hi!
i'm an IMG and hoping to get matched in OB prog this 2008. my USMLE scores are 88/85 (first attempt) and scheduled to take CS on Sept. 21, I graduated from medical school in 2006, with no US clinical experience, nor publications. i became a research assistant in Urology for a few months and moonlighted as retainer physician in various HMOs in my home country but not exactly Ob-related.
what do you think are my chances of getting matched?
how many programs do i need to apply to? so far i;ve got 26 on my list (those who don't require USCE and ECGMG upon application)
i plan to apply to FM as back-up, do you think i should let go of my hopes of getting into an OB prog and pursue FM instead, given my situation???
thanks so much in advance!!!
