Hi Kids:
Alright, Here is the lowdown. I have been dreaming and working for a dermatology career for about 5 years now. I am a 3rd year medical student and before medical school worked for a NYC derm for 2 years.
I worked my butt off in med school and unfortunately wound up a High Pass student with only 60 points above the national mean on the Comlex (DO) boards and a 200 on the USLME step one.
I have 5 publications, a summer bench project, a poster presentation, as well as the 2 years work experience. I have great letters of rec from reputable staff at NYU.
Can i achieve my lifetime goal if I do more research or keep persistently working at contacts? Am i completely out of teh game because of my step one scores or can I work some majic with my program director friends ?
I WNAT THIS BAD BC ITS THE ONLY THING I ENJOY.
