Hi Doctors,

I am IMG, Interested in Pathology!
I want some opinion.
I have just finished MD degree and will take step1 in 3monthes.
I am thinking about going into Pathology Phd In my home country for 3years, meanwhile I will get all scores (CK,CS, Step3) and after Phd will apply for Pathology residency.
Is It a good idea, or not?
Will it enhance my chances or should I lower my expectations?

I appreciate your help!
Thank you kindly !
