Medical Students / Residents Career Counseling
At Bliss Sleep and Psychiatry, we support medical students and residents through comprehensive career counseling. We have a team of expert professionals across various fields who can help you navigate the many stages of a career in medicine. This is a resource I wish I had when I was a medical student, and it is important to me to extend these services to those seeking guidance, encouragement, and direction.
Our guest lecturers generously dedicate their time and expertise to help students and residents succeed. In addition, there will be periodic one-on-one sessions with Dr. Arjyal and Dr. Arjyal will be available via email for individualized support during a designated period.
Our goal is to provide mentorship, clarity, and practical tools to help you build a meaningful and successful medical career.
International Medical Graduate (IMG) Program
Supporting International Medical Graduates (IMGs) is one of my highest priorities, as I deeply understand the challenges of this journey.
I came to the United States as an IMG and personally navigated every step of preparing for medical licensing exams, finding clinical rotations, writing personal statements, and learning the nuances of the U.S. medical system often without structured guidance.
In academia, I served on several committees, including residency selection committees, where I worked closely with residency applications and personal statements. This experience has given me valuable insight into what programs seek and how applicants can present themselves most effectively. I bring this expertise directly into my coaching sessions with IMGs, helping them prepare with strategy, confidence, and purpose.
At Sleep and Psychiatry, we offer a comprehensive, formal IMG program designed to support you through every essential step, including:
- Tailored orientation for IMGs
- Preparation for USMLE and other licensing exams
- Personal statement development
- Interview coaching and mock interview sessions
- Direct one-on-one sessions with Dr. Aryal
- Clinical rotation placement
- A letter of recommendation (if earned), provided at the discretion of the team
IMG Program Package Includes:
- 1-hour one-on-one session with Dr. Aryal
- 30-minute follow-up or Q&A session
- Five weeks of interview preparation and personal statement support
- Clinical rotation experience
- Letter of recommendation, based on performance and evaluation
This program provides the structured guidance, mentorship, and professional insight that many IMGs wish they had when beginning their journey in the United States.
Mental Wellness Program
Our Mental Wellness Program is designed to educate therapists, healthcare professionals, and individuals from various fields who are passionate about understanding mental illness and sleep disorders. The goal is to increase awareness, deepen knowledge, and empower participants to better support individuals who may be experiencing mental health or sleep-related challenges.
This program is educational in nature and is not intended to replace professional medical judgment, diagnosis, or treatment. Participants are strongly encouraged to continue consulting their physicians or licensed healthcare providers for any clinical concerns.
Through structured sessions, we explore a broad range of mental health and sleep-related topics, offering accessible, evidence-based information to promote public awareness. This program is meant to support learning, strengthen foundational understanding, and foster a more informed community.
