Drminga,
I know what you are going through. Im sailing in the same boat. Keep hope alive , be positive and start working on the scramble application. Hopefullly something will come up.
I dont know if this will help you but Ive been reading books on success, and self help; helps keep the spirits up and learn new tips in life.
Wish you all the best. keep me in your prayers too.

drminga,
I am currently reading a book by T.D. Jakes reposition yourself, living life without limits. He is a pastor. I dont mind reading his books as I do beleive in faith.
I dont know if youve read Steven covey's books 7 habits of highly effective people. To keep yourself busy you can earn CME'S by registering at emedicine or medscape.


Regarding the scramble. Im googling and finding alot of info on it. But first read the basics from the NRMP and ECFMG. Then move on from there. But your right it does seem hard but we shouldnt give up. The links cant be added here unfortunately.
Ps. my email is mysam4mle we could compare ideas.
best of luck

hi, mysam,

this is drminga from usmle forum. thanks for your encouragement. i hope i will walk out of this depression sooner. as far as post-match scramle. i dont have any experience but heard from my friends that it s very hard. dont know if you have any good ideas. i assume we should have a fax machine and two phone lines ready.

good luck in your match

Have you trid an observership in hospitals or maybe some rotations? Maybe that can help get your foot in the door and maybe a prematch I wish the best for you.
