The best two suggestions were PhD project and maybe MSF (doctors without borders). A graduate school research project might be the way to get in anywhere, PhD or Masters. Research science is much more international than medical jobs. I think some research organisations are even doing assistance aimed specifically at Russians fleeing.
My honours supervisor was Colombian and got to Australia as a PhD student then managed to re do his exams do be recognised as a medical doctor.
He should look for researchers who are studying the neurolink stuff he wants to work on and contact them directly via the eMail address in the author contact details on their research papers,
MSF would depend on his reason for avoiding the war. If he is trying to avoid being in a war zone then it might be a bad idea.
Would it be better if only the lesser educated and those with lesser wealth be sent to combat ?
I am sure he could find work in Ukraine.
The doctors in the front in Ukraine army has worked non stop since the start of the war. Support them instead of an Russian.
And if this isa tru story the doctor should go to Ukraine and help the hospitals there. Now Ukraine doctor's help the injured Russian soldiers when they are taken as pow
Why doesn't he try Europe ? I don't know about the situation in the US or canada. But I know that in europe specially the netherlands and germany there is a shortage of medical people. They are getting people in from abroad. I know that since mobilaisaiton some russian doctors have come to the netherlands and to germany to start to become a fully qualified doctor again. For any help or assistance het should contact First the embassy And also directly the minister of health and the nuniversity hospitals of the country he wants to go to
He should contact the Black Brain surgeon in the US. His name was mentioned by another person. IMy intuitive feeling is he will get him in to a top hospital in the United States. Dr Ben Carson.
The US seems to have a shortage of neurosurgeons while the UK has too many!
This is an example of the waste of human capital from Putins decisions. Putin could have used the resources of Russia to build the largest country in the world, but instead he sacrificed his people for his personal agenda. It’s sad. I hope friend finds an opportunity he is looking for and can use his medical training to help people.
If I were Ivan, I think that my first reaction in that situation might have more likely been to go to Kiev and offer myself as a neurosurgeon to the Ukrainian populace. No doubt there'll be plenty of head/brain wounded or damaged people there as a direct result of Russian incursion and thousands of missiles, artillery shootings etc etc.
I'm afraid that I feel little sympathy for Russians – who are not being invaded! I feel great sympathy for Russia's neighbour that it's invading and raping, murdering, and "genociding".
The Russian people have made this happen by a course of choices – by repeatedly electing this ex-KGB monster Putin. There are election, they should have been used to elect someone not seeking to restore the old USSR…
I understand why you left Russia, but your motives were essentially self-centred.
Even so, I find that I like you at a purely personal level, but I'd like you a whole lot more if your transmissions were coming from Ukraine, trying to reverse the propaganda war that's ongoing right now.
My sympathy has to be for the country you're NOT trying to help right now in any way that's clear to me.
I think the U.K. would welcome Dr. Ivan here, as our health service is very badly affected by Covid's after effects. Tell him that please. If he is a full surgeon then he will probably be known to neurosurgery staff here via his published articles that will have been internationally published.
Wishing you well, and be safe. But be safe in Ukraine, give Ukraine your efforts. Please.
Go to organizations like doctors with out borders. They have opportunities and knowledge of contacts.
Why he just doesn't contact people who are working in his field
Please German Translation 👍👋
Believing in a higher being, is called agnostic
400$??? Russia shouldn`t have surgeons left by now…
Average weekly salary for a brain surgeon is 400 usd??? This is unbelievable to me. Not that you’re lying about it because why? but damn. That’s basically minimum wage. I get not being about the money believe me but wow. I bussed tables for the same pay… damn dude. Wtf
Do ivan has long lost family member(granfather or mother) who was other nationality German, Estonian or so on`? He can actualy apply then for citizenship.
I am not in the medical field, but maybe he needs to apply to organizations that will provide networking opportunities. Maybe check out Doctors Without Borders to see which country needs neurosurgeon.
My sister in law is a retired operating nurse and was just talking about Medical Surgical equipment Sales Reps…maybe he should check medical equipment sales jobs. These types of sales reps need to understand new equipment Biomed companies are developing and participate in the operating room to explain to surgeons how the newly developed equipment works and needs to be implanted in a patient.
Just a thought…
You only need a license for clinical medical practice. If you have neurological and technical expertise, you can be employed by private companies to do research and development. This is what I did in neurosurgery. These companies with also sponsor you for a green card in the US.
The breakfast club is good for support. But, I don't hear you talk about how in the meantime, you can discuss how your Breakfast Club can help Ukraine with all the skills you guys have, you could do basic things for Ukraine. You can send medical supplies to Ukraine, or cots and blankets. for winter. I get very upset that you don't mention doing ANYTHING for Ukraine. There are a few organizations run by Russians helping
Ukrainians in Georgia. At least with the little they have, they are helping Ukrainian refygees.
CNN — Dr Sanja Gupta— Neurosurgeon- medical contributor—
Anther thought that might not be so appealing…. I am sure the POWs in Ukraine have different injuries that cause TBI. I know your friend probably does not want to be near the front lines, but Russians being sent to POW camps may need medical treatment for TBI. Having a Russian speaking doctor there might be appreciated by Russian soldiers that have been captured by Ukraine. Maybe one of the You Tube reporters interviewing Russian POWs can refer you to a medical facility that needs help.
Some of the best doctors get their experience from wars. Americans are lucky they are sent away from the frontlines to Germany for some of that….I believe that is what I heard anyway.
As a side note, I know there are Russians that have contributed greatly to research in America and Canada….can’t find my books to tell you their names. What a huge loss for Russia, but a big gain for some other country. Best of luck to Ivan.
Just viewed the “Russians who left are Gold”. Maybe Ivan should get in touch with his classmates and professors from graduate school. They know him best and may be able to get him the network connections he needs, however, God works in mysterious ways…he may think he wants to be in America or someplace like that but I am sure God will lead your friend to where he is needed most.
Best of luck to Ivan. Also kind regards to your mother.
How is this guys english? Speaking and written? If he can do both he can get a work visa here in the US pretty easy. Surgeons are needed here too. Also tell Ivan that there are also private medical companies here that are specializing in research and developement of future prostetics that work and move by being controled by brain implants. This technology will also benefit people that are parallized as well. As hopes are to eventually develope implants along the spinalcord to the brain.. The US is one of the lead developing countries in Neuroscience. Lots of opportunity for your friend.
Konstantin we need that Neurosurgeon in Puerto Rico. We are a territory of the United States..The process to enter here is the same than USA..He may start working here a get the USA surgeons board. Then move to Florida, Texas or any other state he wants..But I am almost sure that once he get an opportunity here in this carribean island he will stay..
Elon Musk's Neuralink project might be a good fit for him. Also, as others have mentioned, in most cases, a valid license isn't needed for research. A job in research would work until he can get a US license to practice.
He sounds like a great candidate for Neuralink. He could just apply directly to the company. What he wants to do, is what they do. He can make direct contact there.
Dear Konstantin. Privet.
I am watching your videos for quite some time now, thank you for everything you have done. I admire you and your work. I love the way you describe Russia, it is the same way i know it. I used to live in Samara for a year and a half, mentality of the people is almost the same as ours, since i live in Slovenia. We used to be ex Yugoslavian republic, so i perfectly understand what you are talking about.
Lets get to the point. My sister is anestesiologist (and she has some more titles i cant even pronounce 🤣🤣🤣) so i know in biggest hospital in Slovenia, Ljubljana UKC, they are in deficit of neurosurgeons. I can always speak with her, i presume "Ivan" will have to confirm his diploma, but why i am writing to you, is the networking… there are many russians in Slovenia… many different kind of people( profession wise) . And i know many of them, i helped them in many different ways. We can say there are some slovenian-russian "breakfast clubs" here… maybe Ivan will come and get help easier here, with help of the people that come from the same environment… lawyers, notariuses, business people, hoteliers, ….. so, if he is interrested, let me know, we can allways try…
P.S. i used to enjoy in russian comedy called Naša Raša.. this story reminds me on Ravšan and Džamšut, two guys with doctorat (i cant remember exactly in what area specifically, art or literature maybe?), but they worked as ordinary workers rebuilding houses in moscow…. sad, but true… Nasa rasa was seeing the future..
Brain Drain.. All the best people are leaving Russia or getting killed in War, Putin has setback Russia by 30 years!!
Why does he want to go to USA????? In that system, even a doctor with EU diploma has to start all over again. He will loose a huge amount of time. Plus with USA diploma he can work only in USA…. It would be much easyer to restart in EU.
You can contact me, my father is professor at University bern in neuroscience. Please get in touch with me im sure they have projects in that direction in switzerland.
The Pareto Principle suggests that 20% of people do most of the work. If these people are fleeing then Russia is certainly going to suffer for years to come as a result of this brain drain.
No amount of blind patriotism will make up for this loss.
** Those in power don't care about people like 'Ivan' because if they needed a brain surgeon they have the money & contacts to go to other countries for help..sounds like 'Ivan' needs to make contact with Elon Musk—who is also interested in the same brain/tech research and has the money & power to help 'Ivan' . He should start making himself known to anyone with a connection to Musk and it is good he has good English. I worked with a woman who was a surgery nurse in her country but in the USA she couldn't get a job in her field because she couldn't lose her heavy accent, which made it hard to understand her English.
This is a country in the act of destroying itself.
I'm so sad for these people.
I did some research into the US hiring of foreign docs. We have a number of foreign docs. HOWEVER, they don't make it easy. They first have to pass three tests: a multiple choice, an essay test and a practice test. Moreover, your brain surgeon may have to go through three years of residency to be sure that his training and experience match that of any US doctor. However, it is doable. I am meeting with a bunch of doctors this Thursday night on a webinar, and I will ask them more about what the requirements are and what , if anything, they can do.
How do I give to the breakfast club for Russians who can’t afford it
Well done ''Ivan''
Konstantine, I have a whole different idea to help. If this catches you, and you feel my ideas will help you please contact me. If it's meant to be, you will see this and know. Ivan is welcome with us in USA.
I am a Canadian and I believe Ivan should be at university of waterloo in Kitchener Ontario. They are a world renowned in computer sciences /cutting edge research. I can get contacts for him if this appeals to him. Canada has a large Russian community that would welcome him.
The Russian Breakfast Club is a genius idea! The best thing you can possibly do in a crisis is network. It's a 1+1=3 situation.
"Ivan's" story is amazing. Sounds like he needs to talk to Neuralink, Elon Musk's company that works on brain machine interfacing.
This man is clearly educated and skilled in neuroscience and medicine but he is uneducated in marketing himself. He needs to sell his skills, not get a lower level skill. Get marketing materials together like a Press Kit with a Bio, CV, Publications List, etc. that show his qualifications. Hire a professional writer to make it. Put it in a nice folder. Then, do research on the Best Medical School-Hospitals. Get names & addresses of the heads of these institutions (M D Anderson, Baylor, John’s Hopkins, Etc.) and send them a personal letter and a kit. He will get a reply. (Forget the computer tester idea.)
Konstantine, you are right. I have contacts with three large medical centers in Texas. I left you a message on Instagram. Elizabeth
Had to comment on one detail of the story. In these days software tester and software developer are pretty much the same. 😉 The skills required depends on what you develop/test.
St. Michael's hospital in Toronto, Toronto Western hospital, Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, he should send his resume to all these hospitals in Canada
I believe there’s a term for this phenomenon in English. It’s called a brain drain. It’s when a country loses many of their educated professionals, researchers, technicians, and teachers because they are emigrating away from war or fascism. I feel so horrible for the people of Russia. An entire generation of highly intelligent and skilled people have left the country either temporarily or permanently. Russian society should value and respect their educated people. That’s the future of Russia!
I really enjoy your streams and lectures! I have learned so much from listening to you while I clean or practice writing in my Russian and hiragana/katakana(Japanese) handwriting workbooks. I could listen to you speak for hours!
I hope your surgeon friend has found help! I cannot believe they only pay brain surgeons $400 a week in Russia!! You can work in retail here in the US and make $400 a week! Surgeons in the US make tons of money. I hope he ends up in Canada. Stay away from the US. We are having our own political crisis here that I don’t see resolving anytime soon.
I met with my physician meeting group and asked about your friend. As for the US. there are two ways. He can apply for a research position and work initially as a researcher . If he gets this, they will get him a visa. However, he can't practice until he meets the following that I will discuss. Now if he wants to practice, he needs to take the USMLE exam that is a three part test: multiple choice, essay and practice questions. This test can be taken in either US or England or Israel. There might be other places where you can take the test. Just search out where you can take it. Once this test is passed, he needs to apply for a residency. For Brain surgery , it is a 5 year residency that your friend has to do again. . A doctor named Kenneth Iserson wrote a book on getting a residency. He should look for this book. Good luck.
