Dr. Kimbong earned his medical degree from the University of Yaounde I in Cameroon in 2014. He then practiced as a general physician for two years there, before he was inspired by a few colleagues and mentors to pursue residency in the US.

He currently serves as an Internal Medicine Hospitalist at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

Here are some of the highlights of his USMLE journey:

🔹 Dr. Kimbong prepared for Step 1 in Cameroon and then wrote it in Accra Ghana.
🔹He studied independently and did not take any courses such as Kaplan.
🔹He had a study partner to help hold him accountable.
🔹He finally scored 240 in Step 1.

How did Dr. Kimbong manage his residency application?
🔹 He had only two months to prepare, as he came to the US shortly after completing his MPH program in Europe.
🔹 Fortunately, he had already taken all of the USMLE steps.
🔹 He then realized that step scores are just one part of the application packet and that networking is essential!
