hi, is doing an anesthesia observership helpful if i want to try for a residency in that field? i have done all my clinical rotations in US hospitals. and does the program director from the hospital i do my observership at more likely to take me into the program bc i was there doing the obeservership? thanks for your help.

if u have done all ur rotations in us hospitals then u neednt worry. get the lors from the gas attendings u worked with. it has bcome extremely competitive from a few years back when amgs didnt want to do it.. doing a observership will help u to get into that program and a strong lor will help u everywhere. but since u already have so much usce - focus on ur scores and other aspects of ur cv for maximum gains..

i have strong letters of recommendations. but board scores are low. should i take step three in the mean time? should i even do an obsserership in anesthesia at all since ive already done all my rotatoins in us hospitals?

thats my messy ex hostel room.. gets cleaned once every 2 yrs.. used only for sleepin.. thats the left half - the better half.. i live on the right half
aneas is at the same level as categ surg if not slightly higher due to the lesser time required to complete, equal pay, shorter fellowships, lesser malpractice as covered by hospital, much better hours than surg, less headache of followup care.. more and more amgs gunnin for it.. achievable if u have a prior residency and great scores.. also the headache of a prelim yr (esp if u need a h1)
