i have passed steps1 &2 and waiting for step2CS results. I failed csa in jan. Do I need to mention this in CAF ? Also I failed in ! subject during med school but I didnt lose a day because of that as I passed it during supplementary examination. There is a ques in CAF..... "Was your medical education/training extended or interrupted?" What am I supposed top write here.. yes or no? 3. can i write internship done in my med school as work experience. is it ok or is it wrong?

1) you are obligated to mention that you failed in your CAF form. USMLE transcript will show how many times you have taken, failed, incompleted, etc. After completing your ERAS application and before submitting, you are obligated to answer a question which asks if all information is complete and accurate and by law if it is not they can legally black list you from ever getting a residency spot, I wouldn't risk it if I were you. 2)if no extra time was taken, I wouldn't mention it. 3)no. internship is not part of work experience. Did you work outside of your internship?, during medical school? after your internship in a non-educational/residency training workplace?

I was in a 5 and a half year program in India which due to postponements and all turned out to be 7 years. i graduated in about 9.5 years since i had to retake some exams and had other buerrocratic problems. otherwise there were no interruptions as i was enrolled at all times. what should i write?
