Hello All,

Based on my scenario below, I am asking for your insights for a hypothetical situation:

- Very old graduate (1990)
- MPH with 15+ years of US work experience (epidemiologist, federal employee for ~5 yrs); made some contacts
- Diploma in Cardiology (UK)
- ~20+ US publications (journals/abstracts/posters) in public health arena
- Hypothetical scores (plan to write steps in ~2 yrs): Both Step I & II: (3-digit score: ~235, old 2-digit: ~95+)

My question: Do I have a reasonable chance of getting an IM residency (plan to apply for matching in 2016)?

Thanks in advance.

there is no wrong in trying. go for usmle steps, try to get good scores and apply next year. I hope you are financially stable so go for it. you have a secure job so now you can try. best of luck

Any suggestion, how to start the journey?
