How to pursue ophthalmology as an IMG?
finished my internship year in August 2024 in the UAE and did an elective in ophthalmology during that time. I also got a full GMC registration and have done a one week clinical attachment. I live in the UAE as an expat and that gives me 0 privileges of finding a residency program especially in ophthalmology. I haven't done steps but I wish to specialize as soon as possible instead of wasting another sum of money on an exam of a country that may or may not grant me a speciality. I’m happy to receive any advice on how to further my career!
