i have my transcript ready with me. But my point is whether we will have to provide all the details of our clinical postings. Coz I have finished my MBBS more than 5 years ago. so i do not have dates of my clinical postings.
What i can write in clinical clerkships is only my internship dates or a broad period of my clinical postings not the details.
So please let me know whether we need to give the details of the clinical postings with date?
Thank you

hi everyone.thanks for the replies..about dr.pankaj's query..yes u can use anyone's credit card;-) if that person allows ofcourse!! see, at the stage that we are, hardly earning pocket money....most of us wont have credit cards in our names.....
i myself used my cousin's card...the limit of the card u use should be preferably 40.000 or more..coz converting the fees of 815$ into rs, is nearly 38,000...most credit cards havethat much limit..even visa silver has it..
make sure the card holder doesnt have any payments due when ur using the card..or he/she has limit less than 38,000 due to some pending bills..

and abt clinical clerkshps, no need to enter those in internshp, just enter those udid during ur med school...

thankfully, our med school offered to prepare transcripts beforehand..and most of us got it made in a month of starting internship...
ecfmg doesnt ask u to senda copy, but theres nothing wrong if u do, infact it creates good impressioni believe.

coz at later date they will ask u to send one
the one i sent now says i am doing internship and final transcript(from coll) and degree(from univ)will be issued only on completion of internship..and they have given details of all clinical clerkships and marks, attendance in allyr..etc..

tho i did enter all clerkships painstakingly(there were a total of 33, and u have to enter all details)
u r supposed to enter foll details fro each
1.name of subj
2.name of hosp, short address(atleast they expect name of area,city,state adn if u can rem pincode,write that too)
3.name of dr under whom u did that particular term/clerckship
4.duration(no need for specific date, just month/yr needed for each)

if u dont rem ur clerkship details(most ppl wont remmbr all of them unless u have it written down somwhere), pl ask ur coll admin office(the ones who post u at diff depts) to give u a list..they may charge u..in mycoll, they charge 50 rs for this info...and 250 for the full transcript with deans sign and seal

i hope that solves ur queries

hi everyone, by gods grace and good wishesof friends, ihave completed the application process. i sent the completed form 183 to ecfmg last night.by courier..
courier, dtdc is cheapest here 600 rs for usa..will deliver in 4-5 days.
ems speed post(govt post) is 475 rs..bt not very reliable as u cant track them..jahan itne paise diye hain(fees), better spend 100-200 more and ensure ur delivery fast and good quality
first flight couriers said 900 rs..would deliver in 1-2 days..but i m not in a hurry..so no sense spending so much

and abt me sleeping well...yeah thats right..i have slept 11 hrs last night...

thanks to god:-)

choice is all urs friends
thank you dr jyoti for all the details...

thanks a lot for all the information
but i am afraid i may not get the details of our clinical postings coz
i am from Maharashtra and the medical colleges are now attached to the new health sciences university and i completed my MBBS from the old parent university. moreover our college do not have the detaisl of the clinical postings of our batch nor do they have our attendance details. anyways i will try to enter as far as i remember
thanks a lot

Hello

You said that you have sent the application i.e form 183 by DTDC. But are we supposed to send it ourselves or we need to send it through the office of the dean of our medical college. because the instructions say that the documents should be sent by the office of the dean.
Please let me know.

Hi punkaj,

I am having the same difficulty in arranging for clinical posting in med school. We only get the posting transcript for internship. I finished 2 years before, and my college office is the most laziest i have ever seen. I remember one of my senior got this information immediately after finishing the course, but she paid more than Rs.2000.

I wonder if they have my information atall. Moreover i am in UK now. What do you guys suggest me? Should i be going back to india and meet my college dean (new person) to arrange for this? or any other options available?

looking forward to suggestions from all. feel free to contact me 'rakavin' atthe rate of ya..hoo, dotcom.

regards
vinu

Dear friends,
don feel fussy abt the clerkship issue....
i know many of my friends who left it blankand hvae passed the exams....
so if u have got the rotations fine n good enter as dr jyoti has said ..if not don bother it too much..
entering internship details is okk...

they will not be sending the deatils for the verification ...only official transcripts and degree is sent for verification from the college...

so jus chill for the time being and if u cudn't arrange for the docs (degree n transcript, jus apply as a student and u may later on supply the necessary info.... when available) well i'll confirm and write later abt this aspect after more info...

gud luck friends

hi all,
is the national identification no. asked in the IWA same as the passport no?

about name verification, i'm still unclear. do i get a notary public to sign saying my mbbs degree name and passport name belong to the same person? ecfmg says i can submit a birth certificate - but the initial is in front of the name in my birth certificate and behind the name in my degree (my passport bears my last name)

help!

hi,

me again. i'm still with the IWA.

is the date of completing requirements for final medical diploma same as graduation date (i.e. last day of CRRI)? Or is graduation date same as the date on which the medical diploma was issued?

Will someone who's already completed the process help me out? Thanks
