Im an Indian Medical Graduate. I graduated in 2010 march. Im starting writing STEPS now. Im interested in OBGYN residency. But i hear people telling me that OBGY for IMGs is not possible. IS it true? what are the chances of gettin a research or externship? I need OBGY residency. Is it possible to get it? What would be the requirements for that?

Obgyn is one of the least desirable residencies. Go to a place you don't want to be. Go to a place that didnt fill. You will be with people that wanted to be surgeons but couldn't cut it. At least you'll be a doctor in the states... In the highest risk lowest reward field we have. The most vulnerable to litigation, and what should be the most fulfilling field we have (bringing new life into the world, keeping half our population healthy).
