I am an MSIII who is very interested in Urology, but I am nervous about my chances of matching this time around. i am an Fmg, but an American citizen, and so far my only exposure to urology has been abroad. I am planning on doing away electives starting in July, but now i am concerned that i should take a year off to do research.
I got a 260 on my step 1, honors in all of my clerkships, except for a high pass in psychiatry, top 5 percent of my class, have research but not specifically in urology with an independent project, an abstract and poster presentation so far, a case report and presentation, and currently trying to work on a small project in urology, but abroad. any advice as to whether i have a shot at matching as an fmg or is it essential that i take a year off to do research?
