IMG Future Stars Tournament 2026 at TATOΪ Club, seen in full. Across these days, the story went far beyond the matches. It lived in early training sessions, in shared moments on and off court, in workshops, in play, in the energy between athletes learning, adapting, and growing together. Each experience added something. Not just to performance, but to confidence, perspective, and the way each player moves forward from here. This is what stays with them. On to what’s next. Until we meet again. #IMGFutureStars #IMG #tennistournament #tennis #tatoiclub

For the longest time, I thought life would start after the next milestone. After exams. After degrees. After moving countries. After becoming “settled.” I didn’t realize then that life was quietly happening in between. The tired evenings. The walks home after long days. The small wins I barely acknowledged. The moments I thought were insignificant. Looking back, those tiny moments are what I remember the most. Not the certificates. Not the timelines. This isn’t me saying don’t be ambitious. Dream. Work hard. Want more. Just don’t forget to live while you’re chasing it. Because one day, you realize — life wasn’t waiting for you to arrive. It was already there. . . . . . .

If you’re just starting your USMLE Step 1 prep, here’s your guide: 1️⃣ BnB • Try to finish it as early as possible. • Don’t obsess over understanding everything in one go. It’s for building base + brushing up. ⸻ 2️⃣ First Aid / Mehlman PDFs • Read unit-wise. First Aid is great for structure. But if you need concepts explained from the basics → Mehlman PDFs are gold. They help you build stronger conceptual clarity. ⸻ 3️⃣ UWorld (Start Early!) My biggest mistake? Not starting UWorld early. • It feels overwhelming at first, that’s normal. • Start first 10–15% in tutor mode, system-wise. • Review very carefully. And remember: Quality > Quantity 20 well-reviewed MCQs = 20 new concepts learned. Don’t chase numbers. Chase understanding. ⸻ Hope this helps 🤍 Save this for later.

This was definitely the most difficult decision for me especially after the joy of securing a job soon after applying. Got my contract letter and was in continuous conversation with the supervisor to start preparing for the PESCI exam. But I could never spend so much time in uncertainty, hence I made the bold decision of giving it up and kept fighting for my dream job. And guess what… I got my dream job! How?

9 years of USMLE prep. I matched. But looking back, I was training for the wrong finish line. I started this journey in medical school like most IMGs do. Step 1. Step 2. OET. ECFMG. For 9 years, my entire focus was on one thing ,score as high as possible. I believed that a strong score was the answer. And I was not entirely wrong. Scores matter. They get you noticed. They get you interviews. But here is what nobody told me: the moment that interview starts, your score stops speaking. You do. In the 2026 Match, 43.6% of non-US IMGs did not match into a PGY-1 position. Every time that number comes out, the conversation goes straight to visa related issues. But when you look at how program directors actually rank applicants, the top factors are interpersonal skills, how you came across in the interview, and what residents said about you. Not your Step 1. Not your Step 2 or even Visa issues. Your score opens the door. You have to walk through it yourself. Looking back at my 9 years, I over-invested in one thing and under-invested in another. I spent years obsessing over nitty-gritty Step 1 & 2 details mechanisms, minutiae, concepts that would never come up in an interview room. I do not regret working hard. But if I could go back, I would take 20 to 30 percent of that energy and put it into something I almost completely ignored. How to answer a question without rambling. How to tell my story with structure and confidence. How to make a program director feel, in 20 minutes, that they can work with me every day. We have trained ourselves to connect USMLE prep with Step 1 and Step 2 from day one of medical school. That mental link is automatic. It starts early and it runs deep. Communication skills need that same mental link. Not as something you fix at the end.As something you build the same way you build clinical knowledge slowly, consistently, from the beginning of medical school. I genuinely believe that if IMGs treated communication as a parallel track to exam prep from day one, the match rate would move. Not slightly. Significantly. Apply same seriousness as USMLE exam to how you speak, listen and connect. #img #usmle

Due to popular demand! Here is a brief step by step guide to working as a doctor in Australia! Before anything else, check your eligibility! Ensure your medical degree is from a recognized institution listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools. If not, you won't be able to get a job here. 1. Choose a Pathway Choose the appropriate assessment route: Standard, Competent Authority, or Specialist, based on your qualifications and experience. Go onto the AMC website for more info! 2. Pass Exams Complete the AMC exams (CAT MCQ + Clinical) or assessments relevant to your chosen pathway. The competent pathway can be either NZREX, USMLE, or Canadian exams. 3. English Proficiency This is super important! You need to show English proficiency either via IELTS (minimum score 7 in each band) or OET (minimum grade B). 4. Apply for Registration Submit an application to AHPRA for provisional or limited registration to practice under supervision. This can take some weeks to get through! 5. Get a Job Offer Find a medical position in an approved hospital or clinic willing to sponsor or support your registration. You need to secure an offer first before you can apply for your visa. 6. Apply for Visa Apply for a relevant visa—usually the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. Or if you are a New Zealand citizen, you don't need to apply for visa at all. You have working rights by default 😉 #australia #workinginaustralia #img #imginaustralia #movingtoaustralia
