Hi, I'm new to the boards here and am an aspiring Zoo Veterinarian, basically I would love to work with exotic animals, preferably mammals and marsupials, in a Zoo setting or something like SeaWorld if I was to go into the marine mammals area. That's my primary goal - though I'm open to other...

Now I know this topic has most probably been beat down more than I can imagine on this forum, as I have read most of them on this topic, but I'm still not too much clearer on what I should do. Let me start by saying I love medicine, I don't mean IM medicine, or Peds medicine per say. I just...

Sorry I'm longwinded, but bear with me, I'm currently working at a prestigious internship in Public Health, while there my research mentor suggested to me that Social Epidemiology might not be the best end goal for me and what I want to do. I like working with people, talking to people...

Hi, please read the whole thing. It really does mean a lot to me. I am an aspiring physician. Of course, life doesn't come off that easily. My father was born in Vietnam, at the bottom of the economy. He used the floor as paper because he couldn't afford any, and didn't take food on the table...

I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins with a 3.5 gpa (psychology and anthropology). I would have had a 3.67 if it weren't for one semester during my freshmen year when I lost a family member and left the country for the funeral during my finals period. I have a 1900 SAT score, a 4.2 high...

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...

Hello SDN Nation, I'm currently a 4th year at USUHS and this month was recently declared military medicine month. If the exclamation point didn't give it away, I'm pretty pumped about medicine AND being in the military. I've read a lot of the horror stories, and though I'm not discounting their...

Best Menstrual pain pill without Ibuprofen? Are there any pills better than Tylenol without damaging? How do those differentiate with Tylenol? Both ALEVE and MIDOL are NAPROXEN. There's MIDOL, containing caffeine which isn't recommended during menstruation cycle. The MIDOL Teen version doesn't...

I'm allergic to Motrin which is an Ibuprofen. What is the best pill you recommend for cramps? I've always taken Tylonol but sometimes it feels like it doesn't work as well. If there's something better I'd rather take that. I've been told about Midol but isn't caffeine supposed to be avoided? I...

Apparently he's only 18, calls himself Dr. Love and owned and operated a medical clinic illegally. If he's smart enough to do all that, why can't he get himself into medical school?! See, this is why mentors are needed. Now he's a criminal. Doubt he'll ever get into medical school...

I know everyone writes their credentials on here and I've read some really good advice but nothing like my situation. I plan on applying for med schools DO or MD for the upcoming cycle. My overall gpa is a 3.1. My practice mcat scores are in the low 500's. I know alone those stats don't seem...

I have a few questions about Keck that I want to ask before going to the school. I would really appreciate the help! :) What exactly is PPM and ICM? I see that on all the schedules. The website also talks about CTR and EBM. What are those also? How is the curriculum? How many hours a week do...

To those students in medical school: Did anyone here major in philosophy or cognitive science? I'm wondering what the transition was like to medical school, which for the first two years is largely memorization based before you finally get to use critical thinking skills in the clinical years...

I am an IMG who did not match into medicine. Does anyone know if it is worth it to do a preliminary surgery year just to gain experience/letters and try to match into medicine again after?
