I am applying for 2009 residency match,my background is
step 1 89 (second attempt)
step 2 92( first attempt)
CS passed (first attempt)
Step 3 83 (first attempt)
Year of graduation 1997
USCE 6 months (in pediatrics and FM)
2 US Lors( in Pediatrics and FM)
Visa EAD
postgraduation in pathology in home country,3 years of work experience after that
looking for pathology and IM residency
My first preference is Pathology but it looks like getting Pathology is competitive for IMGs
My question is I donot have any pathology experience in USA or any US Lor, all my Lors in pathology are from my home country,will it affect my application.
I am trying to get some experience but no luck yet
I am going to apply to all IM programs also,what do you think with my pathology background how easy or difficult to get into IM?
I know I have two negative points 1. my attempt on step 1, 2. year of graduation
Is there any way I can improve my application?
