My credentials:
Postgraduate years: 16.
Steps scores: low99/low99/pass all on first attempts.
Green card.
US PhD,junior faculty of a tier 2 university.
OB experiences in two private clinics and a hospital, two LORs from private
clinicians are very positive and one from the hospitalist is so-so.
Applied to 70 FM and 113 IM programs this year, applications turned in very
late (from Nov 1 till 15th). Deadlines for most programs applied are from
Nov 30 till Jan.
So far, got 30some rejections and no IV offers. Feel so down and very
disappointed, I would deeply appreciate it if anybody could offer any
suggestion!

你的成绩和经历都不错。
能提的建议不多,考过step3, 明年早点申请。
今年还没完了,还有希望,万一不行,明年一定可以的。

Other than you sent out the package a bit late, everything looks super to me
. :-)
If I were you, I may start making phone calls and writing emails--
especially university based programs.
(I may be wrong, but my feeling is 'lots of guys on the clinical side' do
not like the long publication list of research guys. At the meanwhile, there
are people saying you do not want to come across as a 'loser' in research
and then want to switch career, ect. Hopefully some 'big cows' will show up
to comment on your situation... )

You still have hope. It has been only a few weeks since you sent the package
. Try to calm down. I agree that making phone calls and start to send emails
would be a good idea. Be prepared, IVs might come anytime.

pro: good score, green card
con: long graduation year
PhD & faculty can be both good & bad
so-so: ob and LOR
very bad: Apply so late
IMHO, connection might be the key for you, as you are overqualified for
community even university affiliated programs, and package might not be
strong enough to compete for university based ones, and applying so late
missed majority of the chances. I think in your case, a good connection will
be the way to go. Best

哈。就那你当目标了。所以,come on. 等你好消息了。如果match上了。别忘了过了发

我觉得你的package其实很好。最大的问题是申请晚了,现在绝大部分program面试的位
置已经全部发完,只能希望有人取消,这时有connection是最关键的。内部推荐是最有
效的拿到IV的方式。
我的体会是尽快到有residency 的program做inpatient 的OB,至少一个月。全力以赴
做好,推荐信一定要很强才行。同时把Step 3 也考完。
另外平时多交朋友,互通有无,精神上的支持更是我们能走下去的不可缺少的动力。

"Steps scores: low99/low99/pass all on first attempts."
99 is 99: it's a great score--no need to differiente low99 or high99.
The message is; Be positive at always, my friend! :p
I think you still have great chance, maybe for next year. It is a bit too
late to submit your application after Nov 1....Especially for IM.
Keeps your hope up and never give up!
There is always a way where there is a will~~~~

First thanks for the support y'all!
I really have no connections around me so far, which makes the situation
worse! Now I guess i need to be brave again to harass all the PDs of the
programs applied.

你能用这一年,再弄片文章出来,当然对match也不会有大帮助。但以后做医生的同时
,应该走 physician scientist 的路,自己申请点经费,弄个实验室,多一片文章还
是有好处的。不然咱们读了那么多年的书不是白费了,和那些老印,中国本科生一个档
次了。
你的package,明年申请肯定没问题。今年可能有点晚。

稍安勿躁, 现在回来的据信都是自动发的,要么已经够人了, 要么直接按YOG, 对你
感兴趣的没那么快。
Connection可以从你的research field里找,
感叹一下, research真那么衰了吗? 这哥们做个什么家庭科内科真是屈才了。

I agree with Lexian. Primary care might be the worst choice for you, if at
all. No research is involved in primary care. All you have to do is to take
care of your patients in PC. If I were you, I would feel my life was
inconsistent and I would stand on the same level as those who just graduated
from med school. Years of efforts in research/Ph.D. would be a big waste.

hi bunny2011,
why junior faculty of a tier 2 university is useless?
do you want to quit junior faculty of a tier 2 university?
I think junior faculty of a tier 2 university is a good career to start.

谢大家的鼓励。LG不爱灌水,帮LG update一下。今年看来是没有希望了,一个
interview都没有。也打电话试了好心人告知的刚取消的interview,也发email或电话
和一些program联系了,有的说他们有自己的标准,有的说会以后跟你联系的。但到目
前为止, no good luck。
不知道申请晚了会是这么致命的原因的吗?
目前的打算,先争取三个月内把step 3 考了。
还有一点想征求大家的建议:
关于临床的推荐信,LG还可以继续去去年的两个门诊医生那里,他们上次的推荐信写得
还不错。如果需要再找一封临床推荐信,是继续找这样的observation就够了呢,还是
做一个商业的externship?以前好像看有帖子讨论说externship理论上也是不能动手的
,推荐信也只能so so. 不知道这个对match的帮助有多大,值不值得辞职去做两三个
月的externship.
恳请前辈们指点,bow

Late application may be the main reason this year. For next year, OB, LOR
and PS are important. Try different places for OB, try to know other
physicians, maybe some will like you and make some calls. Also, apply for
path and ped, unless u really dont like them, those are more IMG friendly.
PS gets to be good, have to explain why u give up ur current career for
residency, the reasons get to make sense for american physicians (ask ur OB
physicians for advice on this).
Good luck!
