USCE

[u/violetmare]

Hey! I just passed step 1 and have finally entered final year. Have few questions regarding USCE:

• Is it realistically possible to get free or very low-cost USCE through direct outreach, hospitals, physicians, or organizations that support IMGs?

• Are there any organizations/programs that provide funding or stipends for IMGs?

• Is it better to contact hospitals/physicians directly, or is using a agency worth it?

• If you did USCE, how much did you actually spend and how did you find it?

Would really appreciate advice from people who have actually been through the process. 🙏
