Hello Applicants,
In order to streamline the observership process, I am hereby opening an official application process for the Observership/USCE Program.
Please follow the link and fill out the initial screening form. https://t.co/XyzMU2atkf
Rotation Details:
Type of Rotation: Inpatient Internal Medicine Observership (Non-Hands-On)
Location: HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital, Decatur, Illinois
Cost: There are no charges for the rotation itself. However, please note that lodging in Decatur may be somewhat expensive due to the small-town setting.
This USCE will follow a structured curriculum with rigorous training focused on professionalism, communication skills, and understanding the U.S. healthcare system. Selection will be based on competence, willingness to learn, professionalism, and overall potential for growth during the rotation.
Preference is generally given to active Match applicants, as we go through the residency Match process in detail, allowing for more meaningful mentorship and guidance during this critical phase of their career journey.
Before arrival, selected observers will be connected with previous observers to better understand the rotation structure and prepare accordingly.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

But to learn more, a 🧵...
Every Match season hits the same way… 🔥
Seeing fellow IMGs match into neurosurgery makes the dream feel real all over again. Every single year it pushes me harder to stay on this path.
Back to work. 💪
I am so proud of our superstar research fellows @Joannaroy99 and @MusmarBasel who just matched in Neurosurgery! Hard work pays off! Keeping the legacy going!
We have been helping IMGs match in Neurosurgery for the last 16 years in our post doc program @TJUHNeurosurg with a hit rate of 100%!
This recent publication by our superstar post doc @Joannaroy99 shows that :
1-IMGs that match into neurosurgery demonstrate higher publication counts and greater research effort compared to U.S medical graduates
2-The proportion of high-effort publications relative to total publication output did not differ among both groups
800,000 human brain cells, floating in a dish, have never had a body. Never seen light. Never felt anything. And they just learned to play a video game.
That's not a metaphor. That's literally what happened.
These neurons are alive. They fire. They adapt. They get better at DOOM over time, which means something inside that petri dish is changing in response to failure. Scientists call it "goal-directed learning." There is no cleaner definition of that phrase than "it kept trying until it got better." The cells have no survival instinct, no reward system, no reason to improve. They just do.
The part nobody's talking about: researchers have to convert the game's visuals into electrical pulses the neurons can interpret. Which means those cells are perceiving something. Not seeing it the way you do. But processing a version of a world that doesn't exist, inside a container that was never meant to think.
The Turing Test was about machines fooling humans. Nobody wrote the test for this.
