FMGE

due to the impending foreign medical graduate exams (FMGE) we had in late september, our internship had taken a back seat for a few months.

these exams are now compulsory for all foreign medical graduates (FMGs) planning to enter the Indian medical system. 2 papers or 150 MCQs each, is all you have to clear to get a pass and qualify for registration in the indian medical register.

thank god! i passed. got 174 out of 300. was expecting a borderline result. thank god, seriously, cause the preparation was crap and the 1st attempt seemed dodgy, as we had no idea what to expect.

unfortunately, a few of my close friends did not clear. they will have to sit for it again in march next year now. its shitty to think of giving the exam again. spoils your self esteem and pushes your plans for the future on the back seat.

it was a great sense of relief i felt when i realised i had passed. relief that a big hurdle is cleared, that too in the first go.

now its back to future planning and internship.

P.S. good luck to all those who give it again in march, pray you clear.
