3 MYTHS ABOUT THE AMERICAN MEDICAL REsidency Path
Recently, I have received many messages asking about this path.
That’s why, today I want to share with you about 3 myths that many Vietnamese doctors and medical students often encounter when thinking and considering this path.
Hopefully, after reading the article, you will have a clearer view and be more confident when pursuing this path.
1. You must be excellent to be a doctor in America
Many people think that only if they are at the top of the class, must be very good, be like the school’s valedictorian or have an extremely impressive and terrible profile, is it enough to pursue this path.
>
However, reality has shown that this is completely incorrect. exact.
Although this path is not easy, there are many foreign doctors with not so excellent academic performance who have successfully entered medical residency and are currently working as doctors in the US.
Although good academic performance is an advantage for review, GPA Medical University in Vietnam is not an important factor in the admission board’s review of your application.
The reason is because programs in the US use USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK results as a fair measure to compare between candidates from different medical schools and from different countries around the world.
Therefore, if you do not have a great GPA and academic achievements in medical school, you still have a chance to get into an American medical residency if you prepare a very good application according to the instructions I give.
2. You have to be very rich to be eligible to go to the US to become a resident doctor
A Y6 student asked me if my family’s finances could prepare me about 10 billion, would that be enough to follow this path, because I see some people around who need to invest tens of billions to get a green card?
>
Even though this is a long road, requiring investment a significant amount of capital, but you certainly don’t need to be a millionaire, billionaire, or even half the above amount to go. The amount of money and necessary items I have compiled and written into a series, you can refer to here.
>
When you decide to take this path, it is an investment in your education and future. Of course, when investing in anything, you have to spend some money, time and effort.
>
For a simple example, if you want to open a normal coffee shop in Vietnam, you must have a few hundred million in hand, not to mention if you want to open a big shop with beautiful premises and decoration, billions – tens of billions are enough.
>
Just investing capital is not enough, but it is not certain that your coffee shop will be successful, develop and bring you as much profit as if you went to America to work as a doctor.
Opening a small coffee shop with such risks to sell in Vietnam requires a certain amount of capital, let alone going to the US to become a doctor?
This is an investment in yourself and your future – a profitable investment, completely different from investing in a coffee shop.
>
The failure rate of opening a coffee shop in Vietnam is very high, a year there are so many coffee shops that open and then have to close after a while due to losses. With this path, you invest in yourself and your efforts. If you try and follow the correct process, your success rate will be very high.
>
Besides, with the same amount of capital, the rate of return of this path is also much higher, after 3 years of investment, each year you will receive $70K ~ 1.8 billion/year for 3-7 years, then $363K ~ 9.3 billion per year. year, along with many benefits, citizenship for the whole family and a solid position in the heart of American society.
In short, if you don’t have any money in hand, have to run every meal or are under pressure to financially support your family, the likelihood of you being able to do it will be very low.
>
For the rest, you don’t need to have too much money, you don’t need to be a billionaire like Mr. Vuong or Ms. Hang in Vietnam to be able to pursue this path.
3. I don't know anything about this path, can I succeed?
The answer is yes. You can still succeed even if you are still confused about it, and don’t even know where to start, provided you find a qualified, dedicated instructor who wants to help you.
My students were also like that, when they first registered for the program, they also completed don’t know anything at all. However, after that, you are all given detailed, step-by-step instructions and given a clear roadmap to follow.
>
This is a journey we will take together. On that journey, each person will have different circumstances, aspirations, and unavoidable problems that arise. Therefore, the roadmap will also be closely personalized for each person.
For example, there are young doctors in Vietnam who were single at the time of registration with me and now, they have come to the US. In addition, there is also a friend who is married and has small children in Vietnam, but that friend also went to America and now the whole family goes to America together.
These two situations are completely different, so the route will be a little different, but the destination is still the same. Depending on the time, each person will be guidedto act in different ways to reach the common goal of entering boarding school.
In addition, when traveling with me, you will always be accompanied and supported every step of the way. one. The students accompanying me each follow a different specialty. Some people want to go to Pathology, some people want to go to OB-GYN, some people want to go to Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, or Pediatrics…
>
Everyone goes on different paths and specialties, and those specialties have their own conditions and requirements. However, everyone will be guided so that your profile meets all the requirements that that specialty needs.
In addition, when following this path, there will be many changes arising, such as changes in legal policy in the US.
>
Every new president makes huge changes in the law, which will also somewhat affect foreigners who want to go to the US to work as doctors. When these policies change, we always update them so that we can provide timely directions and support, so that you can take the best steps for yourself.
>
If you have enough determination, enough desire to make your life and your family’s life better, then boldly pursue your dream. my dream to the end.
