USMLE Step 2: The Best Way to Study | Moroccan Ophthalmologist IMG Experience

How do you prepare for USMLE Step 2 CK as an international medical graduate, especially when it’s been years since medical school? In this video, I share my personal experience as a Moroccan ophthalmologist and IMG, including how I used OnlineMedEd and First Aid for USMLE Step 1 in my preparation. I also talk openly about the challenges of studying as an “older IMG”: returning to subjects outside your specialty, balancing preparation with your career, and finding the confidence to keep going. If you’re feeling behind or wondering whether it’s too late to pursue your goals, I hope the final part of this video gives you the encouragement you need. Your path may take longer than someone else’s, but that doesn’t make it any less valuable. 💬 Where are you in your USMLE journey?
