If u show that u were actively involed in some clinical observership then that wud be fine.Earning CME credits will not prove that u were involved in any active clinical experience.So, it is better to get the Observership letter.
Ye, yur scores r very good and u can match into Neuro if u pass Step-2CS on first attempt.
Good Luck!

PGY-1 and PGY-2 r postgraduate years first and second resp.
Yes, first year is a preliminary year in IM and after it there r three years in Neuro.U will have to apply to both the preliminary IM and Neuro programs in the same application cycle.Also, u can apply to integrated Neurology programs which will provide u with a designated preliminary position at the same program.
Good Luck!
