I know of a few agencies such as doctoradamhoward and Class Act Match Consulting and they provide services surrounding the ERAS match application, PS review, and IV prep. As someone who was denied a visa and has no USCE or research, could their help help me highlight whatever good is left in my profile?

My stats:

YOG 2023 (last year as a recent graduate) and this is my first cycle

Step 1: first attempt

Step 2: 26x

Visa req obviously

Whats the pay range in different setups for a fresher?

Everybody who got their visa approved for observerships/Step 3, can y'all please share the city where you interviewed and the documents they actually asked for?

​

If possible, please share what helped with your visa approval and whether or not you actually had an acceptance letter from a university/hospital/clinic.

2. Is it advisable to get another letter of invitation to make it 3months of observership?

3. Should i mention that i am planning to gove step 3?

Any new advice or anything about the above mentioned doubts?

Hello everyone, I am a non-US IMG with yog 10years and completed my dm in cardiology from the prestigious all india institute in 2023. My spouse is planning on taking up residency in the States. I need your advice regarding the next best step for me to become a board-certified cardiologist in the USA.

I have the following data:

1. Go through the traditional USMLE → MD→ fellowship pathway (drawback: very high YOG and low chances of matching, and starting everything from scratch)

2. Get ECFMG certified and give some exam to enter cardiology fellowship training directly (drawback: very limited seats available that way, low probability of success, and will have to leave the state once I am done with training)

3. Work as a PA and not as a licensed doctor (drawback: I mean, do I even have to say much down-sizing that would be for me)

4. Licensure by endorsement: idk much about this one, if anyone know, can you please explain it to me

Is there any other possible pathway that I am missing?

Any advice on these paths or a story of anyone yk found success this way or at least has tried any of it? I would really appreciate anything.
