After attempting the Scramble for his second year in a row, this accomplished student secured a Residency position in Family Medicine, his speciality of choice.

"Dear fellow students and prospective students,

WOW!!! What a ride. I really don’t know where to start so I’ll start from the beginning.

In March of 2010, I sat at my desk realizing that the Scramble was over and I had not secured a position into a residency program. During the whole 48 hour process, I had only gotten through to two programs and both calls lasted less than two minutes. I was horribly devastated. I licked my wounds for a few months and then decided to give my residency application one more shot.

When July rolled around, I realized that as an IMG my residency application needed to be strengthened by obtaining significant US insured “hands-on” clinical experience. This was when my daunting quest for externships began. I called several companies claiming to have reputable and inexpensive externships throughout the nation. However, in every one of these companies, I was either blatantly lied to about the cost and/or particulars about the externship or something “just didn’t feel right”. At this point, I was beginning to lose hope but found the energy to call one last company, AmeriClerkships Medical Society.

I called AmeriClerkships and left a detailed message about my situation and desire to start externships. Surprisingly, the next day I received a call from an individual who claimed to be representing Advanced Colleges of America and that the college could provide all that I needed in order to strengthen my application to the fullest. After listening to this person and all the claims that she said ACA would provide, I was absolutely furious and demanded her name and how she had gotten my number. In a patient and professional manner, she stated that ACA was a sister company of AmeriClerkships and that they shared information about potential students. At this point, I did not believe a word she had said so I brushed her off and told her that I would get back to her.

After researching and verifying the claims the ACA Enrollment Specialist had made, I called her back. She explained all the services ACA had to offer in greater detail. Although my mind told me not to fall for this “scam”, my gut was telling me a different story. Not only was this person from ACA professional, I could feel a genuine honesty through her voice. So I took a leap in faith and decided to become a student of ACA, and BOY was I right to listen to my gut feelings, but we’ll come back to that later....
