Hello,
I am a 4th yr DO med student who didnt match into general surgery categorical position on monday. Since then i have been calling trying to scramble into a prelim/transition spot but with no success. I am gradually coming to d realization that i will never find a spot. So i am left with a decision to do something else, IM, family med. Well before i succumb to that, i figure i will give one last try.
This is to any military recruiter or anyone with any knowledge of it out there. I will be willing to consider a military spot for prelim surgery if available. My goal is to do surgery, i am open to spending an extra yr for prelim and reapply next yr but all i ask for is a chance. If anyone have any idea abt this process, pls do share. I'll really appreciate it.
My stats:
graduate in may
USMLE1 216
USMLE2 210
COMLEX 1589
COMLEX2 450
COMLEX 2 PE pending
All taken once.
Thanks in advance
