As I’m done with my away rotations, I’m trying to clean my mailbox. It's unbelievable how many programs I’ve applied to were not accepting international students. But somehow I’ve kept trying. Hoping this year would be different for my fellow IMG friends! #MedTwitter @StoriesImg

I can’t believe how hard to find an elective. Most of the school in the US don’t accept international students, the ones that accept don’t accept this year due to pandemic. This leaves only handful option. I am trying for almost one year but no luck yet😔

Last week, I completed the neonate service in my pediatric rotation. My favorite part was saying “iyi yaşa” to one-year-olds when they sneezed during the physical examination. It is a Turkish phrase that is similar to “bless you” but it means “have a good life.”😊
