2020-12-19
What if you could sign into a portal and be immediately redirected to browse clinicians and hospitals willing to have you rotate with them?
A system where you are in control of picking whom and where to go to enrich your CV?
Well, there is another IMG out there who has created a platform like this to help other international medical students find rotations. Oh, do not be alarmed, even graduates can find observerships here too!

One of the most frequently asked questions I get from IMG’s evolve around the topic of USCE (United States Clinical Experience) and how to find and fund clinical rotations.
As a result of that, on this episode I invited Dr. Umair Elahi, a hospital medicine physician and previous graduate of Windsor University School Of Medicine, St. Kitts who is now board certified in Internal Medicine. As a student, Dr. Elahi rotated through the Chicago area and personally experienced the pain of seeking out high quality rotations. His mother, also a practicing ER and primary care physician and preceptor for medical students also battled with the opportunistic nature of the foreign medical education "system" and how they unfairly treated attending physicians and IMG's alike.
So, what did Dr. Elahi do?
He partnered up with 2 other colleagues to create what I call, "the UBER for clinical rotations". I invited them to sponsor this episode so you can learn how they are outing the old and ushering in a new way of obtaining rotations that favors the student.
