Hello,
I graduated from a HYPS university and, for personal reasons, attended medical school in South Korea.
Now, I am considering coming back to the US for residency.
I understand that it's never that easy for FMGs to match into a US residency. I have following two questions:
2) I understand the two main things I have to do is to take the USMLE and gain 4 weeks (?) of clinical experience in the form of clerkship or subinternship. Is there anything else that I should prepare in advance for the transition?
Thank you so much for your help.

I understand that it's never that easy for FMGs to match into a US residency. I have following two questions:
- Since I am US citizen with complete fluency of the language and essentially only went abroad for medical school, would that confer some advantage over other FMGs when it comes to matching?
