MS puts us over $900 - Thanks
All your kind words and affirmations of Emi's potential are right on the money.
She provides the brains and determination while we kick in some bucks to sustain her.
Very cool.
Gracias Muchisimas.

I am currently studying for the US exams. You might want to tell Emilia to check the pass rate of her school. I found my school in Ensenada taught
about 20% of the board material in the US. A very good friend of mine, Dr. Ephrain, who works in Ensenada is one of the only Mexicans who has passed
the boards from my school.

I would think that they have a good performance record as lots of US medical students attend there.

Of course the big bucks for a Doctor are in the US. so that is the prefered destination of choice for a new Doc. It would be nice to have that Medical
expertise in the Mulege area however, where it is sorely needed. The US sucks up medical talent from the third world countries at a pretty good pace,
if you look at the staffing of most of the big hospitals.

You need to do your residency someplace. Why not in the US where her technical skills can be honed.

Many schools in Mexico have lost US funding or loans for American students because they did not fulfill the pass rate of 60% or above. What is the
pass rate of Emilia's school?

Thank you GP over $900 now...almost there
Emi knows which courses give her the best shot at residency in Seattle. She is very focused.
A couple of bucks more and we will have hit the goal to keep her in Top-Ramen, pencils, and clean sheets for the time being.
Thanks to all the new patrons and double thanks to the regulars who have been with her all the way.
Peace,

P.S. Lancair - Emi wants to do her year of community service in Mulege
This gives Mulege one of the top students in the whole country because other students usually try to pick somewhere more exciting.
Mulege and the surrounding areas from Chivato to Posada will be very lucky to have such a dedicated provider. I hope the people with bucks from these
communities can see what a bargain this is.
Almost there.....
paypal is easy and if you mark it as a "gift" there are no fees.

Dont Understand
They say she is wanting to practice in her home town? So why are we studing for US residency? Why, a Doctor in the US makes $100,000.00 US a year not
$10,000.00 a year in her town if that. A 2 year residency in Seattle is a lot of US dollares, a 2 year in her home town is almost no dollaras

A cost of living index above 100 means Seattle, WA is more expensive.
Overall, Seattle, WA cost of living is 149.10.
The national average is 100

Cost of living index...love those statistics
She will do her mandatory year of public service her hometown if she can.
IF the gods are smiling she will do a US residency later which will allow her to practice anywhere she wants but if she happens to be visiting her
family when illness befalls you around Mulege then you would be very lucky to have her in your corner.
Lots of variables with a twenty year old, underfunded, long-odds student who happens to be really focused, bright, and determined.
I'm betting on Emi.
The cost of living index in Mulege must be something like .5 compared to Seattle. I spent ten years in Seattle and it's on par with Manhattan for
costs for most things.
Let's worry about that after she raises enough money to kick butt one more year.
Cheers,

There are no specific courses in Mexican medical school that will help you pass the US exam. The quality and level of Mexican medical school is
nowhere near the standards that are necessary to pass the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam).

I think it is 2 years of public service, and the Mexican government decides where you do it, maybe not you choice. That is what I hear from Mexican
Doctors

If there is an opening Prorader in Mulege, then Emilia can choose the position to do her internship and/or public service there.

I would think doing your internship among family, neighbors and friends would be taking the easy way out. These folks have been cheering you on for 4
years, are they now going to give you a failing or bad mark, if you make a mistake? The question is if you make real good grades does that make you a
real good Doctor? I do not live there so it is you that must decide Books or Flesh.

Whistler....stuck at just over $900....reach out a little further I guess.
She has a few days before heading back to school and I know many of her supporters don't follow this board in the summer. Someone will kick in the
remainder soon and off she goes again.
Thanks all.

_ .... ._ _. _._ ... Here's to people who really dig deep. NJ, CL, NO take us over the finsih line in style
Thank you very much Patrons. Emilia will have a grin from ear to ear when I tell her how many people believe in her and her goals.
You are an outstanding cast of characters in an unscripted play that is sure to win an "EMI" at the Pearly Gates.
Peace and a very good day to you all.
M.
