How do you guys explain to a patient that elemental calcium is different than what is listed on the bottle (calcium carb or calcium citrate)? And how to help them calculate their total daily dose based on that. I have tried math (0.4 x the bottles listed mg for carb & 0.21 for citrate), I've...

Hello all - I pose this question to students, residents, providers, and anyone interested in OMFS. What are some subjects from the world of OMFS that tend to cause confusion and why? Consider topics in trauma, pathology, dentoalveolar, orthognathics, cleft/craniofacial, reconstruction, etc...

Prior and current chief residents, I wanted to pick your brains about bettering a residency program from a logistic and educational perspective. My questions are based on my PGY-2 experiences at an academic medical center. Open-ICU Have any of you experienced an open-ICU relationship with the...

I'm a PGY-2. I feel like I've learned a lot so far this year, but I still feel like most of my knowledge as been learned by self-study & a few key attendings who put forth the effort to actually teach minutia & explain their reasoning. I feel like I am mostly teaching myself though. I feel like...

I’m debating whether I should go to medical school or get a PhD/psyd? I want to be able to both provide sex and sexual trauma based therapy, sex education, and also build clinical programs in human sexuality. I would also like a mixed job where I’m seeing patients, working with a team, and doing...

Hello SDN, I had a question about pursuing a Masters of Divinity degree either before or after seminary. I am an evangelical Christian (open to advice from whoever) who loves to study the Bible and theology, I'd love to be involved in church ministry. At the same time I love science and...

I was going to put this information in a reply to another post, but figured it's such a big topic that it deserved its own post. And I think the radiology resource recommendations to students and physicians on this site are ok, but not great, and only listed by popular vote which has its flaws...

Hi all, I am new here, and though I have read through similar topic threads, I believe there is not much info on CCO. Plus, NECO has changed a lot recently adding a lot to their clinic which I think should be considered. I have got acceptance from all three schools. While I'm very grateful...

Hello SDN. I am a little ahead of schedule as far as my undergraduate course works goes (dual credit stuff in high school) and was considering maybe teaching (junior high or high school) for a year before medical school. Providing my GPAs, MCAT, and other admission criteria are on par with a...

Hello! Let me give you my back story. I started at a community college. I graduated with my AA degree in Elementary Education and transferred to the University of Central Florida where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my BS in Elementary Education. My cumulative GPA was a 3.97. I'll be working...

Hey everyone! Here is my background: ~3.4 cGPA (life Sci- years; 3.7 in 4th year, lower in other years), completed my bachelor of education degree right after, however this degree was pass or fail, so no grades and strong ECs (a range of things, been committed to a few for a while). Writing the...

Finishing PGY1 year in a university/tertiary center. First thing - I love surgery, not a single doubt in my mind; still very happy with my decision to go into the field, but... Feeling pretty frustrated with my education so far. I know a lot of the ranting to follow isn't unique to me or my...

I have so many questions about what seems to be a mystery degree. First off, I can't find many (reputable) programs that offer this degree other than a few school psychology programs. Second, I've noticed that most of the providers I've encountered with this degree are older. Was this degree...

Looking for ideas for new things to do during our morning didactics. We have about 1 hour protected time each morning and are looking to change up what we do. We already do Prolog Questions, Review Practice bulletins and Assign Chapters from Williams OB/GYN. What are other programs doing that...

Hi everyone, Thank you for stopping by, and I'd really appreciate your opinion and insight on my issue. I feel like I have to explain a lot about my background in order to help you guys see my dilemma. My whole life, I knew I wanted to work in healthcare--I enjoyed every subject about health...

Preferably for free or low cost and easily accessible from a personal computer.

I never actually wanted to be a dentist. When I was young, my Asian parents enforced the importance of getting good grades. They would always get extra help (tutors) for my brothers and I, even when we did not need it. I excelled in my class and consistently got top marks because it made me feel...

Is it worth it to get a psychological degree just for yourself, to kind of understand yourself and have basic knowledge of the human mind? Tell me if i wrong.

I was accepted at my top choice school for the OTD program. However, it comes with a pretty price tag of $110,000 (out-of-state). I am trying to think logically about this and get into an in-state school... But I haven't toured anything like my top choice school. They had incredible facilities...

(Skip down to the questions if you don’t want to read about me it’s a bit long.) Hi, i was wondering what i should do with a HSE/GED. I’ve been lost for the past few years not knowing what to do with my life. I was an addict with multiple types drugs, i have self quit to show my peers that it’s...

Does anyone know of any good surgical procedure resources out there? What I'm looking for is a video database of different procedures, kind of like JoVE but for surgery Thanks!

Hello, This is my first time posting here, for the past month or so I've absorbed as much information from this forum as I can get my hands on. My mind is still jumbled and I could use the advice of people who have gone through the application process... so here goes my long post Last year I...

I recently matched into my #1 pick for IM residency, but since starting my intern year, I am disappointed in the quality of education provided to residents and the quality of the care provided to patients at my new hospital. During interview season I loved the warmth and friendliness of the...

Hello! Right now, I'm considering to both practice AND teach OT. Is it a good idea to go in the practice, then the teaching route for occupational therapy? Is it worth getting my OTD to teach? What's holding me back is that I'll be giving all four of my limbs if I choose the doctorate route...

How do these type of schools educate differently? In terms of residency, is there a limited number of specialties people generally get from going to these type of schools?

With the increasing use of mobile devices, the trend BYOD (bring your own device) is also developing in the educational field. Even though the people who are encouraged to enroll in accredited life experience degree are also using a number of devices to support their learning endeavors. The...

I'm considering options for a service project for the upcoming year. One topic that appeals to my personal interests/experience is cannabis abuse, abuse prevention, and addiction recovery. I lived as a cannabis addict for about five years between my sophomore year of high school and junior year...
