Dear lotus69
Usually there is no age restriction for most residency programs but most available residencies for IMG are those which are mostly needed i.e. internal medicine/family medicine/pediatrics/psychiatry. some specialties are very competitive and if you have good scores and good credits you can apply for them. Also, we ourselevs are limited due to our physical abilities, can we still endure long stressful oncall shifts?

Dear zaap
Thank you.

Dear jan2010
For step 1 it all depends how fresh you are in your studies and for step 2 I think depends on your clinical experience. 12 and 8 months seem enough. As my suggestions for scheduling I'll write later as now I am busy


Dear steps09
I did both UW readings timed and subjectwise, only in the last 2 weeks I did 1-2 blocks timed mixed subjects plus reviwing my wrong Questions. I did NBME 6 and 7.
