Dear All,
I have been a reader of this forum for a while now and I admit it has changed my perspective of a lot of things I would like to thank you all for that.
Intro: I am an IMG interested in pursuing psychiatry as a career, my credentials:
1 - Step 1 >240, CS passed, CK next july
2 - Currently I am working as a Research fellow, I managed to work on 5 projects, two of them I have presented this year in the APA annual meeting one as a poster and the other as an oral presentation (30 mins talk), I got 5 submitted articles one for final review, no publications yet.
3 - No clinical experience in the US
4 - three psychiatric LOR all from chairs of different institutes two US.
The purpose of my thread is I have been reading the NRMP match report today and surprisingly the number of IMG's that matched this year in psychiatry were around 190 out of 1322 total number of positions, which made me question my chances of at least being invited to an interview? And if you have any further advice for me in preparing my application that would be highly valuable ?
Thank you again
