How to Get a Medical Residency in the USA as an International Medical Graduate

Choosing to the medical residency for IMG medical students in USA is the best opt. With world-class training opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities, landing a coveted US residency spot allows you to advance your skills and expertise to the highest level.

However, getting a US medical residency as an IMG involves a step-by-step process with many requirements along the way. By understanding and following the key steps, you’ll place yourself in the best position to match into your desired residency program.

1) Register with the USMLE

Your first step when applying for US residency positions is registering with the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). The USMLE is a three-step exam assessing an IMG’s medical knowledge and clinical skills. It is a core requirement when applying to US residency programs.

Registering is an easy process online via the USMLE website. You’ll need to create an account and provide background information on your medical education and credentials. This allows you access to schedule test dates and testing center locations.

Registering with the USMLE is the vital first step for IMGs seeking US medical residencies.

2) Pass the USMLE Exams

The next step is successfully passing all required USMLE exams. These are challenging, marathon tests covering a wide range of topics. Thorough preparation through dedicated study time and practice questions is a must.

The USMLE step structure is:

Step 1 - Assesses core concepts in basic medical sciences. Often taken after 2nd year of med school.

Step 2 CK - Focuses on medical knowledge application in clinical settings. Taken during 3rd year typically.

Step 2 CS - Evaluates clinical and communication skills through interactions with standardized patients.

Scoring well on your USMLEs signals to residency programs your strong medical knowledge foundation. It also indicates readiness for the fast-paced rigors of a US residency.

Many IMG applicants space out their exam schedule over a 1-2 year timeframe. Create your own prep timeline backward from desired residency start dates.

Allow plenty of dedicated study time to pass the USMLE exams.

3) Get Valuable Clinical Experience in the USA

In addition to tests, US residencies want applicants exposed to the American healthcare system and culture.

Gaining clinical experience in the US through observerships and clinical electives are a big advantage. These allow you hands-on learning of workflows, systems, treatments, technologies, patient populations, documentation, communication norms and more in American hospitals and clinics.

Observership organizations like Prasad Medical Center (+1 718-774-6060) assist IMGs in securing observership positions across the country. Be sure to research and understand program eligibility terms before applying.

Even a few weeks of US clinical experience can give that important edge among competitive applicants.

US clinical experience highlights adaptability to American medical norms.

4) Register with the AAMC

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has two key systems you must access during your application process:

MSPE (Medical Student Performance Evaluation) – Official record of medical education including grades, rankings and assessment.

ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) – Centralized online application portal distributing all materials to selected residency programs.

Register with AAMC early to get your credentials verified, understand each platform and have ERAS documentation ready when application season starts.

Connecting with the AAMC is essential throughout the residency hunt.

5) Pick your Residency Programs

When deciding which residency programs to apply for, start broad. Identify specialties matching your interests, strengths and USMLE scores. Use online directories to make a list of reach, reasonable match and safety options across several states or regions.

Factors like location competitiveness, program size, IMG match history and curriculum emphasis can help you categorize options. Have a few safety choices with higher IMG acceptance rates.

Research programs thoroughly to have residency options at each level.

6) Get your ECFMG Token and Register with ERAS

Once programs are selected, activate your ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) token. This allows ERAS to verify your test scores, credentials and identity when applying.

Next, access your MyERAS applicant profile. Add your exam history, experiences, publications and other credentials that programs will review.

Double and triple check all entries for accuracy before submitting to avoid costly mistakes or delays.

MyERAS is your central application hub throughout the residency process.

7) Finalize Documentation and Submit ERAS Application

With your MyERAS profile complete, finalize all required documentation:

Personal statement

Medical school transcripts

MSPE Dean’s letter

Letters of recommendation (3+)

School catalogues

Proofread all materials thoroughly before uploading to ERAS by the deadlines. Activate program selections and assign supporting documents for each.

Carefully prepare all pieces of your ERAS application package.

8) Medical Residency Interview

With a strong application submitted early, interview offers should follow!

Interview formats vary widely across residencies. Common options include one-on-one, panel interviews, multiple mini interviews (MMIs) and virtual interviews.

Careful preparation is key. Research programs, polish answers to common questions, hone your communication style, dress professionally and send prompt thank you notes.

Treat travel associated interviews as 24/7 assessments of fit. Be gracious, avoid complaining and share your passion for medicine and interest in the program.

Interviews are critical to sealing a residency position – make the most of them!

9) Register with the NRMP

After interviewing, register with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) by late January. Creating your NRMP account starts the matching process based on how you rank programs and how they rank applicants.

The yearly Match Day in mid-March reveals results simultaneously to applicants across the country. This coordinated effort fills nearly 40,000 residency roles each spring.

Understand match statistics for given specialties and programs to set realistic expectations before this nerve-wracking day!

Learning match nuances helps ease the anticipation leading up to Match Day!

10) Residency Post-Match Focus

If matched, congratulations on achieving that coveted US residency program spot! Notify all relevant parties, celebrate thoroughly and handle any needed visa application processes.

Review program details to address required paperwork, licensing, preparations or moving requirements before start dates. Share excitements and ask graduated residents for advice as you transition to this intense but rewarding new chapter!

For those not matched, don’t be discouraged! Strategize about strengthening certain areas of your application and discuss options with mentors. Often success comes with perseverance and giving yourself the best opportunities the following year.

We hope this overview gives international medical graduates more clarity on the pathway to getting a US medical residency. While challenging, thousands achieve this goal annually through careful planning, dedication to preparation, and showing your passion for serving US patient populations.

hello, nurse!

chapter three: hard decks and rock bottoms

( bradley “rooster” bradshaw x oc, eden benjamin )

(previous chapter) (next chapter)

Eden might just start to find her footing along the aviators, but one mistake after another leaves her reeling and waiting for answers.

word count: 6760

notable characters: penny benjamin, pete “maverick” mitchell, bradley “rooster” bradshaw, natasha “phoenix” trace, jake “hangman” seresin, robert "bob" floyd

tws: cursing, drinking/drunkenness, excessive flirting, near-death experiences, talk of past injury

ao3 link! (features authors notes :D!)

When Eden gets home, she plops her books on the counter and rushes upstairs to grab her notebook. She’s determined to get this shit done, after promising Warlock he’d see her tomorrow at the base. She sprawls the books out, eyes scrutinizing every document. Each book or file was between forty and a hundred pages, and she knew it would take her some time to read through them all, so she tried to figure out exactly which one felt the most important. She settles on the medical book since it’s what she’s there for. As she reads about g-force, and engines, and does some Googling for words she doesn't exactly know, she slowly fills up a notebook with page after page of information. Figuring she’ll organize it later.

She manages to work for a solid few hours, considering it's only about one o’clock by the time she gets home. Amelia won’t be back from classes until three, and who knows where her mom ran off to. After a while, the silence of the house gets too much, and Eden has to turn on music to make herself feel a bit better. Then, suddenly and with a slam of the door as it shuts, Penny comes home. Eden pauses her music and turns her chair, causing it to squeak as she tries to see her mother come out and towards the kitchen where Eden sits.

“I hate him,” Penny growls from the foyer, her heels being thrown off before she’s making her way into the kitchen. She physically jumps seeing Eden.

“Hi, mom.” She laughs softly and Penny lets out a surprised breath as she places her hand on her chest,

“I thought you’d be at the bar.”

“Nope. Just finishing up this chapter of this Flight Surgeon’s guide before I get ready.” Eden leans on her elbows, “Maverick said he’d see me there, so I want to at least be able to tell him that I studied a good amount.”

Penny pales at the mention of her daughter's instructor, “Eden, honey, why don’t you stay home instead of going to the bar? You only have, what, three weeks to the mission?”

“Tomorrow they’re doing more flight training, the same as today I think, but with the pilots trying to catch each other instead of Maverick catching them?” Eden hums, pulling out a little calendar that Maverick had given her so she’d be on track, “I’ll just study then.”

“Are you sure? I’m not gonna be at the bar tonight, I have to do scheduling and such in the office.” Penny seems to really not want Eden to go, which is odd because Penny has always let Eden go places and make her own mistakes. She tries not to think about what that might exactly mean.

“I’ll be fine, Mom.” Eden laughs, gently shutting her notebook as she begins to pack her items up from where they lay across the kitchen countertops, “It’s not a huge deal, the only one I really need to look at is the medical guide and I already know the majority of this from my USMLE testing days.”

Penny lingers, but sighs, and says a soft okay. As Eden thanks her, she stands, gives her mom a one-armed hug, and slips up the stairs and to her room. She took a world record time shower, but then spent an hour brooding over what to wear. She knew pretty much everyone would be out of uniform tonight, since they weren’t coming straight from the base, and she wanted to wear something a bit less formal than her pink suit and the other various suit-like outfits she would wear to the base in the upcoming days.

Eden ended up picking an item she adored, a white-based sundress with a garden scene-based corset top. She paired it with all gold jewelry and tied her hair up in two half-up pigtails with golden-colored hair ties, and some simple tan sandals. Her make-up was quick and easy, considering it was just The Hard Deck, and when she was finished spraying herself with enough perfume to last the night, she remembered the one item besides her wallet she was supposed to bring. And It might be a stupid decision for Eden to do, but she slides on Rooster’s jacket over her dress. It’s big on her, definitely, and when she stands in the mirror she can't help but adore the way it lays on her smaller frame. She gives herself a little twirl, runs her fingers along the patches she doesn’t recognize, and double-checks to make sure she has everything in her crossbody bag before she’s heading out the door.

The drive to the Hard Deck is only, maybe, fifteen minutes and when she’s walking in, there’s already a hustle and bustle of people there. She ducks through the crowd and makes her way back to the pool table, where she can see Maverick expertly conning Hangman out of a winning game. Eden chuckles to herself, adjusting the jacket that she now just rests over her shoulders, as she walks up to the crew.

“Hello, Aviators!” She calls with a goofy grin across her lips, “This is your captain speaking, buckle your seatbelts, and get ready for a pool table ass-whooping.”

“Oh? Bradshaw, huh?” Maverick leans back from where he’s bent over the table, setting up the billiards, an almost protective look flashing across his eyes as they narrow. Noticing it, Eden flushes, stammering a bit as she shuffles in place as the other pilots make various noises and comments.

“Relax, guys. When I got sick last night, he brought me home and left his jacket in my room by accident.” She shakes her head in disbelief at their assumptions of more… intimate relations.

Coyote snickers, grabbing a cue for himself after passing one to Hangman and Payback, “It’s not like the two of you don’t flirt excessively already. Who are we to assume you haven’t done more?”

“It’s all jokes, plus I’ve only known him for a day, what would I have done?” Eden clarifies, feeling her cheeks redden even more than before, “are you jealous or something, Coyote?”

“I’ve got my own relationship issues to worry about,” He waves a hand, “But thanks for the offer.”

Eden huffs, rolling her eyes as she slips into the crowd of pilots, grabbing a cue as well, “And for that comment, you’re going down.”

The squadron whoops, laughing as Coyote takes the first hit, sending the billiards ricocheting across the table in various directions. Eden waits, watching before she bends (happy she decided at the last minute to wear shorts under her skirt), and immediately whacks a striped billiard into a hole.

“Oh, shit,” Hangman expresses, and Payback whistles as she turns, and manages to get another ball in easily, though as she's bending for the third (which she knows she has to rebound across the wall,) someone leans across her and shifts the cue an inch or so to the left.

“There,” A voice purrs behind her, undoubtedly Bradley’s, “Try now,”

And she does, and it works, making Coyote yell something intelligible. Eden stands after Bradley does, and she grins, “Go ahead and start, Coyote, I feel a bit mean.”

He does, and Hangman walks over, slinging an arm around Eden and making her lips pull taught and she glares up at him, “now, that’s something to brag about.”

“Get your paws off me, Bagman.” She complains, and when he doesn’t move, Bradley steps in, grabbing Hangman's arm and lifting it up and over her head. The two don’t speak, just exchange various glares and hand motions, before Hangman walks away with a slouch, and Phoenix snickers from where she’s next to Bob and Payback.

“Thanks from all of us, Rooster!” She calls as she points across the bar, and the waitress there wastes no time ringing the bell on Hangman, who groans. With a loud laugh, Payback is quickly asking what everyone wants to drink while Fanboy rushes up to grab another one for free.

“I’ll have a shot of Tito’s!” Eden calls and Payback quickly writes it down on his phone, Bradley watches as Coyote hits another ball into the hole and cheers, another pilot– Omaha, slapping him on the shoulder in congratulations.

“I’ll just have a Corona for now.” Bradley says when he’s asked, then he’s enveloping an arm around Eden's shoulders, leaning close to her ear, “Y’know what they say about a woman wearing her man’s jacket?”

“ Her man's jacket ?” Eden replies as she leans back against the pool table, eyes rolling to look at him, “enlighten me, Bradley.”

He grins, letting his lips graze her ear as he talks, eyes fluttering up to Maverick, who watches the two with a calculated gaze, “Well, he has to take her to bed.”

“Oh no–” Eden moans as leans back on him, dramatically fanning herself. The aviators look over and notice her relaxed pose, and how she's making him laugh by doing it before she yells, “take me to bed or lose me forever, Bradshaw!”

Bradley freezes, his hand on Eden’s waist as his lips hover by her jugular, and she can practically feel the heat radiating off his face. He stutters a bit, before opting to keep his mouth closed as the pilots laugh at the scene around them. Hangman is practically on the floor laughing at this point, Phoenix shaking her head at him as he wheezes dramatically, and Maverick claps, standing.

“Alright. Let’s move on from… whatever that just was.” He says, not without Eden noticing an odd strained rise in his voice, and the team agrees, not without some mindless jabs from Coyote, something about Rooster’s callsign not being far off from the truth. Unsurprisingly, Coyote gets a whack aside the head from Payback (who’s returned with most of the liquor), and Eden begins to take off the jacket when Bradley stops her, a hand coming to her now bare shoulder as he leans down again, closer this time, so close she can feel his lips brush her ear before he even whispers to her, breath hot on her skin.

“Keep it. I like seeing my last name on your chest.” He grins before he’s striding away, calling the first shot at another pool table. It takes her a second to refocus, then she's standing back up from her position of leaning on her backside the table, absolutely flushed from head to toe. A second passes, then, Coyote taps her shoulder.

“Your turn, Mrs. Bradshaw,” he says and she whacks his shoulder, cursing at him while he cackles, a Michelob Ultra in hand.

“Not surprised Bradshaw’s found a new girl to flirt with.” Another pilot says before he turns to her, “Sorry, I’m Omaha, Neil Vikander.”

“I always forget there's a bunch of you,” Eden comments, whacking another billiard perfectly, “How’re you feeling after those two hundred pushups?”

“Like shit.” He chuckles, watching as Eden stands up, he’s definitely ogling her, and she tries not to think about it as she has to move closer to him for a hit.

“Leave her alone, Omaha!” A girl hollers as she walks up with two other pilots behind her. After Eden hits the billiard and narrowly misses the hole, she turns to look at her. The name tag on her flight suit reads Halo, and behind her are Yale and Harvard– ironically Harvard is Yale’s WSO if Eden remembers correctly. The only person she doesn’t remember is Omaha.

“Lieutenant Callie Bassett, Halo.” She says, “And this is Brigham Lennox, Harvard, and Logan Lee, Yale.”

“Nick to meet you all, formally.” Eden smiles, “Eden Benjamin.”

“Oh, are you Penny’s?” Harvard asks as Yale waves before practically being tackled by an already drunk Payback who shouts,

“Where’s Fritz? He owes me a beer!”

“Yeah,” Eden laughs at Payback's antics, “I’m her eldest.”

“Weird.” Halo comments, “I could've sworn you were Maverick’s.”

Eden scrunches up her face, narrowing her eyes in confusion and almost disbelief, “Maverick’s?”

“You look a lot like him.” She continues, “Phoenix and I thought you were his when he made that Hello Kitty comment this morning.”

“I mean, there’s surprisingly not a lot of white people here with black hair and green eyes.” Coyote comments from the pool table, “but I dunno, Maverick would have to have been pretty young if he’s the age I think he is.”

“That’s true.” Harvard states, “Whatcha think, Omaha?”

He flirts, “She's pretty, but I don't see the relation to Maverick.”

Eden sighs, sending Phoenix a look for help, causing her to butt in, “This is just a weird conversation.”

Payback slips over to hand Eden her shot, which she takes without hesitation or a wince, and turns back to the others, “I agree with ‘Tasha over there.”

“What’s weird?” Payback asks, taking her shot glass as he hastily writes down more drink orders for his friends, his eyes narrowing as he struggles to spell Michelob right for the fifth time in a row. Behind Eden, Coyote manages to get two billiards in the hole, making it Eden’s turn again. Somewhere behind Coyote, Maverick watches the team interact, noticing who doesn’t talk to who, or who completely isolates themselves. They need to be a team– hell, a family event–

“--I don’t look like Maverick, dude.” Eden’s whining after Harvard says it again, “I don’t even know who my dad is. My mom refuses to talk about it with me.”

Over Eden’s shoulder, Rooster watches as Maverick winches, before slipping away into the crowd. It’s bizarre, and Eden notices him looking perplexed, so she quickly ends the game of pool and tells Hangman it's his turn before she crosses the bar to where Bradley lounges.

“What’s the matter over here?” She purrs, sitting down on the couch next to him. He hums, leaning his head on her shoulder, a half-finished drink swirling in its cup as he shifts to be more comfortable.

“Tired.” He says, and for once it's truthful, before he grins sloppily, “I wonder if it would be easier to sleep with you by my side?”

“Does the only thing your mouth knows how to do is flirt?” She says, rolling her eyes with a goofy smile as the rest of the aviators move around them as if they aren’t even there. It’s like a perfect moment of respite, Bradley’s soft laugh only adding to it in Eden’s opinion.

“Well, it knows how to do much more, if you’re interested.” He states and she ooh’s before delving into a soft laugh as she bumps her head against his before he sits up with a very obvious flush on his cheeks.

“I’m gonna grab a refill, do you want anything?” He watches her face as she bites her lip, smiling softly as she thinks.

“Uhm… a lemon drop, in a tall glass, with extra lemon, please.” She smiles.

He pauses before smiling a bit bigger than before, “Ah, a martini girl?”

“Of course, my Momma raised me to have an expensive taste.”

“Good thing I have a big paycheck then, yeah?” He stands, and Eden gets up immediately after, making her way over to the new jukebox she had insisted her mother get put in. It was a digital one that updated monthly with new songs, so Eden thumbed through them absentmindedly. Until she settled on ‘Boyfriend’ originally by Dove Cameron, but this was a cover because– well, it was easier to get covers on something like this. She grinned, swiping her credit card, and selecting the song to play after someone's selection of an old Kenny Rogers song.

“Found you.” Bradley says, passing her a yellow shaded drink with a soft smile, “Just as you asked, your mom was behind the counter.”

Eden blanks, “That’s weird. She didn’t want me coming tonight because she wasn’t gonna be behind the bar. I guess plans got changed.”

Bradley shrugs, then offers his cup toward Eden, “a toast, to the newest member of our little ragtag squadron.”

“Aw, how sweet.” Eden smiles, clinking her drink to Bradley's, and taking a sip, before hissing about how strong it is, making Bradley’s face light up in a happy laugh as the two hide off in the little back corner of the bar. Though, not all goes unnoticed, because Eden can see her mother lean over the bar to whisper something to Maverick, who (after a beat) glances at Eden. Something crawls in her stomach, a sick subconscious realization she can’t quite place yet, and she turns back to Bradley who’s now taken a spot on the wall next to her.

“Why the hell does my mom treat Maverick like he’s the best thing since sliced bread.” Eden huffs, rolling her eyes as she breaks Maverick’s eye contact. Rooster hums, taking a decent-sized gulp of his drink as he sighs out.

“Well, they are both single.”

“Ew!” Eden laughs, shoving Bradley, who stumbles a bit as he holds his hands up in mock surrender. The two chuckle a bit before the fake Dove Cameron voice comes over the small speakers, which are easy to hear in this mostly vacant corner, and Eden starts to softly sing along. Her real voice this time, and Bradley looks floored, he smiles and hums along to the chorus.

“So this is how you really sing, Benjamin?” He questions and she giggles, rolling her weight across her shoulders and to her side as she leans on the wall, now facing Bradley. She catches Maverick staring at the two of them again, this time with daggers in his eyes, and she bites her lip. Well, she knows one way to make someone look away– make them ashamed for even seeing what they’re watching.

“If I could give you some advice,” She sings along to the song as she places her hand on Bradley’s chest, leaning in close to him and pressing her stomach against his leg that’s propped up so she’s standing between his legs. His whole face flushes a bright red as she leans in, bringing her face close to his as she whispers– not sings, the lyrics, “I would leave with me tonight.”

She winks, stepping back as she drags her hand down his chest, before she taps the embroidered ‘Bradshaw’ on her jacket and spins, making her way further into the dinner crowd that swarms in through the side door from the beach. She knows it takes Bradley a second to follow her because there's a pause before a hand is on her waist. As she stops a foot or so away from where Bob and Phoenix watch Payback and Fanboy attempt a “world record pace” game of eight ball, Rooster tilts into her.

“This is the game we’re gonna play, Benjamin?” He practically growls, as if it's irritating him. She was surprised she was able to get him this hot and bothered on the second day of knowing him, but she should probably tone it down. There was a pretty inflexible no fraternization rule for a reason.

“Sure.” She smiles, leaning her head back to look up at him, “I think I'll win.”

“In your dreams.” He says, and even though Eden’s not really sure what the two of them are competing for, she knows she made Maverick and Penny finally stop staring, so that’s good enough for her.

A few hours later, Eden finds herself outside, helping out a sick Bob who got stuck doing shots with Fritz. It hadn’t ended well for Bob, who wasn’t a drinker in general. Plus, Fritz had willingly chosen Southern Comfort. Which was… terrible , frankly.

“Poor Bob,” Phoenix says, setting a water bottle next to her WSO. Eden slaps his back as another round of… whatever he’d eaten this morning comes out. Once he’s finished, Phoenix nurses him to a water bottle while Eden shuffles around in her bag for painkillers she knows she has. Though she keeps finding Benadryl, which is great, though she’s not having an allergic reaction right now.

“Where’s my fucking Ibuprofen?” Eden clamors, “I don’t want fucking Nyquil!”

Phoenix snorts, patting Bob on the back as he bends over the railing again, “Do you have a whole pharmacy in there?”

“Pretty much– Aha!” Eden holds out the almost empty bottle and makes a mental reminder to buy more soon, “Here you go, Bobert . And I have some Pepto Bismol.”

He smiles, wiping his lips with a towel Eden had found in the kitchen, “You’re literally an angel.”

“Let’s get you feeling better,” Eden opens both bottles, taking out a capsule of Pepto Bismol, and two tablets of Ibuprofen. The three of them laugh when Eden nearly drops it, Bob whining about how he needs the medicine now or he’ll die. Seconds later, Phoenix is nearly spitting out her own water when she watches through the window as Hangman falls and eats the floor while trying to dance on a chair.

“I think Maverick’s gonna hate us tomorrow, we’re all gonna be hung over.” Eden looks back through the window where Halo sings dramatically with her arm draped over Coyote’s shoulder, “And I’m running out of medicine by the end of the week if you all keep being idiots like this.”

“Oh, definitely.” Phoenix giggles, “but I’m glad we can all let loose a bit, even if it takes alcohol for that to happen.”

Eden laughs too, a bring smile on her lips as she hopes– no, prays, that this all works out because never in her life has she so easily slotted into a group like this. Something about these pilots was new, different from her ex. And It made everything feel so… new. For once, Eden was breathing oxygen after being submerged in a frozen lake. Or like she was seeing the world through new glasses lenses.

Maybe it was just the alcohol talking though. She hoped not.

“Alright, if he’s got medicine in him, I’ll take him back to base,” Bradley said as he stepped out of the back door with his car keys in hand. He’s only had two drinks in the five or so hours they’d been at the bar, so he, Phoenix, and Eden had become the designated drivers.

Eden nodded to him, setting her bag by her feet as she started to tug off Bradley’s jacket, “Give him like ten minutes to take the meds, just so his stomach settles. And here, this is yours.”

“You can keep it, honestly, I don’t mind.” He laughs as he stares out the outstretched jacket, “It’s not uniform or anything.”

Eden holds it out to him, shaking it now, “Yeah, but it’s the summer in San Diego– it’s burning hot, and if I show up wearing this again I’m afraid Hangman will buy me a pregnancy test with genuine intentions.”

Phoenix barks out a laugh from where she stands, holding the pills for Bob as she rubs his forehead in pain, but a small smile at Eden’s comment creeps across his lips. Bradley takes it, throwing it over one of his shoulders as he smiles.

“Did you spray it down with roses or something?”

“My perfume,” Eden laughs, “I forgot it was on my bed and sprayed a bunch of perfume on me before leaving. The poor jacket was behind me, it must’ve picked up quite a bit.”

“Just enough.” He murmurs, watching as the night stars dip through the waves only say a hundred or so feet away from where they stand on the deck. High tide comes in slowly as time ticks by. And though he stares out at the beautiful scenery as Phoenix announces seven minutes until Bob can take his medicine, Eden finds herself being unable to look away from him. The curve of his jaw, the scarring on his skin, the way he’d pushed his sunglasses up onto his head, so now they served as a makeshift headband.

Maybe now she hoped the alcohol was talking, but god, he looked good.

The next day, Tuesday, training goes by without a hitch, Eden completes most of her studying and manages to stop at least ten different arguments. Even though the group acted like best friends when liquored up, the second they weren’t under the influence Eden felt like she was stuck in the world's most annoying dick measuring contest. Hangman was antagonizing everyone, and he’d probably gone close to five hundred push-ups today as punishment for his antics. Bradley had flirted with Eden every chance he had, mostly because he’d realized how much it irritated Maverick. Everyone else had behaved, for the most part, and Eden went to sleep with a new group chat blowing up her phone.

Wednesday starts the bomb-drop training. Which wouldn't usually scare Eden, since her ex’s best friend had almost died in G-Loc. So, when Maverick mentioned how possible it was to happen today, she’d been practically sweating bullets. The first few hours of tests are fine, then Maverick goes to fly it with Coyote, and shit goes so wrong so quickly. One second she’s standing next to Fanboy and Phoenix, watching as Coyote hits the mark perfectly, then the next second she’s screaming at him as he falls unconscious and his plane starts to drift down.

“C’mon!” Maverick yells over the comms, “Wake up, wake up, Coyote!”

Eden wasted no time throwing herself out of the chair to scramble over to her medical equipment. She worked with bated breath, fear making her hands shake ever so slightly as she dug out the little guide and re-read what procedures she needed to do for G-Loc events. Everyone relaxes the second Coyote’s able to right his plane with a panicked breath as Maverick softly directs him, voice stern but gentle as he runs Coyote through the entire touchdown process Eden was sure the both of them could do in their sleep by now. Once Eden snaps herself out of her anxiety-filled trance, she throws a bag over her shoulder and grabs another bag at her feet, tearing out onto the tarmac as she radioed in.

“Miramar Central, this is Doctor Benjamin with ID-1301,” Eden says as she watches Coyote's plane make a shaky landing, bouncing way more than his usual, and she just knows he’s out of it.

A woman’s voice comes across her walkie, “Benjamin, this is the central dispatch for Miramar.”

Eden watches as Maverick lands behind Coyote, and the second the two are parked, he’s climbing out hastily as Coyote stays put, “I need the other medic for ID-1301 to Taxi G-0, one of our pilots just came out of G-Loc.”

“I’ll send Doctor Bianco.” The woman on dispatch says, and soon steps are brought to Coyote's jet so Eden can make her way up to him in the cabin as quickly as possible. Aka, she's running up before they’ve locked the steps in place.

“Hey, Javy,” Eden calls as she kneels on the top step, she can hear Maverick coming up behind her. He pauses once she sees Eden beginning a concussion test by having him follow her finger, tell her the answers to simple questions, and by checking his pupils. When everything looks good, she has him stand up and exit the jet. As the two make it down the steps, a male doctor steps off a golf cart and tsks.

“What are you doing?” He shouts at Eden, “You were told to wait until I got here!”

“I wasn’t told anything, and my concern is the pilot who just blacked out for thirty seconds in the air!” Eden snaps back immediately, her eyes narrowing at her so-called co-medic. Without having ever met Doctor Bianco before, Eden already knew the two of them wouldn't get along. He seemed to be more fact-oriented, whereas she was more heart oriented (which was probably bad for the Navy) and she was sure they’d rip each other's heads off at some point.

“I– god, you’re fucking hopeless . Give him here–” Doctor Bianco goes to grab Coyote, who leans onto Eden harder in protest. As his knees nearly give out, Coyote’s whining about his head pounding with all the yelling, the rest of the team watches anxiously as Eden leads him to the medical cart, having him sit down so she can continue the assessment, ignoring the other doctor as he complains.

“Hey,” Maverick comes up beside the two, “Relax, she’s doing just fine. Better than most medics we get out here on the tarmac.”

“She's not a real flight surgeon!” Doctor Bianco cries, “She’s gonna get you all killed!”

“Full offense,” Phoenix cuts Maverick’s comeback off, “I’d trust Eden with my life a million times before I’d trust you.”

And when Doctor Bianco turns around to snap back at Phoenix, he can see the whole team behind Phoenix watching him with quite a few confused and concerned looks. He huffs, not liking the fact he’s being pushed against, clearly evident by the way he crosses his arms and huffs again as he turns to where Eden does another round of tests on Coyote.

“We’ll get him an MRI.” Eden turns back to face him as she speaks, “because of the loss of oxygen and the rush of blood pressure to his brain, plus his reactions are a bit slow and his breathing is slightly off.”

“Fine.” Doctor Bianco says, not even being able to argue with Eden’s point, and he drives away with Coyote now in the passenger's seat as he pages an on-base ambulance to transfer him to a local hospital just ten minutes drive away. Unluckily, because her name tag and such were still being processed, Eden was unable to follow him due to security reasons. It was annoying, but she was glad those security measures were in place. Just in case.

“Well, Warlock and Hammer want us to end for the day.” Maverick sighs, Eden had never noticed he had slipped away for a moment. The pilots all murmur amongst themselves before they start to split off. Watching them go, Eden wraps her arms around herself and shakes her head as she takes a swallowing breath.

“Hy, kid, are you alright?” Maverick asks, grabbing her shoulder and squeezing it.

Eden sighs, “Yeah, sorry, it just freaked me out, being all... in the moment– baby’s first medical emergency.”

Maverick laughs softly, watching Eden with a fond look in his eyes as he brings a hand up to tousle her hair a bit, “You’ll get used to the emergencies, it comes with the job.”

Eden finds herself nodding in agreement, even though she personally doesn’t really think that she’s cut out for it as she shifts from foot to foot, watching as the pilots softly converse amongst themselves, cliqued off, as they pack up to leave.

“Hey, Eden!” Halo calls, “Can you text us when they update you on Coyote?”

Eden smiles, “The second I get a message, y’all will know.”

The pilots yell various thank yous, and Maverick nods in thanks as he splits from the group to leave, and Eden finds herself clicking on her phone to see if there’s a message. When she doesn’t see one, her anxiety spikes with the fear of never getting a message from the hospital. It comes faster than she thinks it will, three hours later as she’s cooking, her phone idly vibrating on the counter while Amelia plays some song on her violin. She answers the call, a nurse named Violet telling her the instructions for Coyote’s next few days, and when she ends the call she finds herself relaxing for the first time since three o’clock that afternoon.

iMessage: ID-1301: The Best of Top Gun

Bagman : ‘Let’s play 8-ball!’

Fanbo y: fuck u bags

Bob : no one wants to play 8-ball, ever.

Phoenix emphasized ‘no one wants to play 8-ball, ever’

Eden Benjamin : Hey crew

Eden Benjamin : Good news, Coyote is a-ok. No concussion or anything, but he’s off of screen time for the rest of the day while he gets some rest. You can visit him if you want, but I’d call and ask beforehand. He won’t be flying the next few days, but will be attending class, be nice, and don’t smack him about while he rests up.

Eden Benjamin : And now I'm putting this chat on do not disturb because I’m about to beat my sister’s ass in Mario Kart. Call me with serious questions ONLY. If someone is not dead or dying I don't wanna know.

Jacket Giver (Bradshaw) : Yes Ma’am, thank you, Ma’am.

Halo, Phoenix, Harvard, and three more emphasized, ‘Yes Ma’am, thank you, Ma’am.’

Eden sits at the hanger the next morning, staring at the ceiling as she takes a slow breath. They were doing the same drill again, this time Coyote joining her on the ground. They’d been going at it all day, paired with a break for lunch at a local deli, and a momentary switch to the drill they’d done Tuesday that Eden decided to dub Cat and Mouse. But for now, Hangman and Halo were running through the bomb drop and massive climb drill Eden still hadn’t named. So, Eden and Coyote sat in the safe shade of the hangar, Coyote writing a letter to his youngest niece (who just turned eight) as Eden worked quietly on her books.

Luckily today she’d decided to brush up on everyone’s medical history, and pretty much everyone had clear histories. Except for Phoenix, Maverick, Rooster, and Coyote. Surprisingly, Coyote’s was the most detailed on a severe injury to his left wrist after a dogfight left him with bullet metal in his wrist. Not bullets, ‘bullet metal’ was how it was written. Meaning the bullet had broken, most likely.

“Hey Coyote,” Eden says as she looks up, “You and Rooster were involved in the same accident?”

“Our first deployment, we got in a dogfight with the enemy. He had to eject, I stayed in to cover his parachute before I ejected myself. We were stranded in a desert for a few hours before we were found by a rescue team, which, ironically, Doctor Bianco was a part of when he first started.” Coyote explains as if the idea of near-death doesn’t scare him in the slightest, “Did you get to his file yet, I think it explains it more?”

“Uh…. not yet.” She says before she’s flipping through and finding Rooster’s file. There, it reads that he’d ejected after his engines had been shot by an enemy pilot. He’s hit his shoulder on the canopy, dislocating it and breaking his clavicle, making him unfit to fly for four months. As she read through the file, it also detailed a ‘severe psychological break’ that resulted in his prolonged absence from flying.

“Yeesh.” Eden murmurs, thumbing through the rest of the file, observing the photographs of his X-Rays on his shoulder.

“Not a fun time.” Coyote sits up, eyes glancing over at the screen with a confused look. He sets his pen down, standing up now, and making his way over. Eden ignores him for the time being, scribbling down to check Rooster’s shoulder before they get flown out to the carrier in two weeks' time.

“She hit a bird,” Someone says, and Eden perks up to see Halo rushing into the room, “Eden, Phoenix, and Bob hit birds.”

“Is she able to extinguish the engines and glide?” Eden closes her notebook as she stands, idly making her way over to where the rest of the group is beginning to hover around the computers. This was the last test of today. Why did something have to go wrong like yesterday?

“She's trying, but it's not working well.” Harvard calls and now Eden’s grabbing the headphones– a new addition as of this morning, to listen in to the comms. As soon as she’s on them the first thing she hears is Maverick yelling, and Phoenix uncharacteristically panicked.

“Phoenix, Bob, eject !”

The whole team freezes, except for Eden, who’s ripping the headphones off of her head and running to grab her medical equipment. She nearly slips and falls on someone's discarded water that had spilled in the rush to the computers, but manages to right herself with a jump as she stands to rush out of the hangar, there’s already a helicopter warming up and she’s not sure who exactly told them to get ready to go and retrieve the pilots.

“We’re gonna follow Maverick’s location on his plane,” one of the flight members says and Eden throws on a spare headset as she buckles in.

“How far away?” She asks.

“Ten minutes if we leave now.” The other pilot says and Eden nods, the helicopter taking off before she can even begin to logically think. She should have Doctor Bianco with her, she should have at least another medic, but she doesn't find it in her to care. She told herself she was going to be the best and this right here is the only way to really know. As they fly dead forward for ten minutes, the other two passengers– two retrievers as she’s heard Hangman call them once or twice, scan the area for flares or parachutes. Luckily, they’re in the desert, so it's easy to find two identical parachutes with a jet making circles a few thousand feet above them. The two other passengers drop down and bring Phoenix and Bob into the helicopter, they look relatively okay, save for Phoenix’s bloody nose, so Eden moves across the seats to begin assessing them.

“You both scared the shit out of me.” She says softly, handing Phoenix wipes for her nose while she gently shifts it around. Luckily, nothing is broken, it will most likely just bruise a bit.

“Sorry,” Bob says softly and Phoenix shakes her head.

“It’s my fault, Bob, I should’ve been watching.”

Eden watches the two as they look at each other, a sad conversation passing with glances– something Eden’s realized only backseaters do with their pilots before Phoenix turns back to Eden so she can hand her an ice pack and a bottle of water. She hands Bob the water as well. She begins to do simple assessments, checking for concussions, reflexes, taking blood pressure, and such. Everything she does, she does with confidence. She does assessments and teaches assessments a thousand or more times, her hands don’t shake, and she works with the efficiency of every great doctor she’d seen in her life.

“We’re gonna go land at the hospital so they can do assessments,” the pilot says, “Plus, it's mandated for every ejection too.”

“No worries,” Eden says as she sits back, going to ask Bob a question when she sees him lull forward as if he’s passing out, “Okay, a little worry, speed up.”

“Bob?” Phoenix looks over and he coughs, bringing a hand to his head and Eden’s unsure if the painkillers he’d asked for this morning for his headache are wearing off, or if it’s serious. Internal bleeding, or a broken bone, maybe punctured lungs? Nothing she can easily assess now.

“Bob, what hurts? Talk to me.” Eden sits up, using her leg to drag her medical equipment a bit closer as she grabs a stethoscope that's basically useless in the air, but she's gonna fucking try anyway.

“I… my rigging for my parachute was pulling on my side, it burns now. My whole chest and stomach just hurt a lot.” He says and unluckily, Eden can't undo the top of his uniform without removing the whole thing, so she has to just hold out on the flight to the hospital.

“Just breathe, okay? Try and stay awake.” She speaks, trying to hide the tremor in her tone, “did either of you hit anything on ejection?”

“No,” both pilots echo.

Eden nods, listening to Bob’s heartbeat the best she can through his flight gear. It's strong enough for her to hear it, and from what she can hear it sounds perfectly fine, “Then we most likely only have to worry about the change in altitude, okay?”

The two pilots in front of her nod before the helicopter is slowly descending over the hospital. Eden scoots back, holding onto a handrail as they land and nurses and doctors begin to swarm the helicopter with wheelchairs and gentle reassurances as they guide the aviators into them. Almost immediately, Eden is grabbed by a nurse and she’s asked to explain the symptoms she’d been able to gather from both pilots, but soon they’re moving them down into the hospital, and Eden has no choice but to stand in the waiting area and wait for someone to tell her what’s going on.

And she finds, for the second time, that she abso-fucking-lutely hates waiting.

Hello pumpkins ~

How are y'all? As my 3rd year of med school and my 3rd year of gyaru has started (galversery was August 16), I would like to set some goals for myself since if you want to achieve, it helps to clearly visualize what it is you want to achieve. If I’m being real, I was supposed to make this post a few weeks ago, but I’ve been so busy

_(´ཀ`」∠)_

Well I have an announcement but first…

THANKS SO MUCH FOR 200 FOLLOWS!!

I always say this but I just sorta started this blog as a way to catalogue the events in my life (bc I’m kinda forgetful) and I didn’t need anyone to read my content necessarily, just writing it was enough. It does feel so special though that so many people enjoy my blogs (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ ) Thanks again everyone

Also don’t forget to follow my blogger and TikTok, and do expect a September pic dumb soon, xxx

Now onto the announcement.

. .

. . .

I’m leaving gyaru officially.

Did I getcha www What I mean is that I am not going to refer to myself as explicitly a gyaru anymore. And I’m officially leaving the community. Kinda? The things going on in the community (not just recently if I’m being honest) since I’ve joined make me so embarrassed to just be in it despite me not even really being close with other foreign gyaru’s. I’m still going to do gyaru style, I just won’t be calling myself a gyaru if that makes sense. So more accurately I’m rebranding myself. I also hate just confining myself to one style so I’m gonna try and experiment with that abit this year as well. I’ve always kinda just been quiet and keeping to myself in this community, which really does make this decision and transition simple for me to execute.

Anyways without ado let's start with my goals:

Socail life goals

1. Talk only to my friends who have shown that they are good people.

I made some friends within the past year, good and bad, but I choose as always to keep only positives in my life. If you have shown to me that you cannot be trusted, I understand you and I move on. If you were involved in any capacity with my ex-friend group drama in any capacity, it's done. We've had our good times, but as always it's time for me to move onto better things. Whether that be with my other friends or alone. I will be happy regardless.

2. Make sure to make time for the people that matter to me.

Despite how busy things may get, I should try and do something with my friends weekly or subweekly. Hanging out, even if it's to study together, shows you want to be close with that person and that you value that relationship. We all have our responsibilities too, so I will try my best for this one.

Career goals

I've already sorta planned/made steps for this, but regardless let's go!

1. No resits

I was lucky to not have any resits this time around however I have more responsibilities this year that I have taken on. Resits are exhausting and deplete your time and energy. Luckily the weighting is neutral, but this is to be avoided at all costs.

2. Be in a club/society

Because it’s good to have extracurriculars. I want to join the choir this year and am already the secretary for the nutrition society. I’m also in the innovations subcommittee for the surgical society atm. I’m gonna try my best to do it all.

3. Research

I want to try and find a research project I’m interested and be guaranteed a summer project within this fall semester. It’s not mandatory but obviously it would be great to do one. God help me because am I gonna be busy this semester（ ; ; ）

4. USMLE/ MCCQE preparation

I want to do step 1 before 4th year. I also would like to start preparing from christmas but this will be the hardest thing I will do. I can do it tho. I have endless drive and willpower, so I just need to pace myself and to do well. And also. DO. NOT. PROCRASTINATE.

Fashion/subculture/SNS goals

1. Learn more parapara and post tiktok’s!

I know a few routines already but I’d like to learn even more this year! As a medical student I’m kinda busy but I want to learn some more this year as well.

2. Growing my TikTok

Honestly, I slightly regret the time I devoted to growing my IG versus how that could have been used to grow my TikTok. Hopefully this is gonna be successful. At least by my own standards.

And that is all U^ｪ^U

Honestly, each year I set these goals so I at least have a clear direction of where I want to direct myself into the future. And even if I don’t end up completing my goals, I make some progress which is just as good to me. Anyways for everyone who has started the new school year I wish you all the best of luck and hope you have the greatest year. I’ll see you in the next post,

How did Spring Break looked like for your MC and Sienna during college/med school? Wild parties/vacation? Nice trip? Going back home? Staying behind to study? Anything in between? What about Ethan and Max?

Thanks for this ask, Nonny. I've gone overboard with my response (shocker, I know 😉)

Cassie:

In Freshman year of college, Cassie and her boyfriend Jackson, Max and their friends went to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for spring break. One of their friend's parents had a vacation home there. It was a wild week full of partying and drinking, and definitely an experience for the ages.

The following three years were less wild as her studies and dance picked up:

Sophomore year: She went to South Carolina with her boyfriend Jackson -- a command performance (his words). It was his sister's wedding and there was a lot of family drama. So, not as much fun.

Junior year: She had her ballet spring recital right after, so spent the week in rehearsals. It was during this recital that she suffered a torn ACL, which meant the end of her ballet ambitions.

Senior year: She and Jackson went to a luxury resort in St. Lucia. They both wanted a break before finals and spent the week just relaxing by the beach, snorkeling, and having fun.

Medical school years:

Those years were intense and she wasn't into partying by then. She used whatever breaks were offered to relax and recharge at her parents' home. At the same time, she was often studying during spring break, whether it was for her USMLE exams or catching up on reading research (especially Ethan Ramsey's papers) that she had missed when busy with classes.

Cassie was single during medical school, dating on and off. So, when she was back home her mom would try to set her up with eligible men from their social circle. Cassie went along with it most of the time because she was often lonely, and knew her mom had good taste. She also caught up with her cousins and her high school/college friends in the area.

Max:

Much to his parents dismay, Max has always been a workaholic. Except for spring break in freshman year, he would rather pick up shifts at work than waste time going on spring break.

It's not that he doesn't like to party, but he knew he could do that anytime and often did during the year. Spring break is a busy time in the hotel and hospitality business and he wanted to gain as much experience as he possibly could.

His college girlfriend Eva was not happy, but knew him well enough to recognize that she couldn't change his mind. She often went somewhere with her friends, and Max joined her for a day or two if he could get away.

He had a plan for his career, and nothing was going to deter him. He can party hard when he wants to, but spring break and all its entails wasn't for him.

Ethan:

I can't see Ethan doing traditional spring break. At the same time, it reminds of that scene from Gilmore Girls where Rory and Paris decide to stay at Yale during Spring Break, but then end up driving down to Florida where they run into Madeline and Louise. lol

Ethan liked how quiet campus was during spring break. He got uninterrupted research time at the library and in the chemistry labs. He was working as a research assistant for one of his professors, and enjoyed working on projects. He visited Alan during that time, but didn't take any trips down south like his classmates.

I don't think Ethan was anti-social during college or that he didn't party. He definitely did. But, he was also focused on his studies and getting good grades to keep his scholarship. As such, he prioritized research and studies during his free time, and kept the partying to a minimum.

Sienna:

As Sienna had grown up in New Orleans, she found the cold winter in New Jersey unbearable during her freshman year. She was also homesick. So, that first year she went home during spring break and spent time with her family, especially her grandfather, and enjoyed the pleasant weather.

Her free time at Princeton was kind of mixed. She was making friends, meeting new people, going to parties. But, she also had a heavy course load, was volunteering and doing extra curricular activities to get her ready for medical school.

She had broken up with high school boyfriend, Aaron, halfway through freshman year in college (they just drifted apart). So, she threw herself into dating those first couple of year. She met Wayne at a party and after that they were together.

She was studying for her MCATs during spring break in junior year, and volunteered at an urgent care clinic in her senior year. She was just focused on medical school admissions those last two years.

Sienna found medical school challenging at the first, so she was always studying. Spring break was a chance to relax and rest. Wayne was still in New York, so she mostly spent her free time with him or with her friends, exploring the city.

Her last two years of med school were about rotations, sub-internships, clerkships, research projects, studying, etc., so she had limited free time. But, she had a good group of friends and they all kept each other entertained including day and weekend trips to Greenwich, CT, the Hamptons, etc.

Her sister and parents came to visit her in third year, so that was a fun spring break for her. Wayne had moved to Boston by then (much to her family's delight). Generally, spring break during medical school was always short and she barely had time to catch her breath before her studies began anew.

USMLE Journey Chapter 1: Introduction

Hi. I'm currently a Junior Intern (Clerk) in the Philippines but I've been interested in pursuing my residency in the US. I decided to push myself and start getting to know the requirements and process of application and test-taking now because I know that I have no time to lose (I'm a little tinnie tiny bit older and I'm on a time crunch for personal reasonssss) so yeah. I've seen some MD YouTubers share their experiences in taking Step 1 but I barely saw a comprehensive take on the They're pretty inspiring tho! Will be linking some of their stuff here too :) So I decided to make this blog and document the things I've learned and my own USMLE journey from preparation to residency. I hope future aspiring IMGs would find this Tumblr helpful in their personal pursuit of being a USMD. - Ut in Omnibus Glorificetur Deus

Hi I’m a current medical resident studying for step 3 and it’s whooping my butt, do you have any tips or recommendations?

Oh boy, I am reaaally not a great person to ask for studying advice, but I can at least tell you what I did. I am a notoriously bad study-er, though, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. First thing I'd recommend is basing your study plan at least a little bit off your residency In Training Exams or any old practice exams for boards you've taken, because then you will get a systems break down of which areas/topics you need to work more on. For me, I was always super strong in cardiovascular, nephro, and neuro, but pretty weak in OB-GYN/women's care. Knowing that helped me know where to focus my time/efforts. I also recommend looking up the test breakdown based on general topic. Spend more time studying topics that are going to be more highly represented on the exam. I used a systems based approach to studying for USMLE exams and my family medicine boards. First I would get a single study book (I think I just used First Aid) and read through the section on a specific system. I would take notes and review any notes I already had on that topic. I would add notes to my First Aid book with stuff from my own experience and personal notes as well. Then I would get a Q-bank like U-world and go through as many questions as I could tolerate on the same topic. I would add any new things I learned to the notes I'd made and/or annotate my First Aid book with new info from these questions. I would repeat this process for every major organ system or test topic until I got through most of them. As I worked through, I kept a running list of topics that I noticed coming up a lot, or that I missed frequently, and would read through that list at least once per day. My brain likes lots of organization so doing it this way helped me a lot. If you have a specific study style that has worked for you with previous USMLE exams, doing something similar is probably going to be your best bet for step 3, I'd assume. Anyone else feel free to chime in.
