Prathap P- Matched 2016

My name is Hany Eskarous. I am an international medical graduate from Egypt. I got enrolled with Sarthi to help me during the match process as I had no idea how worked.  I had amazing experience.  My application and personal statement have been reviewed by my assigned physician and an expert journalist to get into the  final format. Their training and tips to ace the interview helped me so much to get a prematch after my first interview. Their closed Sarthi group helps also to exchange experience with all other candidates. I was lucky to have Sarthi during my 2018 match season. Thanks to all professional people working in that great facility.

My counsellor told me about USMLE Sarthi. She had previously referred many students and they all had matched into residency. Thus, I was very confident of joining this group. I was very happy with the extensive feedback on my personal statement and CV. Dr Shaji was very helpful in discussing the PS in detail with me. Max and his team did a great job in bringing the PS and CV together in a presentable way. Mr Pawan is great guide and mentor who was there at every step of my application process. He is very involved with each student and always available to help. The WhatsApp group is very beneficial, as it connects students on a common platform. A lot of topics related to residency and interviews are discussed there. Dr Shaji helped me prepare for my interview and it made me very confident. With his help I nailed the interview and prematched. With all this I want to thank the entire team for their dedication and for making my story a success story.

"Good teachers are the reason why ordinary students dream to do extraordinary things"
I am that ordinary student with average scores whom sarthi polished, scrubbed and carved till i achieved the extraordinary" a residency in 1st attempt".
I still remember sitting tensed praying to God for guidance, for i was clueless. Usmle Sarthi came as a blessing. From Personal statement to applications to interview practice, Usmle Sarthi helped me from scratch.
Mr. Pawan has been like a lighthouse in turbulent waters. Always there to listen to my questions patiently and answer them promptly.
His team is no less. I had my interviews with Dr Rahul Pannala and Dr Nandita Khera, outstanding teachers undoubtedly, both of whom picked faults in me, that could've been, God forbid, detrimental had they been left unidentified and uncorrected.
I am very thankful to this team for everything they did. I would definitely recommend Sarthi.I wish the best of luck to everyone and the team Sarthi as well. All my prayers to them

​Maria R. From Pakistan- Matched 2017

I learnt about USMLE Sarthi from a common friend who had been through this uncertain and tiring journey of match process. I contacted them with only 1 week to go for my interview as I was not expecting interview calls. I was under the impression that I would be unable to prepare well in such a short time.
Mr Pawan motivated me and laid out a plan to follow. We started with me writing down all the answers for the common questions being asked and brainstorming all the possible answers. I must say Mr. Pawan laid out all the principles and guidelines for me in a very professional manner which enabled me to formulate my answers (In my personal opinion coming with good content for answers is the most important part of the match interview). I wrote down all the answers and sent them for a review.  After going back and forth we finally agreed upon the answers and now it was time for me to practice. I practiced several times alone according to the advice and guidelines provided by Mr Pawan.

​ In the end, I held a mock interview with Dr Nandita Khera. After the interview, she gave me a detailed and comprehensive feedback about my interviews and her insights in to what I could further do to improve my interview skills. I found Mr. Pawan particularly very helpful throughout the process and in specific his 3-point tactic is something I will carry with me beyond this Match. I wish I had contacted and worked with them for my CV and personal statement as well to add a professional touch to it.  I highly recommend USMLE Sarthi to anyone who is preparing for the interview and match keeping in mind their extraordinary service for a very reasonable price.
Best of Luck

​USMLE Sarthi Student Matched in Neurology 2017

 

I got to know of Usmle Sarthi from WhatsApp Residency group and after hearing a lot of praises from some people I decided to join it.
and now I can say that it was a good decision. I attended a seminar regarding Residency Interviews and it was quite helpful.
My idea about what a Residency was quite vague before that but after the seminar I knew what is expected in a Residency Interview like how to present yourself and other important things.  Mr.Pawan, Dr. Rahul Pannala and Mr. Max Dibble explained things very clearly.  After the seminar I got channelized in my approach and concentrated on the important things. Usmle Sarthi also provided  with common questions asked during the interview including medical and ethical questions. 

Usmle Sarthi throughout the interview season were quite helping like they reviewed my answers to the common questions and helped me in my Rank Order List. Mr. Pawan is present 24 x 7 for any help or doubt. Any specific doubt or question was answered instantly. I joined them late in the Interview season during October and I felt if I had joined them earlier and used their help for CV and Personal Statement editing then it could have helped me immensely. All in all I felt that Usmle Sarthi is the most genuine forum helping students in their Usmle Journey.  I am very thankful to Mr. Pawan and the whole team.

As a part of the premium package, USMLE Sarthi helped me perfect my personal statement, brought out the best parts of my CV, and highlighted my strengths in the most brilliant way. But what I was most impressed with was their Interview preparation. They had a very comprehensive list of questions and they worked with each of their students individually to help us come up with unique answers. Mr. Pawan Khera always gave special tips that would give us an edge over the other applicants during interviews. Usmle Sarthi worked with me every step of the way, in which they patiently answered all my questions over unlimited phone calls, replied to each of my messages and emails, helped me to draft and re-draft answers, tirelessly gave feedback after feedback, and finally conducted a very effective mock interview after which I truly felt ready to face the real deal. Thank you, USMLE Sarthi, for your tremendous help and invaluable guidance in this journey.

CS- Prematched, 2017

This was my third match attempt. In the start of the season your free consultation changed my path and guided me well. I couldn't subscribe for full season consultation but what that 30 min session did to me was good enough. I focused on whatever you guys guided me about and prematched in internal medicine.  Had 12 calls and season ended well for me . 
Thanks for the help. 
Bushra Z- Prematched 2017

I had enrolled for the Interview preparation course with UsmleSarthi. My overall experience with the team was outstanding, and the personalized attention they give makes a remarkable impression on their commitment to help their students achieve their very best. The constant guidance and advice by Mr. Khera was very encouraging and it definitely helped to have a knowledgeable support system during the interview season. The mock interviews are extremely helpful and productive. I personally found it very inspiring to talk to such well-regarded physicians, who also started their journeys as IMGs. Their perspective and guidance gave me an edge in my interviews and I was delighted to have matched at my top choice. Apart from being a confidence booster, this experience also helped me realize my strengths and present them to my advantage. The feedback was valuable in helping me fine-tune my answers and also learn to tackle the difficult and not-so-straightforward questions. I would highly recommend this course to all US residency aspirants.

"USMLE Sarthi was very helpful during my interview preparation. I am glad that I opted Premium service and received many one-on-one incredibly helpful sessions to review interview questionnaire, ultimately resulting in improving my interview skills. The most desirable thing I was looking for and received is, the best way to present myself and answer during the interview with appropriate examples, instead of changing myself for the interview. I received great feedback to improve on after each mock interview; I was astonished by their meticulous vision. Overall I would say excellent service at affordable price."
Salma K- Matched 2016

All the hard work you have done until know, med school, USMLE exams, building your CV and personal statement are going to get you to the interviews but what it’s going to get you the match position is rocking those interviews. As IMG from Venezuela we are not used to this process and I was very anxious about all the interview season. All the members of USMLE Sarthi helped me a lot to go through this process. Before my first interviewed we went through the common questions in order to give order to my ideas. After this we practiced a mock interview. We also talked about how to behave during the interview and what to do before and after the interview. During all my interview process they were available for short sessions in other to answer any questions for a specific hospital. It was very nice to have someone with experience to get advice from during all the process. 
V. Garvia, Venezuela IMG- Matched 2016

I came in contact with Mr. Pawan through his Facebook profile when I saw him actively answering residency applicants' queries. He adjusted me in his busy schedule and he and Dr. Pannala took my mock interview on a short notice and gave me a sense of real time interview. This was helpful. He also inspired me, answered my various queries. I recommend reading his Facebook posts which highlights important points to keep in mind in the interview. Mr. Pawan also encouraged me to put in necessary hard work for interview preparation, which is an essence of any success in life!
Param S- Matched 2016 

USMLE sarthi was an excellent support system during my interviews. I gained not just from the mock interviews but also from the numerous discussions with Mr. Khera. From personal statement to interview prep, he helped me through all. I am highly appreciative of how convenient they made it for me to schedule sessions.
Abhilasha Singh- Matched 2016

I joined USMLE sarthi primarily to gain exposure to interviewing skills during the 2016 Match process. Pawan and his team worked relentlessly in helping me polish my skills in preparation. I had two mock interviews with Dr. Rahul Pannala and Dr. Nandita Khera and I must admit that they helped me see my application from a different viewpoint and gave me insights on my strengths which I hadn't thought of before. Pawan was available at all times to answer any and all questions I might have. He gave me several tips throughout the interview season on how best to get noticed from the thousands of applications they review in the selection process as well as reviewed complex interview questions with me periodically. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and I matched this year to an Internal Medicine residency. I would recommend them to anyone looking to looking to polish their skills for the residency interview process.
 
Karthika, M- Matched 2016

USMLE SARTHI was extremely helpful during my interviews. I had the opportunity to practice with several mock interviews before my real interviews began, and Mr. Pawan was always available to answer any kind of questions that  I had and at ANY time. I learned a lot from the phone/email discussions and the mock interviews with Dr. Pannala and Dr. Kharbanda. I also gained a lot of confidence, which helped me a lot at the time of the real interviews. They offer an excellent, individualized service. Overall, I believe this is an excellent service for an affordable price and I highly recommend it. 
 
Gabriela B. Matched at University of Miami, 2016

My experience with Mr Khera and Dr Pannala was beyond excellent. Medical graduates sitting miles away are not aware of the trends in medicine and education that are prevalent in the US. I had no idea what the program directors are looking for in candidates while they shortlist for interviews.
My only sources of information were threads of posts online, but they had varied opinions on most topics (sometimes, contrasting), and most of them unvalidated. But, Dr Pannala gave me advice which was clear and precise. And I know that it is valid, because it is coming from someone who has done all of this himself, and has seen many more do it over the years.
I had a long discussion with Dr Pannala about how to go about things. He was helpful and answered all my queries with conviction.
 For example, he told me about how to effectively present my CV, and how to highlight my strengths, and structure my CV with higher standards. Apart from that, he also told me about how to effectively utilise my time till the next match with research and observerships. As I progress further with my exams and my journey towards residency at US, I am sure he will be there to support me. Whether it is my personal statement, or my interview, I am sure I have someone to go for advice.
Rajat Thawani:  University of Delhi

Thanks a lot for that wonderful opportunity of helping me improve my CV by direct call from one of established doctors in Mayo Clinic , the feeling of getting suggestions directly over phone call can't be put into words . There were many valuable suggestions that cleared my misconceptions about what to write in CV and what not to( biggest hurdle we IMGs face while preparing CV )
