While matching your programme to Medical Schools or Hospitals, USMLE scores do matter. The factors that are considered for Matching are:

• High USMLE scores
• Board scores of other residents in the programme vs the no.of attempts
• Any Clinical experience in the US
• If the programme you are applying for is open to IMG Candidates
• How many years out of medical school are you
• Strong letters of recommendation
• Languages that you speak

And to get place in a good hospital, these are the factors that you need to look into. And ofcourse the rank of the college matters but your placement or matching to that college depends on the above mentioned factors.

Applied to enough IMG friendly hospitals

Dear Barath,

Thank you for your query. If you want to study in USA you need to first get through IELTS with a score of atleat 7-8 in academic overall. Then you have to pass the medical exam in USA which is required to being qualified to get for a course on Internal medicine.

All the best

No, your 12th marks doesn't matter after MBBS. The minimum eligibility for NEET PG is Candidates who possess MBBS degree or a certificate which declares the candidate has the provisional MBBS degree can apply for the NEET PG The certificate or the MBBS degree must be recognized by the Medical Council of India.

Hi,

If you are planning to settle abroad do PG in abroad and make sure that MCI has approved it. The medical council of India has approved PG courses only from these 5 countries- USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.

I can get from your question that you are willing to write the US Medical License Exam (USMLE). Since you are an international applicant you need to score higher than the average marks scored by the US applicants.

All the best.

It will all depend upon the lifestyle and the office hours you put in the work. The number of opd days, OT days and the visit to the wards for rounds. It all affect the free time period for a doctor. In USA,you have to pay tax for the services thus it can be little less than what you make in india

Hello Aspirant

It will totally depend where are you working and what are you getting paid.

As US is anyways costly ,there lifestyle tends to change.Neurosurgeons in Us are paid according to their qualification as well as where they work

According to research

The average income for a neurosurgeon is $775,968

The middle range income is approx $704,170

the lowest paid are $350,000

And the top 10 % of the neurosurgeon get a pay of $1,229,881 per year!

So it totally depends upon your qualification and the place you work if you can have a comfortable life or not

Regards!
