Hi all...
I have scenario I am unsure about.
I am a DO intern in an ACGME IM program.
I took the COMLEX 1, 2, 2PE and just took 3.
I also took the USMLE 1 & 2CK in med school. However I did not take the Step 2CS.
I am planning on applying for fellowship.
Does anybody know if it's necessary/advisable to take USMLE Step 3 as well to make myself a better fellowship applicant?
The problem is eligibility requirements say passing Step 2CS is required to register for Step 3 (which means another $1k and flying somewhere for the exam)
I have been told taking both sets of exams before residency helped at least get me to interview status last year.
Thanks!
