    Buck Parker, M.D. thanks for the reply man.I’ve always wondered why it was a path less taken, considering once you’re done you’re guaranteed a job in case something gets in the way that you could not attend medical school, which can’t be said with the biology/art pre med degrees. But then again I have to do an extra year to do the pre reqs which kinda sucks but I’m not in a hurry, a year won’t make much of a difference haha.

    I need your advice on the following matter. My wife is an IMG Nephrologist living permanently in the USA. She will be applying directly to nephrology fellowships as well as IM and FP. Here is our dilemma. Although Nephrology is her best choice, there are no nephrology program in our state, hence she will apply for IM/FP just in case a local residency program will accept her, since as a married couple, its terrible to have to move. In any case the problem is that specialty applications began 8/26 and residency begins around october. what does she do if some nephrology programs interview her before the residency programs even begin? On one hand she doesnt want to be completely unmatched, but on the other hand she might match in home state but wont know till later since specialty and residency ranking and match dates are at different times?

    Hey Dr. Buck, you said that you didn't apply to orthopedic surgery (and other specialty programs) because you would've had no chances because you're an IMG and you also mentioned how important the the Step 1 scores are. I'm really interested in ophthalmology and I was wondering if I could still get a residency position as an IMG if I score extremely high on my Step 1?
