Dr. Psalms is a US-IMG who attended medical school in Cuba and graduated in 2007!

Yes… she only just matched in 2020!

I know what you’re thinking: 13 years after graduation!

Many will call Dr. Kenya an “old IMG” because it has been several years since she graduated, but in this episode she is showing you HOW she did this!

🔵 In this episode, you will also learn:

How Dr. Kenya matched on 3rd application attempt after 2 cycles of not matching! (you read that right - she was determined)

Dr. Kenya’s advice for mothers dealing with mommy guilt and other parenting concerns while on this IMG path.

Perspective on working as a medical scribe, medical assistant, and other clinical jobs while waiting to match into residency.

How to continue on this path even after tragedy (like she did after losing her father)

This is one of my favorites yet because it is packed with pearls for every IMG who feels non-traditional and also has practical advice that every IMG needs to learn.

Check out her message to you below:

“I am a U.S. born, bilingual (English and Spanish), International Medical Graduate from the Latin American School of Medicine in Cuba. I received a B.A. in Spanish Language & Literature from the University of California, Berkeley. Growing up in a military family, my upbringing was seasoned with cultural diversity. I am married with three beautiful children. I worked to help support my family, while studying for the USMLEs. My journey has been full of adversity including the tragic death of my father but despite all the odds I matched into Family Medicine and I share my journey experience to inspire others. “
