Description

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!

Want to know more? Keep reading ...
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.  USDoctor.co is a one-stop solution for healthcare professionals. The network holds top-tiered talent from around the globe; while providing you accessibility, streamlined solutions, speedy processes all on one platform. They provide you the technology to bring all healthcare professionals together so IMG's can pick and choose with whom to work with based on their preferences. 
Listen to this episode to learn how Dr. Elahi is helping IMG’s find US Clinical Experience by redefining healthcare for international medical students.
Dr. Umair Elahi, MD, is a trained Internal Medicine physician, and a physician executive in healthcare management. Over the past 11 years, Dr. Elahi has taken care of tens of thousands of patients and their families. He has connected with each one on a personal level by gaining their trust, admiration, and respect by providing them the care and treatment, and most importantly providing them the knowledge, education, resources, and tools to better their health.

The IMG Roadmap is the only podcast dedicated to guiding International Medical Graduates (IMGs) with success blueprints for this unique pathway. This podcast offers practical tools and equips IMGs with applicable strategies to achieve their “US doctor goals”. I do so by bringing information from successful physicians with first hand experience to students who are still in the process of becoming resident physicians.
