Malke asaad sir, is it acceptable in the USA to keep a full beard for religious purpose ( covering it during surgery) and to match for general surgery residency having a beard. Would it affect my chances of matching into general surgery even if i have good scores, Lor and usce?

Thank you. This meeting was very interesting and useful. I have a question. If I worked as a teaching assistant at the university for a year after graduation, would this be useful for me in the match process?
@SantiagoAQ3 жыл бұрын
It probably won't be a deciding factor (Meaning they won't hire you because you were a teaching assistant), but it's a good plus in your CV. It shows interest in teaching, academy and gives you something to talk about during the interview

What exactly is a volunteer experience? How does it differ from USCE?
@SantiagoAQ3 жыл бұрын
USCE are rotations. Volunteering is a wide term applied to activities where you offer your services for the community. They can be medically relevant (a screening brigade in the community) or non related to the medical field (Ex. Building houses, helping poor people get meals just as a few examples)

@SantiagoAQ3 жыл бұрын
Do you mean if away rotations can replace research positions? It's hard to answer and really depends on where you did the electives, with whom, for how long, etc... In theory, I do think that rotations can replace research when it comes to networking. They obviously don't give you any tangible output to include in your CV like research does, but then again, if the specialty you're applying to doesn't care that much for research output, that probably won't matter as much. If, on the other hand, you're aiming at a specialty where the average candidate has 20+ papers on their name, well... maybe I'd think twice before dispensing with research altogether

research does matter but it dosnt matter more than your USMLE score according to a 2014 survery of many department chairs, from what I remember. I think the book that rpesents that data is called successful match.
@SantiagoAQ3 жыл бұрын
The best way to think about research vs. scores, in my opinion (based on published data), is that your score will be the factor that makes MOST program directors view your application. Research, generally speaking, will be ONE of the factors that make you stand out once they're going over your CV. However, building connections through research with influential physicians that recommend PD's to check your application can be the deciding factor that gets you an interview. And well, that right there is sometimes is all it takes for you to match (Yes, sometimes regardless of your score). I think published data has a significant limitation to account for the variables that extend well beyond the "task natural output." For instance, most questionnaires ask program directors to rate the importance of research as: will you call him to an interview (Or rank him) based on his research performance alone?... And well, whatever answer we get from that question is just ridiculous. Applicants don't match based on the merit of individual factors. That's precisely why some IMGs with outstanding USMLE scores but poor communication and professional skills don't match. But then again, saying that the opposite is true (that all you need are good communication skills) couldn't be farther from the truth. To sum up: Scores are important, and sometimes they will be the deciding factor for you to get called. Research, on the other hand, helps. The bare publications are probably just "a plus". But the other things that research provides could be invaluable (And many times impossible to evidence in the raw stats)
