This is how I start my journey to american medical system, now I' m doctor from peru and just decided to go through this dark and long pathway, after a long time of deep meditation I took this decision, is it right or wrong time will tell. I just graduated from medical school last march, it was such a good day but also a day of uncertainty about future, I was so happy and also scared, things are different since I finished med school, I have no more night calls, no more tons of tests going on, no more early morning wake-ups, and no-weekend-free. ...all of that is gone now, but I m a doctor now with so much responsability about life.....and with a future comming so fast that I have to decide what to do. At the beggining I was thinking about staying at home and doing my residency here in my country , but after some time I realised that is a mistake for myself, why to be so shy? so coward ? why not give it a try? is usmle a mounster? is USA an impossible trip for a developing-country doctor? is that hard? is that impossible? or is it only a mith?
Today I feel more confident about myself and this USMLE step1, which has made me remember all my basic sciences , the ones I learnt in my medical school "Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia", In Peru, the best one in my country, I owe so much to this institution, which gave me not only a good teaching but also a different view of medicine. I had so many good doctors teaching me and some good friends also, which I always remember, ....thanks cayetano...
Now , thanks to god I ll start this pathway, my family supports me, my friends are sure I can do it, so I m starting this long and hard journey to the american dream....
