Dear IMG,
Only listen to people who encourage you, push you, and lift you up. Everything else is noise.

The day of the $199 GLP-1 may be coming soon, as @novonordisk announces layoffs and the rumors of all American health insurers in Massachusetts will be dropping GLP-1 coverage in January 2025.

The average Step 2 score in 1995 wouldn’t even pass today.
That’s how fast the goalposts have moved.
We keep selecting for test-taking machines instead of future physicians.
Soft skills matter. Empathy matters.
Medicine isn’t multiple choice.

While leading societies just released a GLP-1 nutrition consensus, we’ve been applying these principles for 20+ years—prioritizing protein, preserving muscle mass, and individualizing care.

Over 9 years, 2,431 patients at our weight loss program lost 51,000 lbs—without surgery or medications. Only 211 did not lose weight.
That’s 91% success through structured lifestyle changes alone!

IMG who matched categorical?
1. Write down here where you are from, what you matched in, and where you matched.
2. We need to celebrate you &, as importantly, amplify your program that removed discrimination against IMGs.

A patient somewhere still remembers you because you were present and kind in a difficult, vulnerable moment when no one else was.

The win makes me extremely happy for #ArshadNadeem and at the same time makes me extremely sad about the amount of talent and potential in our athletes which goes to waste due to neglect, corruption and politicking by the State. We are the 5th most populous country in the world filled with natural talent and abilities which never receive the attention and support they deserve. Hope if nothing else than at least Arshad's Olympic 🥇 makes us realise that. We need to aim for a contingent of 70 not 7 for the next Olympics.

92.97m is massive and unbelievable by javelin thrower ARSHAD NADEEM. He already made Pakistan proud! An emotional moment for the entire sports fraternity of Pakistan! #Olympics

I am deeply troubled by reports of interference in this week's election in Pakistan. The legitimacy of any incoming government rests on fair elections, free of manipulation, intimidation, or fraud. The Pakistani people deserve nothing less than a transparent democratic process and true representative government.
I call on the State Department to refrain from recognizing the results until credible, independent investigations have been conducted into the numerous allegations of misconduct.

There will be times in your life when nothing makes sense and you can’t see the wood for the trees. That’s when you need to keep trusting the Almighty and keep going. It won’t be easy but you have no other option. His plans for you are greater than you could ever imagine.

Diversity? no, Perversity

ERAS is a monopoly that exploits the poorest people in the world
Students have NO choice but to go through ERAS
