Help needed for Old grad

[res-2007]

Members don't see this ad.

I'm having problems finding places that I can apply to.
I'm FMG and 14 year graduate, No USCE, ECFMG Certified, US citizen.
Scores: 90/90/pass, all first attempts.

Took part in the 2006 match. Did not get a single interview.

I'm slowly working my way through contacting PDs in every program in every state.

Most of the programs I have contacted so far have graduation cutoff dates of 3, 5 and 10 years.

Does anyone know of an old grad like me who was accepted in Psych or know the name of program(s) that accept old grads.

By old grad I mean one thing: a graduation date of more than 10 years!

Unfortunately you're going to have to call each program. Many US programs only allow a 10 year hiatus after finishing med school. Good luck though! Hopefully something will pop up.

You can transfer as a 4th year in a carib med school and repeat 4th year and have a recent MD with USCE.
GMCgroup does that I've heard.
I would use it as an absolute last resort, but it may help if nothing else works.

Or, try dating a program director. Other than that it looks a tad grim.

I know of many "old" grads in community based programs and even in some university programs.

For those who are many years out of school or no USCE, DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. You have an uphill track ahead of you, but just because you haven't taken the turnpike, it doesn't mean you can't get there by some back road. How much do you want it? Volunteer. Widen your horizon. Go in person to facilities that would appear to need help and present yourself as willing and able to do "scut" work. Once you've made yourself known as being a hard worker, you may be amazed at the doors that open. This is a big country and there are many places in it where doctors of all kinds are scarce. Be tenacious and work hard. Good luck. 👍
