Hello, Please read and advice. I am an "old" IMG, I graduated from medical school in 1996. I wrote Steps I and II of the USMLE then and passed both the exams but not with good scores. I got married, had two kids, got another post-graduate degree and a job. Fast-forward to the present- i would now like to finish my graduate medical training (residency). I want to rewrite the exams (its been almost 10 years since i wrote Step I). I called the ECFMG and they said I would have to get permission from my state medical board to write the exams again as they are the ones that decide how long the scores are valid. I know some states have a 7-year limit to complete all steps while others observe a 10-year limit. I am in California which has a10-year limit. My question to the members/readers of this forum is this-has anybody been in a similar situation? Where should I start? Please advice.
