M3 here, US Allopathic student at mid tier school. I've enjoyed every rotation, like all types of patient populations and pathology. I loved and was great on my surgery rotation (and the small amount of subspecialty stuff I saw) but Step 1 not competitive and my wife would kill me haha. I also...

Did you disclose your ADHD on any residency applications/national licensing forms? The questions are worded like: "Do you have any impairments that, with or without reasonable accommodation, prevent you from performing the essential functions of the training position?" "Do you currently...

Hey everyone, I have ADHD, in undergrad I was accommodated longer times on exams. As a pharmacy student I'm scared to speak up and say I have ADHD and need longer time or accommodation. Do they look at you different? Like who wants a pharmacy student with ADHD and future potential mistakes. Am...

My GPA is a 2.5 and I'm a senior. I've had trouble focusing on school (finally diagnosed with ADHD 5 months ago and have been making all A's for the past two semester after diagnosis/medication). I am certain that I have the ability to do well in my classes if given the opportunity to redo, now...

I'm in my senior year of undergrad and throughout college I had been constantly struggling with being distracted. Even when I put away my electronics and only had a pen, notebook and textbook, I would daydream (sometimes for 10 minutes at a time). My friend suggested I might have ADHD (I'm also...

Any major cardiac contraindications you see with stims? I see patients with hocm, rbbb, MVP etc who would benefit from stims but I am concerned given the cardiac warning with stims. What do you think is the best way to help patients? I get thorough cardiac family history as well.

I'm in my P1 year of pharmacy school. It's going well grades-wise but my relationship is on the backburner. I do what I can but I have ADHD and studying/school is incredibly difficult for me to begin with and it seems like in order to do well and not fail out of school, the rest of my personal...
