Hello,
I am an IMG who graduated in 2000. I failed Step 1 in 2002 and have not attempted it again. I worked as a resident in intensive care unit after graduating until I moved to USA in 2006. Over here I have a few months experience in pathology research. I have been unemployed and not done anything since November, 2009.I am interested in applying to IM, psychiatry and pathology residencies. My question is that when I graduated from med. school my school did not have psychiatry rotations so I don't have any psychiatry rotation grades in my transcript. I have all A's and a couple of B's in all other rotations. Can I still apply to psychiatry residency programs in the US and what are my chances?
