with some of the jobs I interviewed at, there was a requirement to live within 30 minutes of the hospital even tho I was not an admitting physician. right now I'm a little less than 10 minutes away to my clinic and that has been awesome. (30 from hosp) sent from my iPhone

be comfortable with what you know and more importantly, what you don't know. refer when it's the latter. learning doesn't stop after residency. it's a lifelong endeavor with plenty journals, conferences, and peer interaction! don't be afraid to ask partners in your office or even call your...

double check that the programs you applied to are IMG friendly. i dont know how many you are applying to in each field, but you may want to consider applying to more since you're diversified into 3 fields. did you apply to places where you did rotations?
