failed with 71 - nachaitanya

[ArchivalUser]

hi, i failed step3 with 71. i did o.k in the office setting and er setting but really screwed up in inpatient care and ccs. i also had a software problem during the 9th ccs case. iam trying to give my second attempt again on aug 16&17 and iam just going to do uw and usmle123 for ccs. will this be enough. i dont think i can fit in crush. if i fail the second time iam thinking of going for j1 visa instead of h1. so if anyone knows any community programs that sponsor j1 for family medicine program please reply. even one will be appreciated, thank you.

thanks for the encouragement 123, no i did not do residency back home. infact iam just a medical school graduate, i donot have any clinical experience................... one more question- will i be able to get a j1 visa with failed step3, i mean what are the chances of getting interviews for family medicine on j1 visa.

Yes step 3 doesnt matter for residency in case of J-1.
They want good step1 and 2 scores.
