“I don’t know how to describe in few words about Dr. Madhu. She has been very helpful during my journey from USMLE to residency. I found her in usmle site where she was mentoring a lot of students with her valuable advice. I immediately contacted her. She has been so nice and helpful! I came to know that she is doing fellowship in GI. She has always found time to reply my queries with wonderful tips and her words of assurance despite her tough working schedules. I was surprised to see her being so humble and so genuine!! After I got into residency in internal medicine, I reached out to her again for suggestions relating to my study. Again, Dr. Madhu generously came forward with her wonderful study tips. I really believe that Dr.Madhu is an asset to the community, and a model for others to follow.”

“I am a current PGY-1 in NY, an IMG who applied the last cycle and I was able to seek help from Dr.Vennikandam. Just like every other IMG, I was scared if I could do well on my interviews and was worried about ranking programs. From my very first encounter, Dr.Vennikandam was very personal, relatable, and supportive of my choices, it was evident that she wanted me to grow and see me succeed in the match. She was invested in making sure I ranked the program that aligned with my future goals, helped me figure out ways to put things into perspective, and how to ace my interview with confidence.”

“I easily connected with Dr. Madhu’s magnetic personality! She was so detailed in her guidance and explanations to me. It was so obvious early on that she genuinely cares about her students! Not only were the tutoring sessions with Dr. Madhu enjoyable but educational as well! I highly recommend her for your medical journey!”
