Hey guys,

I am applying for NRMP residency match in pediatrics next year and I am really nervous about my chances.

I graduated from a Canadian medical school in 2014. I am currently doing M.Sc in Epidemiology and I am a principal investigator in 2 research projects which will be completed next year. I don't have any publications.

Step 1- 237, Step 2 CK-233, CS-1st attempt. I am taking Step 3 in 2 months.

All of my electives were done in Canada and my LORs are from Canadian pediatricians.

I will only be applying to programs which give H1b so my choices are very limited (only ~40 of them sponsor H1b).

Are canadian graduates considered equivalent to AMGs or IMGs? What do you think are my chances of matching? Should I back up with Internal Medicine as well? What can I do to increase my chances?
