Currently in my M2 year and was falsely accused of assault (Class A misdemeanor, some drunk people saw someone fall and thought I punched them) when out one night with my girlfriend early in the school year. Lawyered up and the case has already been dismissed by the court. I also have character...

If someone were to be soon convicted of a petty theft misdemeanor within the next few months but the background check for the hospitals (for 3rd/4th year rotations) was in February, this would not be enough time to get the case sealed and expunged, as it typically takes 5-8 months to be...

This has to be one of the stranger questions, but I'm going to throw it out there since I need an answer. I've been in touch with someone via email from the VA licensing board and her responses to this question have been beyond confusing. I have also found nothing tangible on the state website...

(asking for a friend) Friend (MS4) was arrested for a DUI. He matched in a different state and will be starting residency there soon. From what I understand, he'll have to disclose it to the state licensing board (the state specifically states "you must report any arrest, even if the charge is...

Hi, I am a second year family medicine resident and I plan on going into adolescent medicine once finished with residency. However, I do not intend to pursue a fellowship in this specialty and instead, I am focusing on this age group during residency and doing electives and core rotations in...

I'm about to start my senior clerkship, and due to the COVID19 pandemic our school is offering us two options: (1) delay our senior clerkship and graduate several months late, (2) begin our clerkship online, and graduate punctually (no agreement has been made about how long this online portion...

Hi all, I have been scouring the web attempting to find laws pertaining to school counselors in the state of California. I'm having little to no luck, even after reviewing ASCA, ACA, CASC, and a few other .gov websites. Do any of you know a website that clearly articulates the penal codes or...

Hi Everyone, Background: I am a fourth year (International) medical student in NY on a F-1 visa, about to graduate and start residency in the U.S. I am originally from West Africa and did my undergraduate in the U.S as well. I worked for a few years on OPT and a H-1B visa between undergrad and...

Hi! I'm filling out my AMCAS app and I am unsure what to enter for my state of legal residence. I am a US citizen who lived in NY for 23 years, then moved to Canada 7 years ago and became a Canadian citizen. I do not think I should write that I am not a legal resident, that would make no sense...

Hello everyone! I am an international student that just got accepted into medical school. In my country you have both your father and mothers last name legally. My question is if I should change my very common Hispanic last name (ex. Rodriguez, Garcia) to my second legal name which is more...

Good news: I've just been accepted! Background : I was cited a couple years ago for underage drinking, which was all dropped in a day or so and nothing ever came of it. My lawyer assured me it was taken care of, that it was not an arrest, and I could put no on all the forms when asked about...

I can't seem to find a great answer to this, (if you pass google page 3, it doesn't exist) but, what can you do with the PA-C and ATC combination? I currently am a practicing ATC, and due to life, I am looking at pursuing PA school locally. Now before you start with PAs can do X,Y, and Z, I'm...

So I was watching some trash TV during my lunch break today and saw a bunch of commercials for some of the various law groups in the area. Normally I'd just ignore them, but it caught my attention because they all were advertising for the same type of case and referenced 2 recent cases against...

I have spent the past 5 years processing and moving beyond personal and professional devastation due to harm caused by, what I strongly believe to be, an unfair determination made by the State Board of Examiners of Psychology. It would be very inaccurate for me to say I have been successful in...

Early in my junior year of college when I was 20 I had a few beers to drink. I was outside my car urinating when a cop pulled over to give me a ticket. Since I was outside my car I knew I had to give my license and registration, which was in the glove compartment of the car. When I got into the...
