It would be good to get some insight from you all in my current predicament. I am diligent seeking a PGY 1, Prelim in IM, or PGY1 Fam. I have just completed a 1 year clinical research fellowship in Endocrinology i.e. outpatient Diabetic care and I am looking to beef up resume further , but not sure which option is more valuable. The options are:
1. 1 month externship in US in FM / clinical research fellowship in US for a year (not garuntee/ search for a job in US health care field.
2. 1 Year Prelim Outside of the US that will give me practical Clinical experience/training.
I have dual citizenship for both US and the country where I would potentially do Prelim. There are pros and cons for both situations and time is of the essence to make a decision.
Just to be thorough, I am a US ECFMG post- grad 1.5 years with all boards done except step 3. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
P.S. Ultimately the primary goal is to gain a residency spot in primary care, so if anyone has any assistance in that regards YOU ARE MOST WELCOME! Take care
