62. IMG Roadmap Series #55: Dr. Kristen Scatliffe and MD FEME

In this episode, I am joined by a group of IMGs from the MD FEME podcast. These established physicians share the innate challenges of being an IMG as well as personal challenges and how they overcome them. You will learn valuable tips on how to overcome your struggles both in the classroom and in the field. You will hear the stories of women who have been right where you are as they offer you encouragement and advice for any season in your own journey as an IMG. Here’s a few self-reminders every listener should take note of: DON’T let others discount you because of your struggles or challenges Build up a strong sense of SELF-CONFIDENCE NEVER give up because you failed the first try ALWAYS pursue your dream with DETERMINATION and RISE ABOVE the nay-sayers Ask for help along the way “NO” is just a doorway to another opportunity If you would like to connect with MD FEME or any of the guests on the show, you can find their information below.
