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?
My only red flag was that I graduated in 2014 and I have 2 years gap of clinical work (Doing a masters in epidemiology and my thesis project is on pediatrics). How much do programs look at that and does it look bad? Is it going to affect my chances of matching?
