bearded frog Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Write the USMLEs and do whatever else you need to be eligible, try and build connections with programs/get LORs that will overcome the red flags on your application of YOG and prior training.

What is YOG? I had no redflags- I applied to Anesthesia and ENT and had interviews but did not match to either and I am looking for options to do the training that I enjoy in either field, instead of being stuck in a career that I don't really love for the next 40 years.

bearded frog Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Year of graduation, ie not being a fresh grad is a red flag. Some programs are hesitant to have residents with prior training as well. I'm not saying it's impossible, who knows there might be a small program who likes you, but you're likely going to have to do aggressive networking etc. to overcome these issues as well as the visa requirement. Alternatively you can look into anaesthesia or ER +1s for family which might be an easier route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENT might be a long shot but I think you'll be able to realistically get an anesthesia spot in the USA if you do well on your steps, particularly step 2 now as step 1 has regrettably become pass/fail.
