Success Stories
Hear from our graduates who successfully transitioned into U.S. residency programs.
We learned really helpful tricks to navigate through the typical resident schedule, manage each task efficiently, and communicate with peers, faculty, and patients. Also learned about common pediatric cases and emergencies and discussed adaptation to US culture. It was informative and practical, and definitely eased my transition into residency.
