´m preparing for Step 1. I would like to ask you:
1) How do you choose the hospital where you want to make your residency? Is there any discrimination in this topic for being mexican?
2) Is there any discrimination/racism during your residency for being mexican and what about the work after finishing your speciality?
I would like to begin my participation in this great page with these questions.
Thank you :roll:

Hi,
I am pretty confident that the answer is NO for both of your questions regarding the discrimination/racism.
However, on places where lot of people talk spanish (Southern California for example) there may be a plus knowing the language and you are more prone to be hired.
Thanks for joining our forums!
Regards!

Hello bigdreams,
By any chance do you have notes from the kaplan course for the USMLE?
I live in near Guadalajara right now but I will be going back to the US at the end of this month.

chemanr,
racism is not really an issue when it comes to where you want to work. It depends more on how much you know and how prepare you are to practice medicine and how confident you are as a person and profesionist.

thank you for your answers, I have also realized by myself that the answer is NO, there isn´t discrimination or racism, really. It´s just the way SilatK said: It depends more on how much you know and how prepared you are to practice medicine and how confident you are as a person and profesionist.
See you

In general there is no open racism or discrimination toward doctors from other countries.
Still, some patients, especially from small rural communities, may show prejudice against foreigns, people of different faith, or those who look or talk differently form them.
