    Thank you for your response. I appreciate that wholeheartedly. I’m a graduate as far back 2019 and have no connection with my medical school. Can I still use my medical school as the “organization “ in reference to a research as my experience?

  • @ed4medus
    @ed4medus2 күн бұрын

    It's best to use the name of the institute you were at when you did the research study or where the data was collected from. I don't see any major problem using the med school name especially if your mentor/senior author in your paper is also from your medical school. Good luck @michaelfaraday8391 for your ?

    Thank you so much! This video has been very useful to me for filling out my ERAS application so far. I have a question I would like to ask, please. I did my MD in Biochemistry in India (2012-2015). During that time, I completed two studies-one for my thesis (a part of which I presented orally at a state conference) and a second short study, which I presented as a poster at a national conference and resulted in a publication in 2014. Can I mention the publication, oral presentation, and poster presentation in my ERAS CV under the respective sections? The study, presentations, and publication were requirements for my MD Biochemistry.

    Here's my updated ERAS CV video guide for #Match2025 kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJ6k2rmindzedZM.html . Let's continue future conversation there. Coming to your question, there is no definite rule against including this as research experience, with position as ' research author' or 'lead investigator' as appropriate. Organization would be your medical school. Also be prepared to field questions in the residency interview about doing the research with limited or non-existent mentorship (if true to your case).

    @@michaelfaraday8391 I am not sure what 'externship clinical medical assistant' is - here's what ERAS recommends: Experience Type: Education/training (includes clinical training such as clerkships, away rotations, subinternships, structured observerships). Military service. Professional organization (includes societies, associations, etc., at the local, regional, national, or international levels). Other extracurricular activity, club, hobby (includes sports, music, theater, student government, etc.). Research. Teaching/mentoring (includes paid teaching positions such as high school teacher as well as teaching assistant, tutor). Volunteer/service/advocacy (includes unpaid experiences). Work (includes paid clinical, nonclinical, business, or entrepreneurial experiences).

    Thank you for your response. After training as a medical assistant we’re required to get some clinical hours before our certificates can be released to us. It’s a kind of internship but they refer to it as externship. I don’t know if I can refer to it as internship or externship. Also I studied for a diploma in nursing and worked as an RN before going to the medical school even though it wasn’t a prerequisite for medical school admission. Can I talk about that as a premedical school education in that section of the application? Can I also talk about my work as an RN if it happened many years ago? Thank you.

    If one doesn't want to take the EB-1 route, then employer sponsored EB-2 is an option - though waiting times for applicants from India is still very lengthy. Do check with your immigration attorney. EB-1A is a self-sponsored approach (and I also had approval of university-sponsored EB-1B) - for me, the effort was worth it.

For example, nurse extern and nurse aide clumped into one. And then my three nursing jobs into one, plus making this clumped activity a most meaningful for my nursing roles.
