it is not the previous USA any more. economy is not good. medicare/medicaid is cutting down. residency progmrams have no money. unemployment rates are high among US citizens. if you are not in the USA, has no USCE, need visa, you will hardly get calls. it is this year's reality. dont loss hope but please check other alternative careers also. life is not just residency. good luck

@macuray: they are still taking the same number of people into residency, the seats have neither gone up or down. but do agree that if u dont have any usce or good scores, then the chances of mayching are not very high.

@melasyndrome
alternative career options are a good idea(teaching, MPH, asst./tech...), but from what I see, necessary qualification/certifications are much desired for this;being an MD w/o residency is difficult, either you;re too overqualified for jobs, or don't have the items mentioned above.How is it possible to pay for more training, MPH especially is expensive?...or personally accept jobs that's lesser than what you are capable..cheers and keep on dreaming and reach for the stars!
