Hi guys,
Long time reader of this subforum, first time poster, need some advice on my situation and before I get started I know I'm in a tough, near impossible spot.
While I would happily do my anaesthetic training in Ireland, I've always dreamed of a US residency.
Currently a 4th year medical student (MS3 - equivalent) with an expected graduation date of May 2022.
I plan to complete my internship in Ireland, will expect to finish that in July 2023.
Step 1 didn't go to plan, timed NBMEs had been consistently in the mid-230s but then on the day I don't know what happened and ended up with 198.
I'm planning to sit Step 2CK this Summer, I know I'm going to need to knock it out of the park if I have any hope of matching.
After I finish my Irish internship, I would be looking to apply to a research post in the USA or a transitional year position.
This means the following year (2024) I would be applying for CA-1/PG-1 positions in the match against applicants with only a pass/fail step 1 score.
Do I have any hope or has my abysmal step one scored left me stuck.
