The IMG Experience: Accounts of an International Medical Graduate

Medicine, motherhood and everything in between

This blog started with a few practical posts written for anyone else trying to figure out the IMG path, with the full intention to blossom into my experiences during medical school. But “life” always happens, and a lot has happened since those first posts: I graduated, got married, had a baby, and I’m back in the thick of studying for my Steps. You’d never guess, but there’s more to life in medicine – and regardless of how you live it, you get there. I’m picking things back up as something more than a how-to guide – part journal, part the guidance I wish I’d had along the way, but still centered on medicine and everything that’s grown up around it.

Currently: Studying for STEP 1 and 4ish months into figuring out this mom thing
