You will find a resid. position but not in a prestigious hospital and not in a competitive specialty [like opthalmology, med oncology etc]

as far as i know psych is not too competitive. But you must know that nobody assures you that youīll find that position you are looking for. You can try it!. Just try to not fail anymore in the next steps you do. I think you must change your study methods because they havenīt worked, change your strategy, other books maybe. You could try a kaplan course, perhaps. Thatīs only my opinion.

Make Step 2 your strong foucs now. Prepare very well ofr Step 2 CK and even if you have to spend extra cash but aim high very high. Some programs might "overlook" your Step 1 history and some programs prefer Step 2 CK for their reviewing. Good Luck!
