How i became a doctor in the US (in under 4 years) w/ Dr Toyosi
In this episode Dr Toyosi shares how she became a medical doctor in the US in under 4 years. Dr Toyosi relocated to the US from Nigeria in 2022 and lives in Oregon with her husband and 2 lovely kids. She completed pre-med and medical school in Nigeria and always had the dream of moving to America to practice medicine. Upon graduating from medical school, she started working at a private practice and took the bold step to register for the US medical board exams (USMLE) while in Africa. She saved up a lot to be able to register for the exams and also had the support of her family. She talked about meeting her husband (who was also a doctoral student) on one of her visits to the US and he has become her greatest cheerleader and support since then. After writing and passing part 1 of the USMLE exams in Africa, she moved to the US shortly afterwards to join her husband in 2022. Upon getting to the US, she wrote and passed the remaining USMLE exams and got placed almost immediately for residency in her hospital of choice. Having recently completed her residency, she is now getting ready to get started on her Fellowship in clinical informatics after her maternity leave. This episode is for anyone who is curious about going to medical school, training to become a doctor, or just driven and inspired to succeed in life. Dr Toyosi is a well rounded and grounded individual whose story will inspire you.
