Many predict that 2008 match is going to be by far the toughest for IMGs. Many reasons are responsible for this.There are about 4000-5000 doctors at UK preparing for USMLE.To add to this there will be a significant backlog from this year too.Moreover doctors coming from UK will have upper hand over the others because programs in US give more emphasis to UK clinical experience compared to those from S.E. Asia. For doctors from Nepal for example, scores are going to be very critical as very few will have US clinical experience.(try to get one if u can-its going to work more than anything else).
So think ahead and prepare in time.................2008 match is going to be a tough road for US residency aspitants!
Good luck. |
