Again, I can't answer for anything else than IM training, since that is where I have been working.
You shouldget some kind of US clinical experience. When was the last time you had any? That's something that all program directors will be looking at.
The publications are good, the scores are good.
USCE isn't mandatory - but it can't hurt either.
Good luck
