In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Iván Cuesta, MD. Dr. Cuesta was born and raised in the Dominican Republic (DR) where he attended and graduated from the Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo. He completed his residency in Neurology at Temple University in Philadelphia and his fellowship in Neurologic Critical Care at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Currently, Dr. Cuesta serves as a Neurocritical Care Attending at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital here in the greater Chicago area as well as on faculty at the Rosalind Franklin University Chicago Medical School.

We spoke extensively with Dr. Cuesta about the process he took to match into a US residency. Toward the end of medical school in the DR, his interest in pursuing a US residency was sparked after a rotation in Miami, Florida. We talk about the different hurdles that International Medical Graduates (IMGs) have to overcome to match into a US residency, including obtaining a visa and learning medicine in a new language. Additionally, he gives his advice to others who dream of following a similar path.
