Hi,
I am an European medical student at his last year of medical school. I want to do surgery in the USA, but the problem is that i was not able to prepare usmle step1 during my university exams and so i will graduate on June of next year without US hands on clinical experience. I know that categorical general surgery position is really competitive.
My questions are:
if i work for 2/3 years as a research fellow and i have big scores in usmle such as 250 could i match into a categorical position? i will do observerships also but i think that don't have the same value of hands on.
do you know any possibilities to do hands on in surgery after medical degree?
