Hi, friends, it is a question that has been puzzling me for a long time. A friend of mine's educational background is a little complicated. Her goal and package are as the following:
Goal: 2017 residency in family medicine or physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Steps score: Step 1 220, Step 2 CK 220, Step 2 CS pass, all on first attempt.
Licenses: Licensed occupational therapist and acupuncturist in Florida. Certified wound specialist.
Clinical experiences: Clinical experiences as an occupational therapist and acupuncturist for over 3 years. Wound care experience over 3 years. No other observation or medical experiences.
Research: > 20 publications, mainly clinical studies at international journals including one on Annals of Internal Medicine.
Need H1b visa.
So my questions are:
1. what is her chance in matching in 2017?
2. what should she do to increase her chances of matching besides green card application, observation, and taking Step 3?
Thanks in advance!
