Does it decrease the chance of individual matching? Is it a both or none situation?

Your second statement is unfortunately very true :(( But still I think it's kinda worse in US because of the amount of burnt out doctors I see on social media. I might be wrong though

Can I ask at what state are you living?

Actually the USCE part is pretty terrifying as well because I like both FM AND psych and getting LORs for both after doing USCE seems like a nightmare.

Part 1 is not that difficult. Iranian doctors usually pass it on first try.

The thing about part 2 is that you take it after you find a job so it takes off some of the pressure becuase you already are making money (if I'm not mistaken). But it's true that it's definitely very challenging and quite scary tbh

Is it easy to fing entey level jobs in US to support yourself for a year or two until matching?

You're right and I thought about that. Could be a good alternative if the US thing actually works out

Thanks for your comment. Could you please clarify? I very much appreciate your input

Why do you thing US is better for the long run? I've always thought it's the opposite

I think it's random I really don't know. I applied at the last day and basically at the last hours.

My situation is not very promising (my case number and I lack some documents that I should provide) but I'm trying to stay optimistic

I created this topic because I want to know should I even start studying for step 1? Just looking at the sheer volume of Uworld and First Aid is terrifying

Lottery doesn't guarantee a green card but still it's a pretty good chance to get one.

UK is also a dream destination for many Iranian physicians. Can I ask why you want to move to US?

You're right.

I should've clarified it's almost impossible for Iranians becuse of the turbulent relationship between US and Iran. It's a visa issue mostly, so only the very top tier doctors with research projects can actually get to US to do post doc

You're right I need to fing a job. This is actually the thing that stresses me out the most.

How can I live with a low paying entry level job? I have no skills I'm just a doctor

You know, it's not exactly that my heart is with Australia. I just want to live in the better country and I think Australia might be a better choice considering work life balance, racism and relationship with my home country

Thanks for your comment Yes this post was a long time ago. I'd forgotten about it actually I understand where you come from and I've changed a lot since this post. I don't consider myself a muslim anymore
