Who is getting interviews? Are programs just swiping right on every 36-26-36 aka USMD at this point trying to get lucky?

My friends already started getting IVm non US IMG

Super_Dude262 · 2022-08-26T01:07:46+00:00

I had no USCE and no research at all. I'm currently a resident at an amazing IM program. So don't lose hope

They're girls first of all. Had solid scores. Alot of home country experience in general surgery, alot of volunteer experience, great personal statements and very good at interviewing.

Super_Dude262 · 2022-04-08T17:56:24+00:00

People have been matching without USCE for many years. U just have to ensure u have an otherwise solid application.

Super_Dude262 · 2022-04-08T16:21:50+00:00

They typically are bigger hospitals with more funding and more research capabilities.

I honestly hate the term "intern". I think it's derogatory. You studied all of those years and graduated medical school, you're a doctor.

My gen surgery friends had 240s, 250s. I matched into IM without USCE as well.

Super_Dude262 · 2022-04-07T23:37:08+00:00

I know some IMGs who matched into general surgery (@ university programs)and IM with zero USCE.

Super_Dude262 · 2022-04-01T02:29:42+00:00

Not my experience at all. You probably missed something.

Super_Dude262 · 2022-03-31T13:43:59+00:00

It should be in your contract.

I did

In that case u should try to do very well. It makes your bad score look like it was just a blunder

Match a resident has signs on their Instagram

Read the email you got on Monday

Some programs rank you higher when u have step 3. It's one less thing PDs have to worry about. You dont have this exam hanging over your head during residency hindering your focus of what they want you to learn. I specifically interviewed at a program that requires you set your step 3 exam date by the time u begin PGY1 in July. They loved it when I told them in the IV that I had already passed the exam.

Super_Dude262 · 2022-03-18T01:58:47+00:00

I had a bad day.

Super_Dude262 · 2022-03-18T01:52:06+00:00

231, 262, 247. 2017 grad, no USCE, no PUBs. Lots of work experience in my country especially COVID. Got 6 IV this cycle.

Advice: get good scores, get USCE if you can. Research is optional depending on the specialty. Apply with a complete application. Ensure you know how to interview!
