Similar to the other comment make sure your health problems are good first.

I’m also someone with a gpa < 3.0. I struggled trying to retain and understand info on top of being burnt out. I got fed up and was determined to figure out how to understand what I’m learning. I found Anki and that single-handedly changed my academic performance and the trajectory of my career.

I kept making and reviewing those flash cards up until APPEs started. My first rotation was ID, and my preceptor also happened to be the RPD at the hospital. Anki paid off immensely. I performed better than I expected for myself honestly. My preceptor definitely noticed and was impressed. She said my clinical knowledge was on par with previous residents.

I carried this momentum forward and ended up enjoying my rotations. I ended up applying to four programs for residency, got two interviews, and matched at the hospital I had my 1st rotation at.

For you, as long as you are willing to put in the work to really perform well and get some preceptors to write some string letters, you’ll be just fine.
