·I know that it sounds crazy for an old IMG to apply for California letter as it is extremely difficult to get a match for fresh IMGs let alone old IMGs. But I still want to do it as I have really good connections in California and they promised me an interview if I get the letter.
So I called the California Medical Board this morning and asked them what are the requirements and they told me that I have to have passed both Step 1 and CK and no need for CS.
The problem is that I passed Step 1 and CS only so far and am not gonna pass CK until August by then if I apply the California letter will not be available during the ciritical match period because as you know it takes at least 6 months for the PTAL to be ready from the time of application.
Do you have any suggestions for me, Did anyone of you experienced a similar situation? I'll highly appreciate your input.
