Medicine is unlike any other field in the sense that it is based on experiences of it's practicioners, and not the label of where you trained. Training at John Hopkins or King College Hospital doesn't make you a competent doctor. All over the world doctors use the same textbooks and diseases don't change. Your experiences in seeing how these diseases are managed make you a good doctor. While in 5th year, medical students from IMs spend more hours in hospital shadowing senior doctors, trying their hands out in simple procedures under supervision. And spending nights in hospitals watching and learning from senior doctors. All this while reading for tough exams which are way tougher than most international exams. By the time they graduate most IMGs can confidently deal with simple things with little supervision. And adapt well to many other health care systems. Most IMGs work 70 hour weeks while preparing for multiple exams. On Calls are week long at times. And patients are too many. Amongst these pressures they still study and excel in international exams. I was surprised when one 5th year student of one school in London told me they never dissected cardavers and only learnt anatomy by watching power point slides.
🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
The Somali referee who was denied entry to the United States ahead of the World Cup has been selected to officiate the UEFA Super Cup, the European governing body announced on Thursday.
Omar Artan, 34, was due to referee at this summer’s tournament in North America but was barred from entering the U.S. at Miami International Airport on Saturday.
The Trump administration claimed he had “association with suspected members of terror organizations”.
Artan had been one of 52 match officials chosen by FIFA, world football’s governing body, for the tournament but was returned to Istanbul by U.S. border officials before travelling back to Somalia — where he has received a hero’s welcome.
UEFA, however, has now picked Artan to referee the Super Cup between Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain and Europa League champions Aston Villa in August. The game, which effectively kicks off the European football season, takes place on August 12 in Salzburg, Austria.
UEFA’s release announcing the news described Artan as “one of the world’s top referees” and acknowledged that he “could not participate as he was not allowed to enter the United States”.

He will be an expensive flop. Manchester United should go for value in the market. Matheus Fernandes is a much better player than this guy. Complete Ederson and Add Bruno G or Tonali then we cook.
ENGLAND GOD FORBID!!! I bind and cast this your Haram football. How has Tuchel found a way to worse than Southgate?? How can the country that created football play the worst football of any big country???
@ComicBookNFTguy You are just confirming my above submissions. North America is no place for a football tournament as big as the world cup. Everything is politics for them.
This is shaping up to be one of the lowest quality world cup tournaments ever staged. Pitches are not even made for football. Players frying in the heat and travelling huge distances & time zones with limited recovery between games. Fans priced out of venues and not even engaging with the games. Players and officials having visa issues a few weeks before a world cup. Countries banned from entering a host country.
FIFA only cares about the economics of it all. As long as they make money 💰.
