I am an IMG with 17 yrs of Ob/Gyn Practice in India, no vis problem.
what r my chances?

spssps, sorry to tell you thi but you are way too late, considering also that you are not ECFMG certified. OBGYN has become very competitive and there are tons of applicants who applied on Sept 2nd, certified (many even with step 3 passed) and with scores better than yours and guess waht, they stil have no IVs. I honestly thinkl you should be preparing for next year's match by improving your credentials as much as possible: USCE, US Lors, Step 3, etc

No haven't heard about the things you mentioned. But then, I havent started digging for info about the program yet. Concentrating on my Step 3 next week right now.
spssps
Im sorry to say this, but I honestly believe you are way too late my dear...
Those of us who applied on Sept 2 still haven't heard from most of the programs.. and they have to wade through all the people who applied between Sept 2 and the date you applied before they read your application. In the meantime, there are a lot of 99,99 recent grads out there w/ tons of USCE (no, not me..)

hello OBGYN appliacants . I am not applying this yr but i would just like to know what you all feel about enormous Malpractise insurance (as i heard every OBGYN gets sued at some point in their life )..long work hours less pay in this field . I love OBGYN yet i get doubts when ppl mention these drawbacks . Please share your thoughts .

sarah, you are right. the malpractice insurance is outrages. what makes it worse is the more lawsuit in your hand, the higher it malpractice cost. many left the field and go into other specialties. thas is the reason I applied to psychiatry and oby, but hoping to get into psychiatry.
