Reach Greater Heights
Dr. Sonia Pothraj, MD
Interview & ERAS strategy for International Medical Graduates matching into U.S. residency
The Climb Is Hard. You Don't Have to Do It Alone.
Reach Greater Heights LLC is a residency coaching practice built for International Medical Graduates navigating the U.S. Match. I'm Dr. Sonia Pothraj, MD — a board-certified pediatrician trained at Rice University, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (medical school and residency), and currently a second-year master's candidate in Medical Education at Harvard Medical School.
My clinical experience spans pediatric urgent care, primary care pediatrics, and locum tenens work in underserved communities in the Bronx. I'm currently conducting psychiatry research at Harvard's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and I spent four years as an admissions counselor before building this practice.
Last year, 96% of my International Medical Graduates matched — 54 of them in just four months. Every service is one-on-one, personal, and tailored to your story, because your application should sound like you, at your strongest.
