Hi everybody! I know this topic has a lot of threads, but not specifically about which job would allow students to better prepare for medical school. Through the threads, I noted that scribes are a good experience because you get used to taking notes that you will take as a physician and...

Hi! I’m a Canadian pre med, but I’d really hope anyone (us or can) could help me out with this question! On med school applications, do I have to write down the hours for every ec? From volunteering to research to starting clubs? How do you even do that? For things like starting initiatives or...

Hey guys, so classes just ended for us this week and I decided to take UWSA #1 just to see where I was at before starting my 5 week dedicated study schedule. I'm a DO student and am wondering if I should even take the USMLE at this point? This was my first practice test, I'm about 30% of the...

Hi everyone, I am blessed to have been accepted to Duke's Class of 2023 and University of South Florida's BS/MD. However, I am super stressed about deciding between these two schools. There are pro's and con's of both but I just don't know how important Duke's prestige is (vs. a state school)...

I resigned my residency. My PD advised me he could not write me a LOR. I ran afoul of my PD and I’m not sure how. I did make some mistakes, but other issues in my final letter are sculpted to sound bad, or things I didn’t even do. I received passing marks and logged 27 C-sections observed...
