All my friends filling out ERAS for residency have started changing their names on Facebook. I have very stringent privacy setting on my profile. Two questions: 1.) Should I change my name? 2.) If I should change my name, what should I change it to? Please keep all responses professional (LOL)

Dear All, I am a seasoned USMLE Step 1 and 2CK tutor. I've been tutoring for 3 years now and myself achieved > 250 on Step 1 and Step 2CK. I am also an IMG and have trained at renowned institutions such as Hopkins and others. In teaching and training over a hundred students, I have developed a...

All, I've seen a few postings on this general topic, but none that specifically mentioned this scenario. I'm not always available to present my research, but I know that it's perfectly acceptable to list it on one's CV: Vader D, Skywalker L, and Hut JT. "In a galaxy far, far away." JAMA, 1:1...

Tried to post this in another thread, but didn't get any responses. I'm an MS3 who just decided to apply internal medicine in the fall. I have two elective spots prior to ERAS submission (July and August), and plan to fill one of those spots with my IM sub internship. The other I am planning to...

Hi friends, I saw some posts about people not having any LORs from surgeons, but wanted to pursue a surgical residency. I only have letters from surgeons (3 general, 1 vascular), and I want to apply to general surgery residencies. Will this lack of variety be a problem? Should I try to obtain...

How did your residency planning & match go? Help out the next class as they're already gearing up for ERAS. Message me your answers to the following questions and I'll post them anonymously. Recommended: don't be specific enough to identify yourself. 1. Did you match ObGyn? 2. What position on...

So since we're getting closer to 2020 with each day that passes, I was wondering if there's an up-to-date list of internal medicine programs that are either dual-accredited or are at least applying for the ACGME accreditation. The AOA website isn't very helpeful. I'm interested in places that...

Hello everybody! I tried looking for the answer to this everywhere could someone with information on this please help us out. The NRMP couples match video just barely touches a fact where it says couples have to be " ranked at the same rank level" to successfully match together. Me and my...

I want to take Step 2 CK such that the score has been resulted before I go on interviews. This way I can bring it up on the interview trail if I did better, but can not mention it if I didn't do better. I'm confused about the dates - ERAS submitted 9/15 Deans/MSPE released 10/1 (I've heard...

Hi all, I'm working on ERAS for the upcoming fellowship application for pain. Do any of you guys know how to send programs our ITE scores under this new system? It looks like ERAS lets you upload surgery ABSITE scores but that's it. I didn't see much on random program websites as many seem to...

I completed my sub-internship at my home school in the specialty I am applying to this year. I received honors and a very lovely written evaluation by the assistant program director and another upstanding faculty member within the department (PDF with their signatures). Should I email programs...

Hey everyone! As match season gets underway (and I'm sipping hot chocolate in my scrubs on an overnight call) I couldn't help but get nostalgic about all the fun ya'll are about to have! All of you will be getting loads of advice from classmates, residents, and family (don't leave them out!)...

Hey guys, I'm a 4th year student at a US allopathic program (state). I applied to ~29 IM programs and so far have only heard back from six . I am concerned because I actually did not receive an email invitation from the last program that extended an interview (Loyola) and they had to call me...

Hey guys! I've been lurking around for a while but was never really active, until I realized how much I rely on sdn for my neurotic med student tendencies, and how how our Obgyn thread is regrettably not full of as much up to date information as other threads!! Either post yourselves or PM me...

Hi all, I tried looking for a similar thread, but couldn't find anything to answer my questions - apologies in advance for a repeat if I couldn't find one. I submitted my residency application for radiology, but have been having some serious doubts about my career choice since submitting. I was...

I sent in my ERAS last week including 'craft beer' amongst my list of some 20 hobbies/interests. Under advice of a good friend I thought it would be okay to leave it in. After talking with some others today who highly disapprove, I worry that I may have made a big mistake leaving it in. Will...

Hi Guys...have a kind of serious problem. I forgot to fill in the "Hobbies and Interests" section of the application! I have already applied, so I can't change it anymore. I was actually editing the text to make it really nice (sitcoms, music, some of the stuff I was going to mention), but I...

I feel like an idiot. I am applying to EM and have two departmental SLOEs and one letter from my EM advisor on that should be uploaded in the next couple of weeks. A surgery attending from third year also offered to write me a letter, and since we got along well, worked together a lot, and he...

I read a lot of older posts about the ADTS and how it tells you if a program downloaded your application. The thing is, I can't find the ADTS! All I found is a link to ADTS 2014 that asks me to download Firefox!

Can I submit and certify my application tomorrow if my school has not uploaded my medical school transcript yet? Thank you.

Hi All, So I am hoping to apply to Emergency Medicine this cycle. I currently have a regular EM LOR, but I will receive my first SLOE by the middle of October ( finish EM rotation by then) and second by the middle of November. Is this too late in terms of applying because I won't have the...
