Hey y'all, I have to make a decision about this program soon and need some advice.
I have the opportunity to graduate med school in 3 years and be guaranteed a spot in the local community internal medicine residency as long as I pass Step 1 & 2. I truly do love my school and the city, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to explore the country a bit.
They told me that applying outside is fine and that the residency would rank me to match no matter what. My main concern right now is I would have to take Step 1 & 2 back to back in the summer after MS2, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to do well after only doing a few months of my rotations.
To hose of you who did accelerated programs, were they worth it? I'm also kind of considering a fellowship, so would graduating in 3 years hurt my chances at a fellowship?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
