How does a failed step1 affect matching

[@zoyamalik796]

hello ,i graduated in 2017, after that i have doing jobs on and off in pakistan (took 2 long breaks for residency exam). i want to appear in usmle step 1 in may 2023. Can i join this 6 month program? or should i clear usmle part1 first. m currenly jobless (as m living in botswana and not registered here)

Does talking about a particular illness you were diagnosed with in your childhood and completely cured, and subsequent experiences with the neurologist who treated you as a motivation improve my chances of a neurology residency or does exposing an illness even if it is cured make it seem like a red flag and end up jeopardizing my chances instead?

What about supplementary LOR? From research doctor?

[@usmlesarthi2024]

what is a supplementary LOR

[@abhik8259]

Whether paid postdoc research fellowship in Radiology in a US academic institute would be considered as USCE for Radiology residency where some patient exposure also happens? Details: Non-US IMG: YOG: 2012, doing research for 8-9 years+ (last 6 years in the US).

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Yes looks a good experience

[@abhik8259]

@@usmlesarthi2024 so, would it be called as USCE or research experience?

[@maxguarda]

It’s research experience. It’s not USCE. Still a great thing to have, but not the same

Do you need to address a lower Step 2 CK than Step 1? I got a 250 on Step 1 and a 228 on Step 2 CK?

[@usmlesarthi2024]

You can in PS but definitely in interviews

[@noorsabha2402]

I’m an old img, yog- 2017, will be applying next year. I have exactly 1 year. I love neurology. To work on my CV which of the following would you suggest. 1) study for CK as well as do a job like a medscribe at a reputed clinic in the US. Next year do observerships. 2) study for Ck as well as shadow doctors in different specialties till next year. Please suggest which is better for me. And how many research papers should I be publishing?

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Dont add gaps. CK+ Handson+ research- 2 quality pubs atleast

Thank You for another informative video. USMLE sarthi delivers as always. I have a question about match process. Is applicant is done with all USMLE steps 1,2,3 within 5 years , started matching process and did not match within 7 years from first exam, can applicant continue matching process or has to start over again with exams? Thanks ahead.

[@usmlesarthi2024]

Best is to call ECFMG. in your case you may be able to continue without retaking the exams

[@iabezhanidze4592]
