Hi all,
M3 in the middle of the year here in the process of trying to rule in/out specialties. I'm looking for some honest answers, probably a yes/no would suffice, though I'd love to hear more. Please feel free to elaborate as much or as little as you'd like, and I promise I wouldn't take any offense to brutal honesty with even as much as "no chance."
I scored 228 on Step 1. If I am interested in pursuing IR, and I planned on taking a research year and doing research/making connections in the field, and had an improved Step 2 score, would I have a shot at making this a reality? I do think that I'm significantly less interested in a DR practice compared to doing IR procedures with the hope of a more clinician-centric focus, which the field seems to be headed towards, if that helps clarify what possible routes are realistically open for me.
