:D hi anju
nice to see ur reply
i have mailed u other details
thanks

I do not check this forum everyday...I apologize if you have to wait a little bit for my answer! Some days are busy like hell ..but will definitely answer your concerns as soon as possible... anju

hey there: The thing is Ob/Gyn is really tough. I am sorry to hear your interview calls stuff. But do not worry about this at all. If you really want Ob/Gyn , then you can apply to the programs for the research spot since you have a publication so you would know how to do research. I dnt know where you are located, If u are in US-then email the program with your CV and Cover letter and the copy of your abstract and meet them personally if possible. once you are in system, then u can always ask for the clinical rotation there. This is how I got my research rotation! Once u have US LOR's and 1/2 US research abstract and step 3 score..Ob/Gyn wont be a problem....but its a lots of efforts and long hrs of work..but I never mind working like that because I love this speciality so much-that I am never ever burntout with this all, infact I am loving Ob/Gyn more than I did before...believe me it is the best speciality if you really love the Ob/Gyn work!! do not rush ur step 3 exam..go ahead and look for the rotation in US and you can write ur step 3 anytime before the next match. and step 3 wud be little easy if u have done some US clinical rotation.. hope this helps...
best wishes with your work..never give up..this is my perspective! though it is frustrating at times, but still belive me hard work always pays off..so just think that this match was to learn the ERAS application and you can always email me at suhag_anju@yahoo.com for any further questions.. I can understand that this is stressful, but keep trying, you will definitely get some research/observership somewhere and Ob/Gyn residency next year!! Anju

also anju i forgot to tell u i was very much inspired by looking at achraja rao post in this forum
like her i dont want to leave any stone unturned
i know that my step 2 score is bad but still i want to do something to recover it
thanks

hi anju,
thanks so much for the guidance u will be giving
i applied to nearly 70 program in obg but didnt get a single call
this was a big blow to me
my credentials are 91/ 79/ cs passed
i graduated in april 2006 and my medical school credentials are excellent
i have one publication to my credit
i didnt have USCE OR USLOR
i wrote to all colleges and according to the reqiurements applied to 70 colleges
i dont know where i went wrong?
many people told me to quit but i want to apply next year also
presently i am trying for observerships in obgyn
getting that also little tough
next step will be to write step 3 in may
other than this i cant think of anything else
can you tell me how to improve my chances for next year
i am hard core fan of obg and any other field will be difficult but still for next year i plan for FM also
from many days i am visiting this site but there was no progress in obgyn
today saw ur post so thought of writing to u
waiting to hear from u
