thanks billmmmd. congrats on you residency. when did you start your prep? i just started with my reviews hoping to go into the 2008 match. i don't know how i'll be able to finish them in time for that. i'm keeping my fingers crossed. i also work 12 hours/day 3 days a week. i had to give up my per diem job so i could devote more time to this. i bring my baby to a babysitter where he stays there for the whole day. the other day, i studied for like 14 hours. i am really determined to do this. by the way, what review materials did you use? thanks.

ros2, sure we can do that. i also need a lot of motivation. mixing studies and family is really tough but we have to think about the long term goal. if others can do it, then we can also do it. are you preparing again for step 2? are you also aiming for 2008 match?maybe we can be buddies...

Mabuhay!
I completed all the Steps 1,2 CK, and 2CS and have ECFMG certification. I am a graduate of a Manila school from 2005.
I was wondering to all Pinoy grads who didn't finish their internship and only have 50? weeks of clinical clerksip hours . . . are there any states besides California and Texas that are strict with the 72 week requirement.
Since I have already graduated, is there a way to gain USCE experience, which will add to the lack of 22 weeks?
Or Are there states that don't rigidly follow the 72 week requirement.
salamat po.
