LibertyMedics

Hi there. Welcome to Liberty Medics.

We help international doctors and medical students move to the USA with our step-by-step online course and a private community that provides support throughout your journey.

Move Your Medical Career to the United States

If you're a doctor or medical student from around the world feeling unexcited and undervalued by your current healthcare system, a move to the USA is the right one for you. Doctors in the United States are better paid, have more focused training pathways, and have safer staffing levels. It is still possible to have the well paying, satisfying, and exciting career you deserve as a doctor if you move to the right country.

Our flagship How To Make It In America course teaches you everything you need to know about the process, from the very beginning when you're considering if it's the right move for you, all the way through studying for the USMLEs, clinical electives, letters of recommendation, 'The Match', and even visas and immigration. We've got you covered. Our course is also dynamic - we're always adding new videos to keep up to date with the ever-changing landscape IMGs have to deal with. And the best part - once you have access, it lasts for life.

Our lead instructor, Dr. Syed, is an IMG from the UK who matched into the top ranking Dermatology residency program in the country at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He went on to become a Chief Resident there, and is now one of their faculty. He has previously served on interview and selection panels for residency programs. He and our other instructors will share key insights from their own experiences of the entire journey to help you achieve your dream match.

And if you're still not sure this is the right course for you, check out our authentic subscriber testimonials below, including doctors who matched at Yale and Mayo Clinic in 2023 and 2022, and medical students who scored >260 in their USMLE Step 1 after using the advice in this course.

Course Subscriber Testimonials

Tomini Fashina (Matched at Mayo Clinic 2022)

Being mentored by LibertyMedics, was truly one of the best decisions I made in my journey to move from the UK to the US.

Usama is a funny, thoughtful and very capable mentor. He gave me sage advice, which prepared me well for my application and interview.

I am now a second year Pediatrics resident at Mayo Clinic on an H1b visa and am unbelievably grateful to LibertyMedics for how they helped me get here!

Jessica Steadman (266 Step 1)

After reading only positive reviews about the 'How To Make It In America' course, I signed up.

This proved to be a pivotal decision for me. The USMLE went from being this abstract, unreachable dream to a reality that, with a little discipline and a lot of hard work, might actually be something I could do.

I based my own Step 1 preparation largely on his account using very similar material and came away with a 266. I was delighted and so grateful for the course, without which I could not have dreamed of getting such a score.

Now preparing for my elective, I am still referring back to the information delivered by Dr Syed. His course is invaluable, inspirational, and all encompassing: I could not recommend it more highly.

Giselle Birch (Matched at Yale 2023)

The 'How To Make It In America' course really gave me a great framework to begin my journey to apply to residency in the US. I only started seriously thinking about applying in my penultimate year of medical school and when you’re not particularly well versed or clued up on the process it is both a daunting and mammoth task! Usama and Shirin have created an invaluable bank of resources which guide you step by step through the process, and I truly believe without this guidance I would not have had the confidence or knowledge to navigate this journey. A massive thank you to the whole team for everything!

Ed Lovering (Matched IM 2023)

Not only are the LibertyMedics videos unimaginably convincing, but they are full of priceless facts about the exams, application and visa process.

Usama went out of his way and immediately messaged me on Match Day to congratulate me for a job well done.

I truly can say I could not have done this without the LibertyMedics team. First year internal medicine resident and MedSTAR union in Baltimore (affiliated with Georgetown Medical School) on an H1b visa. Thank you LibertyMedics for all you do!

Abhiyan Bhandari

"The How To Make It In America course was extremely beneficial and truly made me consider the US residency pathway. It covered all aspects of residency application, USMLE, Visa, ECFMG, Match, electives etc. relevant to an IMG applying to the US and through the perspective of Dr. Syed... I highly recommend to anyone considering pursuing this pathway!"

James Booker

"Well-organised, succinct, in-depth and well-run - the course gave me the ability to make an informed choice on pursuing a move to America."

Rachel Emily

"The How To Make It In America course really is the most comprehensive guide to transitioning to the USA as a UK medical student. 100% recommend this to anybody interested in or considering taking this path. You’ll be so glad you did it!"

Rory McCaughan

"The How To Make It In America course was excellent and fairly priced, a great way to learn all the information you need to make a transition to US residency. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking to practice in the states."

Rochelle Slyvester

"Extremely informative! Very thought-provoking but not biased to persuading you to go."

Gurpreet Johal

"The How To Make It In America course is well put together and comprehensive, would advise anybody who is thinking of, or anywhere down the process of, doing their USMLEs to go on this course. It's a great walk-through and guide for what it takes to get ready for the exams and helps really breakdown how to prep for step 1, the timelines to work to and the exact costs that it will all take."

Dilen Parmar

"...I highly recommend the How To Make It In America course for anyone even remotely considering a career in the US, as the course summarised what I reckon would be hours of research online and put any doubts to rest, whilst providing a balanced view of the pros and cons of a career abroad."

FAQs

What is included in the course?

We have over 100 videos in our course catalogue, going through each part of the journey of applying for residency training in the US step-by step. We start by going through the pros and cons of a medical career in the US so you can decide whether it's even the right move for you. Then, we talk you through all things USMLE (booking the exams, cost, preparing, when is best to take it, tips for exam day etc.). We then talk about electives, letters of recommendation, applying for 'The Match', the interview trail, and even crucial visa and immigration related topics for after you match! Those who sign up for our 'How To Make It In America' course also get bonus access to our 'Mastermind Community' (see below for an explanation of what that is!)

How long will I have access to the course?

For life! Once you buy access to the 'How To Make It In America' course, it will be available for you as long as you need it. We know that for so many medical students/ doctors, the idea of moving to the US is something they toy with for years, but don't always know for sure when they'll take the plunge. A lot of other resources have a 6 month/ 1 year expiry, so people are hesitant of signing up too early. We want to be here for you from the beginning when you're trying to weigh up the pros and cons of the move, but also all the way through your journey!

What is the 'Mastermind Community'?

The 'Mastermind Community' is a closed, moderated group specifically with other IMGs subscribed to our How To Make It In America Course and the LibertyMedics team, where you can share tips, ask questions, and generally be a part of a big family as you embark on this journey! Such a huge part of the U.S. residency application process is making friends along the way who you can lean on for support and for a feeling of togetherness. Once you sign up to our course, you will be given access to this group for the entire duration of your journey as a free bonus!

Is this course just for UK medical students or for people from different countries too?

LibertyMedics is dedicated to helping ALL international medical graduates, regardless of country of graduation, match into residency programs in the US. Whilst our founding members are UK based and speak about their own experiences, the guidance they provide is for ALL IMGs, whether you're from the UK, India, Pakistan, the UAE, South America, the Carribean or anywhere else!

When is the best time to do the course?

There really is no such thing as planning too early! When we at LibertyMedics started running our live courses in London a few years ago, we had course attendees ranging from 1st year medical students, all the way through to experienced 35+ year old Consultants (Attendings). If you're interested in a medical career in the US, then you will benefit from this course, no matter what stage in your career you're at.

I'm a little bit interested in a career in the US, but I'm by no means sure... will I still benefit from this?

Yes! Whilst we pride ourselves on providing exhaustively detailed instructions on the entire process of moving your medical career to the US, our course starts out spending a great amount of time helping people in exactly your position. We weigh up all the pros and cons of a medical career in the US in an unbiased and factual way. The only way to decide whether that little bit of interest will grow into something more is by getting informed, and that's where we come in!

Can we share our log in with others?

It has taken us years and years of hard work to put together this course, including a lot of expenditure on equipment, editing, website design and marketing. We try to price our product as fairly as we possibly can, and at $200 for lifetime access, we think the 'How To Make It In America' course is amongst the best valued resources available to IMGs anywhere (some well-known courses can be $5000 focusing only on one Step exam). For this reason, sharing log-ins is against our terms of use and we have to monitor log-in locations/ devices per account to make sure we are able to continue doing our work. We hope you guys can understand that and agree that our product is worth it!

What is the 'Mentorship' package?

The most extensive package offered by LibertyMedics. As well as access to the 'How To Make It In America' course and 'Mastermind Community', the Mentorship package includes personal statement review, interview preparation tips, a mock interview, and also 30 minute 1-on-1 mentoring sessions each month with Dr. Syed via video chat (up to 12 in total, timing decided by each package owner). Dr. Syed will take on each person subscribed to the Mentorship package as his mentee, using his own network of colleagues and contacts in the US to help them whenever possible, giving them access to his personal email address so they can reach out with questions throughout their journey, and generally helping as much as he can to put them on a path to success. As this will be a huge time commitment and Dr. Syed is a practising full-time doctor, the number of available Mentorship packages will be limited (as there are only a small number of mentees at any one point in time) and cost significantly more than the other available options. This is ideal for someone who needs a more intensive level of support through the process, feels like they tend to have a lot of questions, or who knows nobody else in the US and wants access to an existing network there from the beginning.
