So gladโฆ
(1/20) Many ask me how to get a research position in the US, so I wanted to post a thread to share the knowledge and help my colleagues! This๐งต will be dedicated to the methodology, including tips & tricks to secure a research position!

Had a great time discussing and presenting our educational abstracts at RSNA 2023!
Last year, I observed. This year, I contributed with 11 abstracts!
Make sure to check them out; you will learn something new!
I couldn't make it without the support of my awesome mentors,โฆ
We did not realize we were making memories; we just knew we were having fun! Living away from home may be challenging, but here comes the warmth of the family! โคโค Finally, we met again, but this time not in

Amongst the fear that artificial intelligence is taking over humans, using deep learning for CT image acquisition is improving its quality substantially with much lower radiation doses.
Shehata et al. paper is now online in the Abdominal Radiology journal!
Thanks to Dr.โฆ
Congratulations to all my friends who matched today!โคโคโค
Every single year I wait for this moment!

Our recent paper is important as it is the first meta-analysis to discuss long-term outcomes beyond 1 year for unruptured brain aneurysms treated by flow diverters(FDs); FDs are safe and effective and rarely cause delayed serious side effects.
Read it:
(9/20)- When you search for emails, use emails that are easy to get first; one of the things which was life-changing for me and my colleagues searching for research positions is this website
The interesting thing when doctors play soccer that when someone fall on the ground for any reason we ask him " Should we call a doctor for you?" ๐

3) As the first-generation physician in my family with no guidance, this journey is tough! That is why I am
#passionate
about helping my colleagues as much as I can. I was in your shoes one day.
Check out the latest research paper on the challenging field of radiologic diagnosis in adrenal tumors!๐
This comprehensive study delves into the complexities of identifying adrenal masses, exploring various clues that can lead to accurate diagnoses.
(4/20) To find a research position in the US is something that requires a lot of effort... This should be in your mind... You should send a lot of emails.... Too many emails! Maybe not less than 50 to 100 per day. If you do not know a faculty who is taking you.
(2/20 ) I told this strategy to my colleagues, and at least 10 of my friends are here in the US conducting research in big institutions now after following this strategy!! It is helpful for anyone interested in research in the medical field in the United States.
(19/20)- Can you find a paid position from the start? The answer is yes, but either you have great skills, or there is a faculty member who knows you, and you have worked with him for a period of time, and he trusts you and is willing to take the risk.
Couldn't be prouder of my friend as he continues his incredible journey at
@MayoClinic
. Seeing his determination, humility, and ever-evolving thirst for knowledge is wonderful. Here's to many more years of learning and growth!

An example of dedication, hard work, and kindness! You deserve the best, and they are lucky to have you! Congratulations!!๐คฉ๐
(7/20)- Personalize the emails to the faculty you are interested in joining their lab.
- They expect two things from you 1- dedication and motivation and 2- work for at least 1 year with them
(15/20) Another tip is you can use mailtrack, an extension for Google Chrome. It helps you know who opened your email and who did not. Send gentle remind to Drs didn't open your email 2 weeks later. Ensure you remove watermark before sendin each email when using the free version.
Really insightful video shared by Dr.
@AwanRad
on how residency programs rank candidates.
It's a must-watch for anyone in
#MedTwitter
looking to understand this opaque process better! ๐
(16/20)- Do not attach your CV in the first email, as it may be considered spam.
- Make your email as concise as possible!
- Add in the subject of the email (unpaid research fellow/ visiting scholar) if you want to increase the chances of getting your email read by the faculty
๐ Huge congratulations to my dear friend
@o_elman96
for matching into neurology at
@CooperNeuroRes
! Cooper is lucky to have such a talented individual on board. Excited to see the great things you'll achieve! ๐๐
(11/20)Then type in the search the organ that you are interested in (for example, โBrainโ do not type โneuroโ you will get fewer results) > go to profiles and you will find many emails to send them asking for a research position. Examples:
(10/20) Open it > go to North America> the United States> the place where you want to get a research position โfor example, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Researchโ
(8/20) You may transfer your sponsor to another faculty or institution if you get a better opportunity or a paid position and your current sponsor agree.
You really need to follow

(5/20) Because I hear people telling me that after 50 emails with no reply, they feel they have done their part! - Keep in mind that faculty do not respond to you in the first place because faculty here are busy and receive tens and hundreds of emails daily,
