I am a 3rd year medical always had EM in the back of mind thinking I would do it. Now that I am almost done with my core rotation at a "big name" EM residency and my mind is set. I have been getting really good feedback from the residents and physicians I work with. Many say they don't expect a 3rd year to be at my level, which is not the norm from other rotations I have done (surgery, pads, IM). At this point I would just like some advising from here on out on what to do. I have a great board score, but my grades do not reflect that.
Step 1: 245
Pre-clinical: all passes
3rd year
Surgery: P
Peds: HP
Psych: HP
IM: P
I worked my ass off for the board score, and worked hard for my grades but they seem a little low for someone that can score 245 on step 1. I am not geographically limited at this point (maybe that will change?). I just want to go to a good place to train. What should/can I do from here other then rock my EM rotations I have signed up for? I do not have the background of EMT/Paramedic in college and instead I worked as a nurses aide in nursing homes. I wrote a personal statement for a SLOR from this program and it is a rough draft. WHere should I go to have someone look over that? Any life/career advice from here would be appreciated. I am all in for EM and just want to put the best application out there.
Thanks guys I have been looking at this forum for a long time, but never really contributed to it.
