anesthesiology

In an effort to help my SO decide where they should apply to for anesthesiology residency, I am creating a master list of data on the different residencies from Doximity, Freida, & AAMC. I would like to add resident/fellows ratings to this data. However, I could not seem to find a good source...

Hello everyone what i like about IM: the knowledge part is probably the most intriguing part for me in IM. the wide variety of cases and the patient care as well. and of course the wide spectrum of specialties in it ( like cardio,nephrology,gastro ) what i dislike about IM: probably what i most...

Hello there, I am a US IMG, hoping to match anesthesia in 2019. In October, I will be graduating from one of the big 4 Caribbean schools. I am honor society, 90.5 GPA, 242 step 1, 259 step 2 CK and passed CS on first attempt. I'm trying to realistically decide how many anesthesia programs I...

Hi all! I am currently matriculating to a DO school in the south. And would like to stay in the south after graduation. However, I have noticed that not many southern academic centers are DO friendly yet (Who knows with the rapid southern DO school expansions). Anyways, during the past year I...

I bought these in 2013, 21st edition. In great shape, no missing pages. Definitely high yield information, I should probably keep them, but trying to clear out my office. $150 shipped.

Hi folks, I wanted to share my thoughts on the top 8 places I interviewed at this season for anesthesiology. Don't take my rankings of these programs too seriously though, all of them are phenomenal and have unique offerings. Hope this helps future anesthesiology applicants choose a residency...

Hello, I am a foreign medical graduate, graduated in Nov 2016. My scores are: Step 1-230, Step 2CK - 210 and Step 2 CS pass. I have 9 publications and 9 months of volunteer research experience. I am currently pursuing Masters in Clinical and Translational Research. I am seeking a PGY-1 position...

Can someone who has applied to ACGME programs with only a COMLEX please list which programs were applied to? I have searched Freida and identified several anesthesia programs that do not require the USMLE; however, after reading other posts on this forum, it appears other applicants in my same...

This question has sort of been asked before, however I just want to ask an extreme example. The reason I ask is that I most likely will be participating in the SOAP (failed to match ophtho) and many of the programs in the SOAP are not great. Obviously I would want to train at the best residency...

Hi everybody, I am trying to prepare for the Advanced PTEeXAM this coming July 2018. I am at odds as to what to use to prepare. I've been reading Perino, Sorrell and journals so far. A few people have said they used PTEMasters to prepare. Others say there are other resources besides PTEMasters...

Hi all, Recently I found out that I did not match into ophthalmology. I am now looking towards anesthesiology. This isn't the worst thing ever, as I was having some regrets about ophthalmology even during the interview process. I have taken the anesthesiology rotation and have given anesthesia...

i know there's no guarantee for anything but what would i need to do/to score to reasonably guarantee anesthesiology with Step 1 <220? PD survey for anesthesiology from 2016: interquartile range for step 1 for almost never granting interview = 210 - 220, i think that means: 25% of programs...

I'm an MS1 tentatively interested in anesthesiology (I realize this will likely change a million times by 4th year), but I also think the microbiome is freaking fascinating and want to get involved in a project. How important is it to do research related to the specialty you intend to apply to?

Hey all, as the SICU fellowship application opens it would be useful to have current and past fellows comment on the rigor and schedule of their prospective program. Also, I would be interested in prospective job offers or current jobs, like benefits, compensation, etc. Did you get a job during...

So the odds are looking against me from what I can tell, I'm a 3rd year just got back my scores of USMLE 218, COMLEX 541, and bottom quarter of class. I was president of the Anesthesiology club at my school but not much else Anesthesia related. What do you think about my shot at getting an...

I am applying to a surgical specialty and am figuring out my backup plan, which is probably to do a PGY-1 year and then apply for a PGY-2 spot in anesthesiology. Is any one PGY-1 year (Int Med vs Gen Surg vs Transitional) better than another for doing this? I'd like to do Gen Surg but would be...

Never mind, please disregard this post.

I'm currently debating between becoming an anesthesiologist v CRNA. However, the purpose of this question is solely to get an idea of the current job outlooks of both career paths. I've heard rumors of a surplus of CRNAs, but also of CRNAs encroaching upon the jobs of anesthesiologists...

I have seen older threads about this topic from almost 10 years ago, and I wanted to ask why now, in 2017, and going forward, why isn't anesthesiology more competitive to match into? Residency average hours about 60 per week according to FREIDA, starting salary around 400k according to MGMA...

Hi, I matched intro IM Prelim this year and I'm looking for any PGY-2 in IM or R1 seat for the next year. I have green card and I have no geographic preference. I have decent scores. Please let me know if there is any seat available. Thanks.

Not too many threads on this and a lot of info is a bit outdated, but interested to hear thoughts on Dental Anesthesiology, more specifically: 1) If you chose the DA route, what made you choose it? 2) Difficulty of stringing cases together when going from PP office to PP office? 3) Types of...

Hey everyone. I'm moving on from residency in afew months and I'm getting job offers for either W2 or 1099. At first, I figured it was a no brainer to go with the W2 because it included all the benefits. I figured a massive company would have more bargaining power and be able to provide me...

Hey guys and gals. I'm a med student and have wanted gas for several years. I want to help patients. money isn't a primary concern of mine. blah blah blah. let's talk business. Chronic pain reimbursements are down. Do you have any reason to believe they'll swing back up (or stay down or drop...

I am applying for a residency spot in anesthesia for the 2017 match. I was speaking to another applicant at an interview who talked to me about a program at which I had interviewed that I really liked. He said that he was also very impressed with the program, but was not going to rank it highly...

Hi, first time posting here. I'm currently an AMG in a mid level school finding out I just failed CS before applications are sent out. I just feel sick to my stomach. Did well clinically and didn't take the exam seriously :(..Anyone here have any insight on how schools look at people like me...

Hi All, Im a DO student applying for Anesthesia Residency. I scored better on my USMLE Step 1 exam compared to my COMLEX step 1. Would it be smart to NOT release my comlex scores to MD programs? Or am I required to release both?
