- 3rd year DO student with COMLEX 1 score of 480 (no USMLE)
- Failed 1 pre-clinical course
- Took an additional year (spreading out 2nd year courses)
- 1 summer research (poster presentation)
I recently shadowed a couple of PM&R docs in my rotation and loved it. Coming into med school, I was pretty set on FM and IM and remained so until I started my 3rd year.
could see myself doing PM&R as a career but afraid my score and 2 red flags (1 failed course and spreading out 2nd year) will seriously put me at a disadvantage.
I don't plan on taking USMLE since all my practice NBME scores have been less than 200.
How can I better position myself for PM&R and do I even have the slightest chance at PM&R?
