Hi Docs!
I have aced step 1 and am now studying for CK. A few weeks ago I received an email from ECFMG Reporter that if one wants to mach in 2011 he/she must take CS by december of this year. I can't really understand this and how it relates to me. Let me tell u what I got from this and what I intend to do from now on:
As for as I know from ECFMG Information Booklet the interviews for residency starts after Sept, the peak IVs take place in Nov-Dec. After this the match starts in Jan-Mar of next year and subsequently residency starts in June. Now as they've announced that those IMGs who want to participate the next match (which will obviously in Jan-May 2010) must pass CS by Dec of this year (2010). As I may take my CK by Nov this year and probably CS by April 2011, so hopefully if I pass these two and am ECFMG certified by June-July 2011, then will I be eligible to apply for residency in the Sept 2011 and get IVs in Nov-Dec 2011 and if I succeed and get matched in 2012 and start residency by this same year (2012)? or God forbed that:scared: I won't be eligible and would match in the year 2013?
I am so confused and worry about that!!!:notsure:
