Hello all,
I am one of the few unfortunate people who failed USMLE step I. I am going to retake it with the help of a prep course this winter.
Will I be able to land a general surgery residency despite my retake on step 1 ?
I am sure I will pass the second time, and I am certain that I will pass step II, but I doubt that I will get stellar scores on either. I go to an M.D. school, and have all high pass grades so far on clinical rotations.
I hear that general surg is getting less competitive, and in higher demand. I hope this will increase my chances at getting matched despite my USMLE I debacle. Is this true? any advice/opinions welcome
