年的时间包括residency？
今天听一位朋友（她儿子在美国读医学院）说，考了step1以后3年内就必须要参加
Match，不然就无效了，听了以后非常担心，不知道大家有没有听说这种说法？
这两天正是提交application的时候，祝各位好运！！ |

to pass all USMLE steps within seven years. Several states also have a "10-
year rule" where USMLE scores "expired" if taken ten years ago. So from the
time of taking Step 1, you have at least 9 years or more for the match.

发帖数: 119 | 3 谢谢Eric，看了你给的链接，还有一点不太明白：在residency期间就可以申请license
吗？
我看了对IMG一般要求Postgraduate Training 3年以上才能申请，但如果residency 3
年申请的时候而step1考试已经过期了，这种情况还能够申请license吗？
谢谢！ |

发帖数: 1334 | 4 Most states don't have "expiration" date. Anyway, it's not a good idea to
take so long for the match. With more AMGs come out from medical schools
each year, IMGs should act ASAP. |
