Hi Dr Freedman:
Quick question about timing for MATCH 2010. I completed Step2 but did not take Step1 yet. Do you think it would be too late to apply for (Neurology) MATCH 2010 even if I take my Step1 by late Jan2010?

Been there done that,
If you think medicine is any different from any other field, then it is certainly you who are in for (or have already experienced) a culture shock. People are people (and have both positive and negative attributes), whether they are in medicine, law, or work in a grocery store.

What is not being mentioned, is the humiliating and grueling nature of this whole process. Brown nosers and sycophants will rejoice. If you think that medicine is free of backstabbing, *sskissing, and overall cutthroat environment, then you’re in for a culture shock.
