I am a OMS -III that is interested in EM for sure. I had previous experience working in an ER before med school and so far this year I am still wanting to become an EM doc.
I took the comlex level 1 only and got a 515. I know that is not a great score and so close to average that it pretty much is average. I have a wife and daughter so trying to go back to prepare again for step 1 seems unpractical at this point. My current plan is to take comlex level II AND USMLE step 2 in early August 2016 then apply.
I guess my main question is: If I have a 515 on level 1 and a decent score on on step II (225-240), is that enough to get me interviews and match in ACGME programs?
Most of the programs I have been looking at is in Tx, Oh, and Ga. Maybe Michigan.
I am trying to get my plan worked out now so that I can actually implement it in time to do well. I would appreciate any input from people who have already done or are doing what is coming my way soon.
