Hey
I am a british medical student studying at university college london. I am in year 5 of a 6 year programme and just recently done step 1 usmle. I got a 241/99. I understand that this isnt an outstanding score, but is decent. I am interested in working in america, because family reasons (im a green card holder).
I would like to match in a IM programme in the northeast, california, houston/chicago/atlanta. So i was wondering what kind of hospitals would be realistic targets. I know there is no way I will match a somewhere like JHU, Upenn, Standford, UCSF...but I would like to match at place that would give me a great shot at a hematology or endocrine fellowship.
Assuming I do similarly in step 2, do some research ( alot available at my university) and electives in US. What kind of places can I realisticly match at?
thanks
