Greetings,

This post is not to cause any anxiety but to open the eyes of some of you that, like I was, are not aware of the requisites for the whole process. The exams are not the most important thing, since recomendation letters from american faculty, hand-on-patient medical experience in american hospital, as well as your school documents are all assesed.

I recomend to start to get informed about externership/observerships possibilities, and about the entire matching process, especially if you intend to apply soon to the match. I'm having a hard time trying to obtain a recomendation letter which are very tough to get.



Peace!!

smiling face Hi !!! Right now, is not a very good time to expect a detailed answer I guess, when the whole forum world is busy with MATCH and SCRAMBLE. Perhaps you could invest some time in 2 books which I would recommend- FIRST AID FOR MATCH and 101 BIGGEST MISTAKES OF MATCH! It will definitely help you to a good extent. Good luck!!
