Doc_new I masters one technique and than collaborated with other researchers . By this way I did some work for them and they put my name on papers. Tricky but possible if you are working in Harvard.

Congrats Dr.Pathpath, your determination is inspiring!!!
Im only interested in Pathology and will apply for the 2018 Match. Would you mind sharing me some informations about your USCE and externship? my email ibench85lbs

My credentials: step 1 low 230s/ CK planned next month/ CS 1st attempt/YOG 2011/US-citizen.
No USCE, No research, Obviously a blank page. Did Surgery intern home country, 4 years gap working in trucking industry. Hopelessly finding a way to cover my gap as well as the changing in interest.
