RaNda MarZouk and her Husband MATCH 2019

We -Me and my Husband- couple matched at University of Central Florida/Ocala -Internal Medicine..

Since we first started the USMLE journey, all people were telling us what are you going to do if you end up being apart!!!
We have heard a lot of words and we have been faithful in this verse

"We do not know what to do , but our eyes are upon you"

1- everyone told us couple matching is very hard specially for international graduates.

2-how many interviews will you get as an international graduate separate applicant?

3-what are the odds that of these interviews you will have one or two common ones?

4 - and even if, how many of these the committee will like both of you together and choose both of you??

5 - and when it comes to the rank list, what are the odds that the programs will rank you close to each other, and it will not end up one taken and one not and you both will loose all the chances?!

6 - Most of the evidence and examples before you
They ended up one matched one not or both did not or matched to their last choices !!

7- and the most important thing that couple matching is kind of vague and no too much information is available over there about it.

But God is honest and just looks at hardship! Not to the algorithms !!
I say these words now ! Because I want to remind you all that God does not know impossible and calculations, you just have to work hard and always do your prt and he will complete the work!

Congratulations to those who matched out there 🎉🎉🎉 and those who didn’t have faith and keep going whatever your odds are !

My Voyage For Residency From PATIALA To PHILADELPHIA

MOTIVATION AND INTRODUCTION : The Unfortunate event of Medulloblastoma in my younger sister leading to permanent blindness despite successful surgery and chemo-radiation sparked in me a desire to become physician. Coming from a small city Dera Ghazi Khan, I entered in KEMU (former KEMC) in November 2004 and graduated in March 2010. Road to USA had never been easy. I was motivated by my parents and elder brother Adnan Khalique to reach the highest as I am the first one ever in my family who was going to become a physician and dreamed of training abroad as physician. But for me burning the boats was not an option so it had to be in this way in the form of many twists and turns till first step of success(Residency). I was looking for shortcut to settle early and was inclined toward going to Australia and that’s the reason I didn’t do any electives. After graduation I contacted my seniors in USA and Australia. I did Istikhaara for the first time in my life with a belief that Allah will...

My Step 2 CK experience- 260

I’m writing this because I read about 30 or more experiences and it helped me make strategy. And I want to add mine to pass on this act of kindness. CK Score – 260, exam in mid march. Prep time – 4.5 months with 2 weeks gap so 4m effectively. I’m a recent grad. Step 1 score – 262, gave in mid sept last year. Resources - uw for ck (gold standard), did online 2.5 times. Cms all forms except family med. Nbme 4,6,7,8. Uptodate for reference. Uw step 3 for psych only. Kaplan patient safety notes. FA for step 1. Process – got step 1 score in mid October, celebrated for few days. Started ck prep in late October. Tried mtb 2 for cvs for a week, didn’t like it so started straightaway with online uw. My step 1 prep helped a lot in CK prep. Never did mtb again. Did uw first round till mid January. I also annotated new points to all uworld notes (whoever did the hard work of compiling it I send my best wishes and blessings to you, thanks a million). Revised the notes after 1st round....
