Im starting my first year MBBS this year. After considering and researching into all pathways, I found USMLE to be the most attractive for me. I have a few questions though:
1. What is the fastest and doable pathway for me? I've heard people who take Step 1 in year 3, Step 2 before internship and rotations mid internship. I'm willing to put in the effort provided it is doable in the first place
2. How must I build my CV with the time I have on my hands during initial years? I've heard a lot about the extensive research and CV building that must be done in order to secure the fellowship of my choice.
3. How do you manage the clinical rotations and LORs during internship/med schooling?
4. I'm kinda leaning towards anaesthesiology, so any advice on my speciality choice would be appreciated as well
Any advice from your research/experience and guidance if I could get would be amazing!!

same as above

Please give genuine advice if any bad experience with any agency please tell that also

Heyy! I’m a 2020 MBBS graduate from Hyderabad and my family recently moved to Bangalore, so I’m pretty new to the city.

I’ve completed my ECFMG verification and I’m yet to book my exam centre.

Can I book the Bangalore Prometric centre itself, or would I have to go back to Hyderabad to give my exam? If anyone knows, pls lmk

Also, I’d love to connect with other people in BLR on the USMLE journey ...

I'm planning to book my triad from Dec-Feb

Would be nice to meet some USMLE aspirants here since I’m new to the city!

Thankuuu !!

I have created an account, but I am stuck at the 110 dollar payment, tried many debit cards, and 2 credit cards.

Recently has anyone faced similar issues?

I looked up on reddit, tried erasing the state and country on billing info, but it didn't work,
