Some coordinator told me that to get nm u have to have 80+ on step 3. Is this true? This is so not fair. I thought step 3 didn't count for anything.
If you don't want to do a clinical year before nuc med residency, you need to pass step 3 with 80+.
If you plan to do a clinical year or are doing it, then no such requirement. You even don't need step 3. ECFMG certificate is enough.
Actually, it eases the requirement. Not makes it difficult. Just different requirement combination.
By the way, going into nuc med before any residency is suicidal, unless you are terrific. But, if you are terrific, why come to nuc med.
