Hello, so I’ve had a pretty rough time with board exams, maybe a combination of test anxiety and poor life balance skills.
I failed my IM boards three times but passed in 2019.
I took me five times to pass cardiology boards because I could not figure out day 2 and I think test anxiety plus inability to balance life and work. I actually had to leave my job because of the bylaws.
I’ve finally passed and now after all this, I went to credential for a locums job. They denied my credentialing due to the boards failures. Has anybody had this happen to them. They keep saying there is a cardiology shortage but nobody is giving me a chance. I’ve reached out to 20 places, only got 5 interviews. Is it because I’m in Illinois. If anybody has insight or suggestions on how to succeed, I need the help.
