IMG Event: Philippines! I attended the IMG Event in Philippines on 22 April, 2023 for the first time, and it was such a great experience! It felt great to have insights from doctors and students that have themselves cleared pathways that we plan on taking further! We found guidance and mentors yesterday, and I'm really grateful for that! Thank you so much for this project, looking forward to attending many more such events in the future!

It was a truly wonderful experience to be part of Img event. Hello everyone , First of all I would like to congratulate and appreciate the organisers and volunteers for conducting and managing such a wonderful event. Grateful to all speakers for sharing their experiences and knowledge with us. Secondly, to all attendees, it was a pleasant experience to talk with so many new faces who are on same path and like minded. I would love to collaborate for research opportunities as I am interested in research activities. I m looking forward to connect with you more all Img community members. Raj Patel Intern M. P.

3 cheers for Dr Sebas and Dhruva (organizer from GMERS Vadodara and my vvv good friend) I loved the initiative of organizing a mega event such as an IMG meet up in a small town such as Vadodara, Gujarat. It gives the Indian IMG the much needed camaraderie and support to work towards their goal via this long and arduous journey. Seeing successful people and listening to their stories is just the boost of motivation we need. Love being a part of this community and loved volunteering for this event. Hoping to be a part of the organizing team next time! Kudos to Dr Sebastian for bring us IMGs together 🥺❤️

Worth it!!! Knowing the experiences and struggles of others while studying for the USMLE makes the entire event worthwhile. It was not only informational, but also participatory, which allowed me to meet more new individuals. It was a well-planned event with excellent speakers, and it was just what I needed to get my USMLE questions and concerns answered, as well as clarification on the steps and process of the USMLE journey. Thank you very much for organizing it!!

I met my community I met my community The road for IMGs is very hard and isolating, at the event I was moved by the inspirational stories of some of the speakers, and others gave insightful advice as how to match. You were able to start networking at the pre event cocktail and everyone that came alone met a group they identified with. From the event, I now have a study partner and others that support me since they are ahead of me in this path. I recommend this event to anyone no matter where they are in their journey. The road is long but it can be less of a burden with others to walk with you.
