You try to get some externships in order to have letters of recommendation from US physicians that greatly improve you chances in the Match...that is if ur still a student bec there is no malpractice insurance for IMGs.

to el ahly el mota7ad...No, unless you buy a malpractice insurance..look for observerships..better than having done nothing at all
to icehell...apply 6 months before the exam, the issue is all about seats available in Amideast...and apply online...look for exam requirements in ECFMG website...buy the DVDs men maktabet el gam3a..download eh bas?

no 3eb 3alek...you study the slides that are in the MCQs and there were some slides in the DVDs,, and my advice from akhook el sagheer look at slides, X-Rays and CT scans on the internet as much as you can.
if you get an observership, LORs will not be quite relevant because they cant comment on your clinical skills but again better than nothing.

[5] form 344.....this form has a checklist which contains all the needed documents and you should check what you'll send in it and send it with your papers

you'll find all these documents and forms available at ECFMG site to download and print.

I am a 5th year student and studying step 2 along with my clinical rotations, i.e. im now taking Pediatrics and studying it from step 2 as well. Which means that I will be studying step 2 for 2 years man plz DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE USMLE!! im not saying u should give it 2 years but it would be of no benefit if i take it earlier...6 months are not too much and DO NOT listen to people's talks who havent taken the USMLE otherwise ur gonna be shocked in the exam.
Before taking step 1, I was told to know the MCQs by heart because they will be the same in the actual test...BULLSHIT....egyptians = efta2at.
Ive met a miserable doc yesterday in ma3mal el borg who failed step 1 twice!!
dont just look at unsuccessful experiences though, just keep both in mind!

NOOOOOOOO....6 months are NOT too much for CK at all......
those people taking it in 3 and 4 months or less are doing nothing in their life but studying.....they wake up to study...., read books while they're eating.....no work, no faculty, no life at all
if you are in faculty like Faddy, or graduated and working like me....you'll find your self with only 5 or 6 hours max. availablr per day.....and believe me there's lot of work to do to get ready for the exam.....give it its time to get satisfactory results...
Best of luck

Hurghada? did u hear about a bald hunter? its me im going every vacation we have a place in marlin inn.

americans take the USMLE in a month or so but the issue is different for IMGs.
