In point of fact, I am still enthralled by the testimonies of Dr Ben Carson which I gleaned from his books. Gifted Hands, The Big Picture and Think Big. I love the hemispherectomies. However, finding a residency position amidst the competition that characterizes the state-of-the-art medical schools in the US can be quite challenging. You must be able to convince the Professors of your capabilities and worthwhile vision as an emerging medical practitioner. But thanks to the statementsofpurpose.com, a group furnished to help aspiring students to properly craft convincing and incisive statements of purpose for residency admission. Candidly, I see statesmentofpurpose.com as a bridge to the world of medical residency.

(during which i could hopefully make good contacts).. After that, i can again try for getting a Surgery residency, only this time i will have a pg degree from there and may be strong LORs.. even though it will take 3 more years the total will be still be 6-7yrs i am not too worried about the amount of time it takes, jus want to know if it is possible?? 2. second doubt is about fellowship.. from what i have read about it, my understanding is that doing a fellowship is possible but we cannot practise after that (still confused anout it) and repeating residency is a must.. is it true that if you do residency after fellowship it is only for one year? if anyone knows more on this please reply. thank you :) http://www.residencyworld.com/thread/114/ Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:13:10 GMT http://www.residencyworld.com/details/114/ Hey guys I am going to start my prep today: First reading plan will complete rheum and cards this month http://www.residencyworld.com/thread/113/ Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:54:01 GMT http://www.residencyworld.com/details/113/
