A foreign medical graduate, Sara, with her unique study material, is helping the likes of her pass the exam conducted by the MCI to be able to practice as doctors in the country.

Sara was born and raised in Oman. She did her MBBS from the Philippines. In 2020, for the first time, she came to India.

Sara shares that, in India, to be able to practice as a doctor, foreign medical graduates have to pass an exam which is conducted by the MCI. She too appeared for the exam when she moved to India and cleared her exam in the first attempt with 189 score. That’s when she came up with the idea of helping her fellow foreign medical graduates pass the exam. She created a Telegram channel and started posting the questions relevant to the exam there. Soon, the channel grew in popularity and many medical graduates and doctors subscribed to it. And what started as a Telegram channel later took the shape of a proper enterprise and today offices of the same are present in Delhi, Calicut, and Hyderabad, Sara says.

Reviewing her COVID experience, Sara says that, during the pandemic, she got stuck in Delhi as she had just moved to India and her parents were in Oman. She had no job in India and her parents also could not send her any help due to the pandemic. However, she says that Dr. Ashish helped her a lot in her studies at that time, and with his support, she was able to pass the exam that she had earlier failed in. And, passing the exam enabled her to practice as a doctor in India and thus earn a living for herself.  Besides, she says that during the pandemic only, she started her Telegram channel named Integrated Learning.

Talking about struggles in her life, Sara says that she had to face many challenges in life. But she says that those tough times taught her to keep working toward her goals relentlessly to be able to achieve them.

When asked about her role models, Sara says that her mother, who raised her to always be strong, is her role model. Besides, Dr. Ashish whom she met in Delhi when she came to India is also her role model.

To people, Sara advises them to do their work sincerely and never to run after money. Besides, she advises them to keep learning new things. Furthermore, she advises them to take criticism constructively and embrace teamwork.

In her spare time, Sara likes to take her dog out on a walk and read books. Besides, she likes to go on long drives when she is stressed out.
