Hey Guys, I have some concern which is eating me up from inside and I know I might get many negative comments here but I need help. So my story is-
I am an IMG with average scores 220 in both steps and passed my step3. I went unmatched last year and I have always been very passionate about Internal medicine and worked very hard for it. This year I had 7 interviews - 6 in IM and 1 in FM. I have put FM in the end. I got the greatest news in my life when I got to know that I matched. I was eagerly waiting where I did on friday where I got to know that I matched in my last option that is in Family Medicine. All my excitement was short lived as suddenly I got in terms with reality that I cant practice my passion that is IM. My family members are very happy that I matched and they were saying what if this was missed, I would have been unmatched. I want to accept my reality but somewhere down my heart still a bit sad that now my path is different. I need some help from you all regarding this aspect. I know I should be grateful to GOD but my passion for IM is just not dying.
