USMLE
AND ITS BENEFITS
If you are a medical student and looking for a way out, I will
guide you through your options. the best way for a doctor who passed the exam
recently is to give USMLE step1 & 2 here
is why
Benefits:
1.you can apply for a residency seat in
HAMAD medical corporation which is in QATAR.(requirements is step1 &2)
2.if you have studied for Step 2 CK. Then you
can apply for the license exam in Saudi Arab.
If u
get a good mark you can apply FOR A RESIDENCY IN KING FAHAD MEDICAL COLLEGE.
*you will get paid in these residencies. Don’t
worry
3.you can give any license exams of the
middle east like Qatar,Bahrain,UAE,Kuwait ,oman
As all of them requires you to pass their
license exam which follows the exact pattern of USMLE step 2 ck.
*this will allow you to work as a GP in their
country provided that you have 2yrs experience post internship. only EXCEPTION
is Saudi Arab. you don’t need experience to give their license exam.
4.passing the two usmle steps will
facilitate to get your USA visa ,and you can get a job ther and finish your
step 3(i.e usmle step 2 CS) .then apply
for residency.
5.if
you pass all the STEPS in USMLE and still don’t get a seat in residency
in USA .then you can easily apply for practicing licenses in the middle east
and you can get that without any exam.(mainly I know about UAE.. hoping it wil
be same for other countries if they follows the exam exemption protocol).
When to give USMLE
1.
You can give the Usmle step 1& 2 during your
internship.
2.
You can also give step 2 CK
first as it is more clinical oriented and then give step 1.
3.
You will remember everything
you studied as you passed recently thus making the exam prep easier.
4.
You can also give step 1 in
your 5th year.
