matching into family medicine

[Usmle_Seeker2020]

Dear Physicians/ Medical students,

I'm a recent Caribbean medical graduate( US citizen) with low step scores ( both step 1 and 2). both scores lie in the range of 210 to 220. I would like to know " is it more possible to match into family medicine or internal medicine? what is the specialty I should put my effort into?.


Thank you,

Thank you,

FM is easier. Why didn’t you try to match before graduating?

Thank you for the reply. I wasn’t done with my steps yet. Do you recommend something specific ( to improve my chances ) that I should work on until I apply for the 2022 match.

What clinical work are you doing?

I'm not doing any clinical work for now, I was thinking maybe I should get myself into a paid or non paid research position. I did only one month of clinical trial research when I was a student.
