Hi. UK trainee here. Can anyone help in obtaining the ASPS Plastic Surgery In Service Exams for years 2019 (and possibly 2020)? It is such a great resource for practice questions for our exit exams but I have not been able to find a way to get hold of the latest set as a PDF. Thank you!

Thank you. It would be unlikely for me to leave the country I am studying at (UK) for a research program, so I will not be keen on that. If it means compromising my chances working in America, I'd rather spend those years researching as a trainee in UK. I understand it's a long shot, and I...

Thanks for your reply. Application is not a huge issue and I've found many places to apply to. I'm just not sure WHERE I should apply to. My chances are as good as winning a lottery when it comes to trying to get a residency program in America in the future. I was hoping to use this 'visiting...

How embarrasing, I have the two mentioned to me as separate entities and have them mixed up together as one. I meant to say Hersey Medical Center. They don't take international students. Also, as far as I know, the universities in Kentucky do not offer programs to international students. I will...

Hello, This was a very helpful thread. Thanks for your posts! I have a Step 1 score and would like to do an elective in Plastics, pretty much in the same shoes at khl31 three years ago. With the new change of regulations in the UK, I'm quite confident he has more options to exercise today. You...

Thank you for this post. This was something I was thinking about, whether it should be 2 months in one place, or 1 month in two places. You read my mind. Very helpful.

Thank you for your input. I understand that my chances are slim, and getting into a Plastics residency as a fresh graduate would need some sort of lottery-winning luck. I don't expect my chances to be good when matching as a fresh graduate, but I hope that my chances would improve as I complete...

Hello, I am very keen on plastic surgery. Which teaching hospital/university should I apply to that would be able to provide me with a good letter surrounding that specialty? I've heard good things about Yale and Northwestern Chicago. Also, Rochester was mentioned as a good place to apply...

I think a lot of people fell short of their estimated scores, myself included. UWSA and NBME predicted me about 10-15 points higher than my real deal. I'm not complaining because I'm happy with my score. You shouldn't be bummed out. It's supposed to be a difficult exam.

bummer, i think we have a different website giving us results i log in normally to the ECFMG OASIS page (IMG website), which is different from the one you use.

DocDanny, how do you navigate the NRMP website? I'm a bit daft with the system and hardly understand the matching process. Is it the resultsanddata2010.pdf ?

no caffeine at all the day before exam, was horrendous for me, because 2 days before exam i couldn't sleep either went out for a good Chirashi with my mate. Talked about everything but medicine because he's a petroleum law major. scored well. i am happy

Thanks to the Taus Method, USMLE World, First Aid, and StudentDoctor.net, I got 250/99 as an IMG. I'm particularly interested in PokerDoc's scores as he/she took the exam the same day as me. I wish him/her all the best. add: and ZagDoc's amazing inspirational post...

Hello guys, IMG here (University of Bristol, UK). I took the exam in Prometric London. Really pleased with myself today. I just took the exam so you can understand why. It came as a pleasant but odd surprise to me that one block only consisted of 46 Questions instead of the 48 Questions that I...

I felt that 1 was more diverse. 2 had some repeated topics questioned in different ways. In fact they came one after the other for me which was really odd.
