Fellowships in US 🇺🇸
Courtesy Syed Ali Raza on My Medical Career
By Anoshia Afzal MD 📄
Eligibility requirements:
➡️USMLE Step 1&2
➡️FCPS or MD ( Completed )
🚫Remember your scores in USMLE does not matter for it so you can pass with minimum scores (easily doable ) and then can apply based on your local post graduate qualification‼️
♻️There’s this “reverse pathway” that gives you a chance to get fellowship training in USA if you didn’t match (or didn’t apply) for residency. You can get a fellowship and later go for residency match if you intend to stay/practice in United States (you have to complete USA residency to be eligible for US board certification and to able to practice independently). If you don’t want to repeat residency then you’ll have to go back to your country upon completion of fellowship training.
➡️How to become eligible for reverse pathway?
-USMLE (ECFMG certification is required to qualify for fellowship training)
-Most programs also prefer you to have step3 taken before starting fellowship because some states will require you to have unrestricted license for fellowship
-Residency training in home country (FCPS Part II cleared)
-US clinical experience (preferred)
-Research (preferred but not required)
Some fellowship specialties enter into a fellowship match (similar to the N**P residency match). Some specialties participate in the San Francisco (SF) match, while other fellowships do not participate in any program (you have to email programs individually to find out). Some fellowships are easier to get (for instance, neurology subspecialties like movement disorder fellowship, nephrology or non-ACGME accredited fellowships) whereas some highly competitive ones (like interventional cardiology) are difficult to get.
🛑The bottom line is: you still have a chance if you really want to get training in USA (provided you’re ECFMG certified and have finished residency training in your home country) so don’t give up and try to get it via reverse pathway!

ہمارا ایمان ہے کہ موت کا وقت متعین ہے اور کوئی اسے ایک سیکنڈ بھی آگے پیچھے نہیں کر سکتا لیکن بارہا کام کے دوران ایسے مواقع آتے ہیں جب انسان مریض اور اسکے کے رشتہ داروں کو حسرت اور امید سے اپنی طرف دیکھتا محسوس کرتا ہے اور کسی استاد کی وہ بات پھر سے یاد آتی ہے کہ
" اچھی طرح ایمانداری سے پڑھو اس دن کیلئے جب کسی کی زندگی اور موت کے بیچ میں تم واحد امید بن کر کھڑے ہوگے"
آج یہ تصویر کہیں دیکھی جو شاید کووڈ ویکسین کی ترغیب کیلئے بنائی گئی ہے تو یہی خیال پھر سے دماغ میں امڈ آیا۔ ڈاکٹر بننا صرف ایک پیشہ نہیں بلکہ اگر ایمانداری سے کی جائے تو یہ ایک عبادت ہے۔

Vitamin journey through GI system.
Gastric acid inhibitors [Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPIs) & Histamine 2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs)] is associated with vitamin B12 deficiency; especially in the elderly.
WHY??? Vitamin B12 absorption requires peptic enzymes to cleave dietary B12 from dietary proteins and to allow for absorption in the distal Ileum.
THEORY: This is performed primarily by pepsin, which requires gastric acid to activate it from its pepsinogen precursor. Therefore in the setting of reduced gastric acid secretion, vitamin B12 will not be cleaved and can not bind to R-proteins in the stomach. This step is required to protect vitamin B12 from pancreatic digestion. Also, parietal cells which generate HCl (via K+/H+ APTase pump) produce intrinsic factor, a compound required for vitamin B12 absorption in the distal ileum.

🎯NHS Interviews 🎯
This is a mock interview we did to give IMGs an idea of formal as part of a project of UK & EU ( Association of Pakistani Physicians of UK & Europe).
This is just a rough guide. There are some intentional and pre-planned mistakes in interview & discussion and were explained later.
▶️Main thing you have to focus here is
👉The interview environment & pattern.
👉Formal dressing.
👉Tone and speed of speech.
👉Taking your time to understand the questions.
👉To the point answers.
👉Taking every question as an opportunity to tell the interviewer about yourself rather than a crammed answer.
👉Talking in accordance with person specification.
👉Being honest. ( We intentionally highlighted background check and verification based on a true story)
👉Doing some home work about the Job before hand.
