match

Hello everyone! Since I started to try to learn the Canadian medical residency matching process, i realized something. Everyone in the forums who obviously know how the system works talks really hopeless for IMGs. I mean, before i started to study for the MCCEE, i think i am about to give it up...

If someone has finished PGY1 (Internal Medicine) and has received credits for it but had to drop out of the program in the middle of PGY2 for some reason, is it possible for him/her to apply for a PGY1 position again through the Match, or can he/she ONLY apply for a PGY2 position? Thanks.

Hi All, Are there any Canadians on here who are studying in Australia (maybe University of Sydney) and would like to offer any advice about matching to Canada, the US, or getting an internship in Oz? Thank you!

I emailed a few AF specialty advisers about average STEP 1 scores, number of publications, etc of their matched residency applicants and got a surprising reply from the liaison for orthopedic surgery. I was told that the program director at SAMMC said their avg STEP 1 score was 235, and that...

Hey guys, sorry to add to the deluge of MS4 threads, but as ERAS is closing in, I'd like your input about my list of programs. Specifically, I could use help in stratifying these into Reach/Probable/Safety. I'd also like your completely subjective opinions about these programs. My info: Ms4 at...

I posted my question here earlier but think this is a more appropriate forum. Also the circumstances have changed a bit. I am an IMG and a graduate. I have already passed Step 2 CK & CS. Since the results are due on third Wednesday (not counting the Wednesday of the week the test is taken) if...

Hello all. I am currently a 4th year in New York and I'm in the process of filling out residency applications. Up until a few weeks ago, I was not sure about which specialty to choose. I am still torn between a few, but because I've always been interested in physics, I found radiology may be a...

Hello! I've been thinking about whether or not I will go the MD or DO route and I have pretty much decided that I want to go DO for multiple reasons. However, my future interests are in surgery mostly and I know that DO programs are generally more well known for family practice. Which DO schools...

I got into a discussion about this today. Does the order of your rank order list influence your probability of overall matching vs not matching. I'm talking about a list with all the same programs and therefore number of programs. Does the order you put your programs in affect your chances of...

So since we're getting closer to 2020 with each day that passes, I was wondering if there's an up-to-date list of internal medicine programs that are either dual-accredited or are at least applying for the ACGME accreditation. The AOA website isn't very helpeful. I'm interested in places that...

Hi forum, It's just a few weeks from matching and stress is setting in hard. I'm at a mid-tier US Allopathic med school with below average step scores (210 step 1, 222 step 2) and mostly Bs on my transcript. I took an extra year in school because of a very legitimate health reason (not psych). I...

I have a step 1 222 and comlex I 541 and I'm interested in matching to ACGME diagnostic radiology. Is it necessary that I take the Step II CK or will the Level II CE suffice?

I was wondering if someone who starts in January and does 4 semesters on the island would be able to finish in 3.5 years and make the match, assuming all goes smoothly? ie. If start in January 2017 then match in March 2020 and start residency that July 2020? And if possible, how likely? I...

Hi Guys! I've prematched at Lubbock and A&M and have interviewed at SA, and I am stuck on how to rank these schools. I loved the atmosphere at all 3 and love different things about each one. UTHSCSA: Love the circle curriculum, the location, and having 4 months to study for Step-1. Dislike...
