can some one please advise how to make a clinical contacts within the programs particularly if some one is out of the country

[ArchivalUser]

what is a clinical contact? Your question is not clear.

[ArchivalUser]

that is what I am wondering that many post says that making clinical contacts with program directors and resident or program coordinator is key to get IV and residency......

so just wondering that if some one is living out of the country how he or she will make a clinical connections with in the program

You establish contact by CONTACTING people. It is difficult to do that over distance. These people need to know who you really are and what you're capable of before they would even consider to offer you something.

Why IMGs are looking for contacts, the easy way out. Do what you have to do and keep your hopes high. This is how LIFE in general works.

[ArchivalUser]

Your CV is great. You know, USMLEs are not the only aspect of your application. You do have a decent chance and you should fight for a position this year. By fight, I mean try hard
I honestly believe you do have a great chance. I hope you'd have real strong LORs. These should compensate for your USMLE scores

Best wishes!

Oh, and if you have deficiency in medical knowledge, try to compensate for that. For example, either do a transitional year in medicine first, which is needed anyway - I am assuming you're interested in neurology again? This can fix your medical gap if you have one. If you don't, then make sure your LORs do stress on your medical knowledge and patient care, because your USMLEs MIGHT raise such a concern

It's not that dark, is it?

Btw, you can try to arrange for doing an externship in the US through your program. You'll be working as an extern fellow in the US. It can be a part of your electives if you want - like an away rotation. Just find out if your program can allow it, then see which programs in the US can take you. The rest is sorting out the financial issues and just some paperwork and visa nonsense
