Hi all,
I'm a PGY-1 who is supposed to be starting anesthesia next month. I failed step 3 two months ago by 1 point. I re took the exam recently and I was so anxious I'm CERTAIN I failed it again. I don't think I have the strength or willpower (not to mention time) to retake this exam. I've been so stressed during my intern year that I need a break. I think I need a leave of absence....how do these work. And does anyone recommend? And will I still have a spot next year or will I have to reapply? I'm actually starting to think I'm just not cut out for this medicine thing.
Thanks
