I have graduated medical school already since 2002 and in practice since then , I want to re join medical school though to pass hrs year of graduation cut off
Skip ..I have done all that , done with steps , no gaps in cv , worked in jcia accredited hospitals , and have 6 publications . Guess how many interviews I got ? Zero. You know why because if my graduation year ... So I want to do this to be in the eye of program director (( fresh graduate )) now question is if you do that .. And with the above scores / credentials .. Will I have a chance in IM/FM? Thank you
It's going to be transfers student kind of thing .. Only for the clinical rotations .
Well , I don't need visa . I am us citizen now . I am not re doing medical school just last 2 years .. And this will give me a better chance to get residency .. I am open to do residency any where in the states literally any thing within primary care is gold for me .. Any program . But once I apply they filter me out bec of YOG mainly .. So u seeWhat Beth said. You can't re-take the Steps once you've passed to try to get a higher score. It's not like the MCAT or GRE or the like. Plus, if you've already taken the Steps that by default you must already be ECFMG registered. (Which is why it's a little baffling that you've taken Step 3 already, because that means that you have to already have been licensed somewhere in the U.S.)
I think if you've already been practicing, your best bet is to try to contact programs directly, or with the help of an agency, and see if you can get a spot outside the Match. I think you will likely have to take what you can get, especially if you need a visa. Be prepared to have to have to relocate, literally, anywhere in the U.S. that has one open.
I don't think going back to medical school, which is what you are suggesting, is a viable option. Just my $0.02. Take it for what it's worth.

Why you want to go back to school after passing step 3? I don't get that... Why don't you try to get a limited license in state like Florida since you were a practicing physician and already passed step 3... I used to work with a physician that had 'limited' license and he was able to work in county health departments and prisons (jails) in the state of FL ...
Well, the fact that a rude person like you can be some one`s doctor one day scares me. My typo errors are due the fact I chat from my phone and in a hurry as I am currently doing an observership .You should have admired the determination in me to be a practicing physician again and how much I am passionate about medicine .
Sir , since you are a program director , then you must know that applicant 5 years and above applications are filtered out . I came to USA as refugee , now I am green card holder , a physician and an old graduate which is Not my fault , what I am suppose to do ? Work at walmarts. I love being a doctor , I love taking care of people and make them better .
