By the time I will apply for Residency I will be 9 yrs old graduate. All this time I was a stay at home mom. Now that I want to start preparing for steps I am really worried about my chances of finding residency with such a long gap. Is it worth giving a try or I should better start looking for another job. I have no reaserch or job expereince. I have green card.

Dear smt, I know one person who is doing a residency in family practice after being a stay at home mom for 10 years. She is an img. She has been my inspiration and if god willing things go according to plan i plan on getting a residency after 12 years. So my friend it maybe harder to do it but it is not impossible.So work hard and believe in yourself

Thanks for the words of inspiration Dinasaur. May I know from which country and in which year you graduated. Are you located in US?
