To get into residency,,,lets say a prematch or even good chances of getting a match, you need the following,
1) GOOD SCORES, STEP 1, STEP 2 CK AND CS ALL WITH ECFMG CERTIFICATION
2) APPLICATION ON 1ST SEPT , NO LATER, AS EARLIER IS NOT POSSIBLE
3) HAVE STEP 3 SCORES IF POSSIBLE, TRY AND GET ATLEAST 80 AND ABOVE, ABOVE 90 IF LOWER OTHER SCORES FOR 1 AND CK
4) BUFF UP YOUR RESUME FOR APPLICATION
5) GET OBSERVERSHIP OR EXTERNSHIP IF U ARE AN M4, OR OTHER PAID EXTERNSHIPS IF POSSIBLE ATLEAST FOR 3 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR
6) CLINICAL RESEARCH IS A PLUS AS ALWAYS
7) OTHER RESEARCH WOULD HELP TOO IF U DONT HAVE 5 AND 6
8) THE PURPOSE OF 5,6,7 IS TO GET A VERY GOOD LOR POSSIBLY FROM A UNIVERSITY BASED PRACTISING ATTENDING OR A PRIVATE PHYSICIAN,,,,,,FROM AN AMERICAN ,,,,,,,INDIANS WOULDNT HELP THAT MUCH
9) PUBLICATIONS/POSTERS/RESEARCH AWARDS AND OTHER MERITS ALSO PLAY THEIR FEW CENTS WHEN YOU APPLY FOR RESIDENCY ON YOUR CAF........ESPECIALLY IF THE RESEARCH PUBLICATION OR POSTER IS BASED ON A MAJOR US CALAMITY LIKE 9/11, KATRINA RELIEF, ETC ETC
10) LOTS OF PRAYERS FROM OUR FELLOW APPLICANTS AND A FAITH IN GOD WITHOUT WHICH NOTHING IS POSSIBLE
I PERSONALLY HAVENT BEEN THRU THE MATCH PROCESS UNTIL NOW, THOUGH I APPLIED FOR 07 MATCH BUT DIDNT GET ANY INTERVIEWS...........
THE CORE OF WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY HERE IS IF YOU HAVE FAITH IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING, NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR FAMILY SAYS, JUST KEEPING ON FORGING AHEAD, COZ THERE IS ONLY ONE THING I BELIEVE IN,,,, JUST ONE THING
"YOU DECIDE YOUR OWN SUCCESS AND YOUR OWN FAILURE"
SO IF YOU DONT GIVE UP, TRUST ME, I REPEAT TRUST ME YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WHERE YOU WANTED TO BE BEFORE YOU CAME TO THIS COUNTRY OR TO BE FRANK WHATEVER YOU WANTED BE EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE BORN OR WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN YOUR DESTINY FOR YOU.................
TAKE CARE FRIENDS
ALL THE BEST TO THOSE TAKING THEIR STEP 3 AND THOSE GOING FOR MATCH AND SCRAMBLE
CONGRATS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GOT PREMATCH AND ARE APPLYING FOR THEIR J1 OR H1
I SHALL SEE THE REMAINING OF YOU FELLOWS FOR 2010 MATCH THIS YEAR IN SEPTEMBER.....TILL THEN I SHALL BE HANGING ON IN STEP 3 FORUMS
