Medical Education in USA/Canada

Dear Sir,
I am working with United Nations peace keeping mission in Kosovo. I need guidlines for my sister who has just completed her MBBS. She has been first class throughout and interested to pursue higher education from US/Canada.
what steps it take to get admission from this level and what are possibilities to get residency?
Is it good to try after completion of PG degree from India itself?
What is expected expediture in some of the decent universities?
over and above this pl suggest some sourse/sites wherefrom information can be solcited.
thanks,

balwan
 
Balwant,

There are lot of people on this website who did their MBBS from India and came to USA for residency. The procedure is also clear cut and known to most medical students in India as talked to several students in my visit to India.

To get a residency in USA, one can write the USMLE (US Medical Licencing Exam) step I and II in India, and has come to USA for the step III. It is better to write USMLE I and II as soon as possible as there is no credit for the PG residency in India.

After 9-11-2001 the visa process for students coming for USMLE step III was tightened and some were denied the tourist visa to come to USA for step III. To circumvent this problem, many doctors took admissions to programs like Masters of Public Health.

Information about USMLE is available easily in India and there are coaching classes as well. I am sure those youn doctors who came recently for USMLE step III can shed more light on this.

I hope it helps.
 
Dear Sir,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I would like to know about the expected expediture envolved in all the three stages and some related links.
Is there any member on the site who has completed the part III of USMLE in recent past and doing residency, for further guidance?

best regards,
balwan

I would welcome inquiries from jat students who want to come to North America for higher studies. I have a thorough knowledge of the universities in both Canada and USA. Depending on the credentials of a candidate I can suggest which universities are best suited for him/her. I can be of help for M.S. and Ph.D. in Engineering and Business as well as MBA.

Arun,

email your detailed cv to me and I will provide some suggestions.
 
Rajesh,

If you want a graduate degree from USA it is not very difficult to get admission somewhere. However, the question is of affordability as well as whether it is worth to get a degree from anywhere? Answer to such questions is not same for all and you are better off to correspond privately through my office email ( birbal.singh@lakeheadu.ca).
 
Dear Dr. Singh,

I have just joined this portal and am really glad to see this thread here. I am currently pursuing my MBA from one of the top 20 universities in the U.S. and would be more than willing to help you field questions from Jat boys and girls interested in doing MBA from the U.S. As far as my background is concerned, I did my engineering from state college of Haryana and was involved in creation of three organizations back home. Just before coming to the U.S., I was launching the operations of a Kuwaiti company in India and Kuwait in the capacity of a General Manager.

I am headed to NYC after the completion of my MBA and shall be working with a top Investment Bank there.

Again, kudos for your time and excellent efforts!! I would be glad if I could be of some help.

Please guide me to do my P.hd. from U.S. or Canada.

Thanks,

Hamendra,

If you have excellent academic background and think you can do very well on GMAT then it is worth trying for Ph.D.
 
Please Help Me Sir

Respected sir

I have applied to few universities in U.s for M.S in C.S and hav egot reply fm 2 colleges:
1. UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS - DARTMOUTH
2. UNIVERSITY OF Missouri - Kansas city.
my gre score was 1260(790 Q, 470 V) andAWA 4.5
I have done my engineering fm mumbai university with 62%

PLZZZZZZZ help me decide one of the 2 colleges on th ebasis of academics, aid scene n job prospects

Thanks in advance
 
Preeti,

I will prefer UMKC over UM Dartmouth because of location, cost of living, and job competition. Kansas City is a large city with reasonable cost of living. But dartmouth is a small town in Massachusetts and there are many many top notch educational institutions in and around Boston, Massachusetts making it an extremely competitive region though there are lots of jobs as well. However, you should look from your point of view because these two places are quite different. Boston area is truly dynamic and cosmopolitan while the midwest (Kansas city area) is somewhat laid back and provincial.

Respected sir

I have admits from all the 5 universities to which I had applied so now the task becomes more harder. I request you to advice me in selection one of the five.

1. University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth
No news of aid yet, they are saying the aid decision is still pending. Tuition Fees - $12,976 for one year( 9 credits/sem)
2. University of Missouri - Kansas city.
No aid granted as of now.They have sent me the I-20
Tuition Fees - $13,087

3. New Jersey Institute of Technology
They have sent me the I-20 and have awarded me Provost Fellowship of $2000 per sem.
Tuition Fees - $15,122 - $4,000 = $11,122.

4. Illinois Institute of Technology(applied for computer engineering)

Received the I-20 today, no news about aid but they have some Co-op prog where u can study for one
year and then wk for one year as internship and then cm agn n complete ur studies.
Tuition Fees - $12,500

5. Illinois state university ( applied for masters in information science)
Tuition Fees- $10,000


Please help me decide one of those five colleges on the basis of
- Academics
- Aid situation
- Job prospects after graduation.
 
Preeti,

My first choice from your list is Illinois Institute of Technology mainly because of the Co-Op program. If you work hard you will have a fair chance to get a professional job at decent pay for one year. If you perform well at the job it will give you a head start for the future. At the same time you should know that the Co-Op program exists, it does not guarantee you a job but gives you a fair chance. Once upon a time Illinois Institute of Technology was a premier institute in the USA but because of its location in the middle of the ghetto it has lost some its allure but it still is an excellent institution.

My second choice is NJIT because of its location near the New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia triangle. UMKC is my third choice and I would discard Illinois State. Consider UM Dartmouth only if you get funding.

Good luck.

Vinesh,

You are too late for Sept. 2005, so you are now looking at Sept. 2006. Send me your resume by email and I will give you suggestions. Just to remind you that my university's spam filter blocks emails from some addresses if it seems spam to it. If I get an email from a Jatland member, I always respond.
