Well, there's a comeback for the ages.
I think that says it all for this thread.

And yet, we get an enormous number of irish docs applying to US residencies but little number of US graduates applying to irish residencies....
May I bow and kiss your feet almighty one? I am truly humbled by your devine power. Let us all pray and give thanks for the supreme one who possesses the power to save lives as opposed to us other shmucks who know and do nothing.
Whatever works for you. All I did was respond to the "greater impact" comment from the GP set. You want to drink the primary-care Kool Aid, feel free, but I didn't go to med school to hand out Amoxicillin for runny noses and do cholesterol surveillance.
when you make all these primary care comments please think about your kid/future kid and who's going to take care of them. are you, the neurosurgeon, going to take your kid to a subspecialist or are you going to take your kid to the pediatrician that you're ragging on so much in this thread?
Speaking of matching, How many people drop out of medical school when they find out they didn't do well on their Step 1s and feel like their dreams of certain specialties are shot to $h!t?
No one can answer that because it is a dynamic variable.
People would be $60,000-$100,000 in debt by then. It is logical that they keep trying to pass the exam. Then take any position in any specialty available (i.e. FM).
I did not know that it could be taken more than once.
What I mean is, if someone has an undergrad degree from, say Harvard, and they cannot manage more than an average/subpar score, they have to at some point realize that their medical education they finished so far is a sunk cost and they should look elsewhere for a career if they can't get one of their top few specialties.

That would be like turning gay because you couldn't get a date with the hotties. In both situations, there's always backups.Speaking of matching, How many people drop out of medical school when they find out they didn't do well on their Step 1s and feel like their dreams of certain specialties are shot to $h!t?
