Implications of Failing Step 1

Hello,

I recently found out that I failed my USMLE Step 1 exam.

I am a US MD student at a T50 medical school.

I am interested in pursuing internal medicine and am very concerned about the implications this has for my matching capabilities.

This was my first setback/red flag in medical school (passed M1 and M2 year successfully, had great clinical rotation grades/comments, involved with good research projects and had great ECs as well).

Any advice, especially for those that are in IM residency programs, will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
