Advice for eventually matching general surgery
Started by premed4456
Do your surgery rotation first, bro. That gives you more insight (yea a lot of it is shadowing still, but) and allows you to connect more with residents and faculty and show off your clinical skills. Then do a Gen Surg sub-I to show off your gen surg chops.
You don't have to report a speeding ticket unless it was reckless driving iirc. I think they explicitly state when they ask about misdemeanors, they don't mean speeding/traffic violations. If they do see it, they won't care, lol.
Yea gen surg is competitive, but I also know people who matched with STEP1 fails, average grades, repeat year, etc. It's also not uncommon for IMGs to match gen surg.
