Hello,
I am a med student from mumbai just finished my 2nd yr MBBS and awaiting results.
I am planning to give USMLE, but m too confused when to start with it n which step to give first? I wish to do my residency in IM in first place and my second choice would be surgery (since I've heard that Indians do not get surgery in residency, is that true?).
Is research work for USMLE a must? I missed the icmr research opportunity this year n wont be getting it anymore. Is that a point to worry about or is there some alternative to it?
I do have a rough idea about all the steps of usmle, books to be referred for it, but really didn't understand about electives. would appreciate any reliable opinion and help for the same.
please do reply asap...
thank you.
