I am currently with an attending that is overtly trans/homophobic. The first day I was with him I decided to take off my pride pin bc i didn’t want to deal with it.

My straight classmate who I’m rotating with starting wearing a pride pin the next day

I will never forget an attending I had on L&D during Ramadan, who pulled me and the one Muslim resident aside to let us know we were free to take breaks at any time, pray in a private room she reserved for us, and physically sat me down during iftaar time to make sure I ate well

@LindaLouisa4 Right! Such a blessing to match as an IMG. 🙏

[Micah B. @micahms_3]

Changing my bio from medical student to EM physician after 2 years of witnessing Match celebrations on this platform. It’s finally my turn 🎈

[Micah B. @micahms_3]

@KrisEmilyMD Would love to hear some things you did to make you successful in receiving the PSLF, documents, and staying on top of it 🙏

[Micah B. @micahms_3]

Each, literally each interview I was asked about powerlifting! Its a great talking point when you have something unique you enjoy 😉

After matching into my dream specialty in my location of choice, at a university hospital, as a Canadian IMG from a Caribbean school, I can safely say those medical school reddits were wrong. It’s undoubtedly hard and the odds are against you, but it’s possible. #Match2023

@PraagAryaMD Love the grit! Thanks for the support ❤️

[Micah B. @micahms_3]

@SMisthal Thank you so much! 🥰

[Micah B. @micahms_3]

@Laurata37297150 Thank you! ☺️

I used to follow IMG student inspo on Instagram before I even started med school. Now one of the residents I was following is my assigned mentor at @StJoes_EM. Full circle 🫶🏼 Goes to show that social media advice/motivation always helps 🥹

Misleading headline — working in the #ER still is a cool job, just not enough to sacrifice your own health/sanity and standards for our patients. I still love working in the ER, the question here is how to reform/improve the system. That’s a question of greater healthcare, not just the ER.

[Kiara Wallace @_thebalanceddoc]

This is not to say this journey was easy, but nothing’s impossible. You have to first believe in yourself when all odds are against you💯

#IMGs are a major component of US health system & a backbone of workforce in many underserved, rural & safety-net hospitals. Many are super-talented & only need the right environment to realize their full potential & be leaders as can be seen everywhere once they become faculty!

[Tori Odetunde, MD MPH @noTORIousmed]

I’m still processing this. As a Non-US IMG (🇨🇦), I can’t even put into words what this means. I’m excited to train at this amazing program and meet all these cool people!!

[Micah B. @micahms_3]

@jbcarmody A lot of my colleagues were worried/concerned about the statement regarding a job shortage

[Nader Dahdaleh @NaderDahdaleh]

Dear IMG,
You control your own destiny. Believe in that, and you’ll achieve any goal.

With love,
2004 IMG

This decision means that the Court has held that the allegations we make, if proven, are sufficient to sustain a violation of California law. This is the first step we needed to move forward to stop Envision's corporate practice of medicine.
