Hi all, This is my first USMLE match interaction, so I have no Idea what to expect. This is my profile.
Step 1: 249
Step 2: 264
Step 2 CS : passed. (1st attempt)
Grad Year : 2013.
Step 3 : TBD
I was essentially my great uncle’s carer for the past 5 and a bit years and he passed away last year. I was encouraged by my uncle in the US to apply for residency (not a med professional).
I literally have no work experience except for a stint at Doctors without borders for 6 months in 2013 (Sudan).
I intend on either majoring in palliative care or Anesthesiology.
I have some Personal statement and a couple of recommendations from my college and DWB days.
-
Is there any point in even applying for residency this year?
-
Should I focus on working for a few months and then apply next cycle?
-
Other suggestions are welcome thanks!
EDIT : Applied to 60 Programs last year (Anesthesiology and Internal Medicine) and got zero Interview calls. Had no Idea about any of the requirements, Just a blind apply.
