Our coordinator, Karine Albuquerque is in Houston, Texas, for Plastic Surgery The Meeting (PSTM 2026), where she presented three abstracts: two oral presentations and one poster! 🇺🇸

She also received the Arthur L. Garnes Society PSTM Travel Scholarship, being selected as one of only six recipients among 21 applicants!

Karine recently earned her medical degree and Master’s degree from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto (FMUP), Portugal, and is building her career in plastic and reconstructive surgery, combining clinical aspirations with a strong commitment to research.

We are incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished, Karine! Congratulations on this fantastic achievement, and we can’t wait to see what comes next! 👏

Everyone prepares to be evaluated, very few prepare to be remembered.

Your US residency application may include strong USMLE scores, first-author publications, clinical rotations, and letters of recommendation. But these are not always what make an interviewer remember you.

What makes the difference is your story.

A compelling residency interview connects three elements:

→ Your past: The experiences that shaped you and the interests you have pursued.
→ Your future: The physician and researcher you aspire to become.
→ The bridge: Why that specific residency program is the right place to connect your experiences with your goals.

The most memorable applicants don’t just list their achievements. They show how those experiences have shaped their ambitions and why their next step makes sense.

But there’s one important condition: your story must be authentic. You cannot manufacture a passion or sustain an interest that isn’t grounded in your experiences. Interviewers will ask follow-up questions, and genuine commitment is difficult to fake.

And yes, strong scores, meaningful research, and solid clinical experience still matter. The goal isn’t to replace them, but to give them meaning.

Meet Dr. Allan Polverini 🚀

From the operating room to collaborative research, Dr. Polverini brings together surgical expertise, academic leadership, and a commitment to evidence-based neurosurgery.

He completed medical school and neurosurgical training at São Francisco University in Brazil, followed by advanced training in neurosurgical oncology at Hospital de Amor in Barretos. Since joining its neurosurgical oncology team in 2014, he has progressed to become Head of the Department, combining clinical practice with research, teaching, and surgical training.

His international fellowships in Montpellier, France, with Professor Hugues Duffau, a pioneer in brain mapping, and in Dresden, Germany, helped shape his expertise in glioma surgery. He also helped bring awake surgery and functional mapping to his institution. Beyond his surgical training, he holds an MSc in Oncology, with research focused on glioblastoma, and an MBA in Healthcare Management from Fundação Getulio Vargas.

At Meta-Analysis Academy, Dr. Allan leads the Neurosurgery Specialists Network and an Expert group, supporting students in developing clinically relevant research questions and turning them into collaborative research projects.

“Research methodology and evidence-based medicine are essential to critically evaluate surgical practice and make better-informed decisions with patients.”

How many publications did Non-U.S. IMGs who matched in 2026 have on average?

Every year, the N**P releases its Match Data, offering valuable insights into the latest residency Match cycle.

This year, the average number of publications across specialties appears to have decreased. One possible explanation is the changes to ERAS reporting, which may encourage a more meaningful representation of applicants’ research experiences rather than a focus on publication volume alone.

Because research is about more than numbers.

Having dozens of publications on your CV doesn’t necessarily mean you have meaningful research experience.

If you list a paper on your CV, you should be prepared to discuss:

🔹 The research question and its clinical relevance
🔹 The methodology and study design
🔹 The main findings, limitations, and implications
🔹 Your specific contribution to the project

These are exactly the kinds of topics that may come up during your residency interviews.

The goal isn’t simply to publish more. It’s to build meaningful research experiencie.

Meet Dr. Silviane Melo 🩺

“In the operating room, I treated one patient at a time. Through research, I could influence the care of thousands.”

Dr. Silviane Melo graduated from Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública in 2010 and completed her General Surgery training at Hospital das Clínicas, Federal University of Bahia. She spent years working in operating rooms and surgical ICUs across Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, gaining experience in general surgery, trauma, and surgical critical care while mentoring the next generation of surgeons.

In 2018, she moved to the United States and embraced a new role: becoming a learner again.

At Meta-Analysis Academy, she developed the skills to frame meaningful research questions, critically appraise evidence, and understand what the data can — and cannot — tell us. Through projects spanning multiple specialties, she built a strong foundation in evidence synthesis.

Today, Dr. Silviane is certified by MAPS across all seven Medical Affairs competency domains and leads systematic reviews and meta-analyses in surgery, trauma, and surgical critical care.

“Good evidence changes practice, and in my case, it changed mine too.”

Her journey is a powerful reminder that clinical experience and research can complement each other, helping physicians turn the questions they encounter in practice into evidence that can improve patient care.

Straight from ESC 2026 in Munich 🇩🇪

Dr. Juliana Giorgi, cardiologist and Meta-Analysis Academy Expert, sat down with Dhananjayan, a final-year medical student in the UK, to discuss his meta-analysis on transcatheter interventions for tricuspid valve disease in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.

His journey is inspiring: ACC, a rotation at Mount Sinai, ESC, and AHA coming up next! 🚀

Behind this project is a team effort, with Dr. Mrunalini, one of our Experts, as senior author and Pedro, a Meta-Analysis Academy alumnus, contributing to the Bayesian analysis.

And the research idea? It came from an Expert, showing how the right guidance can make a difference in turning a research question into a project presented on an international stage.

👉 Our Experts Program is now open! Sometimes, the difference between having a research idea and turning it into a successful project is having the right mentor by your side. Through the Experts Program, you can connect with experienced physicians and researchers, develop your ideas, and collaborate on meaningful research.

This past weekend, we had the privilege of being part of the World Congress of Cardiology, held alongside the 81st Brazilian Congress of Cardiology.

We were incredibly proud to see so many Meta-Analysis Academy students representing our community and presenting their research at one of the major events in cardiology. Seeing our students share their work and connect with the scientific community made this experience even more special!

Beyond the scientific sessions, congresses like these are valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge, build connections with physicians and researchers, and bring evidence-based medicine to an international stage.

Congratulations to everyone who represented Meta-Analysis Academy at the World Congress of Cardiology. We are incredibly proud of you!

She once thought residency in the US was impossible.
During medical school in Brazil, Lara Almeidinha started seeing stories of IMGs who had made the USMLE pathway work, and for the first time, the US felt within reach.

When interview season came, she knew communication could set her apart. So instead of relying on a couple of mock interviews, she studied the skill itself. She matched into Internal Medicine at Rochester General Hospital, NY.
Along the way, she never stopped teaching, trom her EKG cluk in medical school to clinical reasoning sessions in residency.

Today, she is a Chief Resident and hospitalist preparing for Cardiology fellowship.

She once thought residency in the US was impossible.

During medical school in Brazil, Lara Almeidinha started seeing stories of IMGs who had made the USMLE pathway work, and for the first time, the US felt within reach.

When interview season came, she knew communication could set her apart. So instead of relying on a couple of mock interviews, she studied the skill itself. She matched into Internal Medicine at Rochester General Hospital, NY.
Along the way, she never stopped teaching, from her EKG club in medical school to clinical reasoning sessions in residency.

As a PGY-2, she received the Excellence in Hospital Medicine Award, and years of being reliable, curious and fully committed in every rotation led to her next milestone: Chief Resident.

Today, she is a Chief Resident and hospitalist preparing for Cardiology fellowship.

Join our LIVE with Lara on Sunday, October 11, at 3 PM ET / 4 PM Brasilia and bring your questions about interviews, the Match and building a career in the US as an IMG.
