Hi,
I'm a (soon to be) IMG and plan on applying for Ortho next year.
I'm trying to find out what are my chances (realistically) on getting a residency.
So far, things I've done that I think could help:
- Research in general surgery and ortho.
- Away rotation at very prestigious hospital (in the states - in ortho).
- LOR from attending at previous place.
- USMLE Step 1 240
- USMLE step 2 pending.
Considering these, what other things might I need to do to maximize my chances? Is there much more?
Does anyone here know of ortho residents that are IMGs?
Thank you all!
