In the episode #17 of MetaCast, we welcome Dr. Javed Sheikh, a radiology fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Originally from Mumbai, India, Dr. Sheikh completed his medical training and radiology residency before embarking on the Alternative Pathway to practice in the U.S. His journey is a testament to perseverance, adaptability, and strategic career planning, as he successfully navigated fellowships and secured competitive training opportunities in one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world.
We dive deep into the Alternative Pathway, a unique route that allows internationally trained radiologists to work in the U.S. without repeating residency. Dr. Sheikh explains how this pathway works, the requirements and challenges, and the differences between ACGME and non-ACGME fellowships. We also discuss the demand for radiologists in the U.S., how IMGs can increase their chances of acceptance, and practical strategies for building a successful medical career abroad.
