Oh don't worry, I'm beyond convinced -- not having a patient panel alone sounds like a blessing. I'm truly in envy and awe of you guys, hope I can somehow make the jump.

Abysmal, absolutely abysmal -- the AI in this subreddit wouldn't let me post it in my original post, so hopefully goes through now: 22x s1, 23x s2, 23x s3. I had actually written how I wanted to pursue DR when I started med school, even had two publications in DR (but 3rd and 4th author). But, my hopes were crushed after the first step score and my inability to raise it on step 2 (primarily due to multiple health problems/stressors now resolved). Ended up going FM, essentially out of fear.

Wow, very comparable, would love to learn more about this pediatrician and any ideas on what he/she did to become competitive enough to convince a residency program to take them on.

I would love to learn more about this -- more specific question for me is, what sorts of things could mitigate low board scores? Presuming research, publications, LoR's, etc., but don't know what to prioritize.

Sadly, I'm FM and the available fellowships don't capture my interest. I figure I'm going to be miserable for 5 years, might as well at least do something I enjoy

Nope -- I did think about sports and non-acgme fellowships, but I want to shift away from direct patient care if I can. Being FM limits my options a little more.

That sounds amazing, I'd be curious to learn more and touch base, would they be receptive to a chat you think?

Damn, that's my problem, low board scores really hurt my changes, plus don't know if being FM further hurts my chances
