I'm doing my MD in Russia. I'll graduate in 2028...I'm planning to give Step 1 in 2027 and Step 2 in 2028 and go for the 2029 match cycle...is this a realistic approach or am I being too delusional and need more time?

Intern Year Day 10

POP QUIZ: If you see the doctor for concerns of X, which you've had before, and the doctor tells you, "Hey, it sounds like X, we'll do a lab and a scan, I expect to see Y on the lab but we will need the scan before we can decide on a course of action. If the results are concerning or need medicine, I will call you or send the medicine. Otherwise, come back for a follow up after the scan so we can discuss results, or if your symptoms worsen in certain ways, go to the emergency room," and then your results come back showing Y as promised, what is the correct next step?

Hopefully I'm not jinxing it, but something about tipping over into my third and final (which: jfc) year of residency has got me feeling a lot more comfortable with things that previously stressed me out.
