married couples aplying for residency

 Reply with quote
Hello!

I am an IMG who graduated this september from medical school in Romania.I have already took the step 1 exam in july,before graduating and took an 88(218) score.I plan to aply for the 2008 Match after passing the step 2 CK+CS in 2007.
My question is what programes should a married couple aply to increase their chances to work in hospitals located close to each other.Are there any programs that can help married couples?
Thank you very much!

There are many colleges that do couple matching. Some hospitals dislike the idea because there are cases where husband and wife working in the same hospital have marital problems and all the other residents and hospitalists become spectators.
