So heres my dilema. I can honestly say I love both Medicine and Dentistry. I have been actively working on my Dental School application for the application process this June and thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do (General Dentistry but do alittle bit of everything: fillings, crowns...

Hi everyone, Hope you all had an amazing holiday so far! Here's my story: I graduated from an undergrad program in Canada and applied to pharmacy with a GPA of around 3.9 in the last 3 years. I was accepted, and was SO excited-- I absolutely loved pharmacy. I was passionate and enthusiastic...

Hey Guys, new poster here... not one to post on forums usually, but I really need some help. I'm still a first year medical student, just finished first semester and have exams coming up soon. Getting into this course was everything up to a couple of months ago - this time last year, it was...

I am an Air Force PGY2 who has failed two PT tests in the past year (one fail, one pass, then another fail). I became short of breath during the run in the cold. I do well enough to pass with albuterol. I am now undergoing a command-directed medical evaluation board, being reviewed by the...

I'm a high school senior and I got 2 Cs last year. 1 was first semester in AP stats and the other was in first semester of honors anatomy and physiology. I really screwed up first semester and these classes were quite hard for me. But I those were my only Cs ever. I got A+ second semester both...

So - some background info. I attend an expensive private Dental school. Not excessively (100k+) expensive, but basically up there (80k a year) I've said this here before, but from the get go, I was interested in Dentistry for the lifestyle it provided, job stability, and income... and because I...

How do medical schools evaluate your GPA? After all, each applicant is coming from a different school with different courses and professors. Even an intro physics course at one school could be totally different from one at another school. My school is known to be particularly stingy when it...

I am a sophomore and have done 26 hours of job shadowing and found through not only that but also having a physician mentor and going to a high school pre-med camp that I LOVE medicine, and I can;t wait to be a doctor. I crave hospital hours and time to interact with patients, but all of my...

Okay, so Rutgers University in New jersey just created a dual degree program which provides a Doctor of Medicine and a Doctor of Pharmacy. Sounds very interesting, but is it worth the money and extra work? Doctors, Pharmacists, Medical students please feel free to answer! Here is the link to...

Do medical schools really take this trend into account?

I never knew these forums existed until a colleague recommended that I have a look so thought I would post my current thoughts to see what you think... I have been thinking intently over the last few months about moving to Australia, and I believe I have now reached my conclusion. With the...

How can I address this question without coming off as fake or insincere?

So - I'd like to begin by first saying that this is a throwaway, because I don't really feel like having any of you discover who I am - (never underestimate the power of the internet. Dentistry is a very “front” facing profession. Your mug will be plastered on the website of whatever office you...

Hi, I'm a 4th year student and I just started the residency interview trail. Due to family considerations etc. I ended up applying to a bunch of places on the east coast without really doing good research on the programs. Now I'm interviewing and I feel bad for not spending more time making my...

Hi everyone! I've been researching quite a lot these days for MD programs taught in Asia specifically in Japan, Taiwan, and Hongkong but I can't seem find any information. I'm hoping you could suggest some school. I'm in my second year of premedical study taking BS Biology in Philippines. I...

First, let me know about your interest in hyperbaric medicine. And then give me some opinion about this medical field. For myself, nowadays Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is more than just adjuvant therapy in my country, Indonesia. And of course, many studies has been done for that. What about...

Also, how competitive are these programs? Say I completed a ACVIM equine internal medicine residency. How much would this put me a step "above" the other candidates for say a partner practice? How much would this increase my mid-career and starting salary vs. just an equine internship?

Hi there. So for the past 12 or so years of my life, I've been studying with a CBSE affiliated Indian school. This is my last year. Now, my 10th grade board examination GPA was pretty damn good, a 9.2 out of 10. But I really slacked off during 11th grade due to some family issues. 12th is going...

As an undergrad, I am currently taking an intro Psychology course as well as a course in Sociology. Owing to the fact that the MCAT now contains sections on Psych. & Soc., I thought that it'd be a good idea to take up these classes. Will this material, only being at intro-level, be useful for...
