USMLE AND ITS BENEFITS

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 5^th year.
