This is unpredictable topic but let me explain my situation.
I am applying residency matching this year.
I had interviews both pathology and primary care (IM & FM).
I am IMG and graduated 18 years ago .
I did internship + pathology residency and worked as pathologist for 8 years in my home country. I did research for 2 years in US.
Now I have to decide my ranking. Since I am old graduate IMG, I would like to match this year to finish residency in US. When I am thinking of ranking, I have some questions about job situation in pathology. I would appreciate for your comment for following issues.
1. What is pathology job situation in Los Angeles area? (no preference among lab, academic or private) I want to have a job after residency in LA area due to my husband job.
2. What is usual retirement age for pathologist?
3. Does my previous experience give any positive effect for job searching?
If you give me any comment, it will help me building my gut feeling .
