obgyn

Hello all, I am making this account because I have a question. I wrote a book about holistic care of the vagina. I am pre-med and looking to apply to D.O. schools. I have not finished my B.S. in biology yet, so I have no credentials I lightly sourced my book and it is not anything with hard...

Ask me anything. I'm an Ob/Gyn and will be finishing my residency at the end of the month. Female, married, early 30s, 3 young kids (one born in residency). Was a med school reapplicant. Also a *long* time SDN member and appreciative of all the great advice I found here.

Greetings, I AM CONFUSED AND STARTING TO GET DEPRESSED... I am a secretary at a hospital in Atlanta. I've been working here for 2.5yrs now. My goal is to become an OBGYN I am very passionate about women's health. I don't see myself doing anything else for the rest of my life. I was able to...

Hi y'all Completed 2 years of OB/GYN residency training in Texas, did not pass USMLE Step 3 on third attempt. Was let go because of three strikes USMLE rule. Recently kicked Step 3's ass. If anyone knows of any unfilled programs or any PDs, please let me know. PGY1-3.

Hello everyone, I am an IMG looking at the possibility of applying to the 2018 Match. I graduate medical school this May. I have not taken any USMLE exams yet, so bare with me please. Possible Scenario: - I miraculously manage to take Step 1 by late July/early August (and get a score before...

Hello SDN, Been a long time lurker but created a new account for this post. I'd appreciate any and all advice. Situation: My fiancee and I entered the couples match this year (both of us competitive but US-IMGs). She wanted OBGYN but she matched into her backup IM. I wanted IM and matched into...

I'm almost done with third year. I've rotated through the majority of my clerkships and I'm on obgyn now. I used to want to do obgyn, and I thought everybody was just judgmental when I would hear how horrible the people in obgyn were. (I decided to do surgery before this rotation so this isn't...

Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to organize my rank list. I attend medical school in New York but I'm originally from the Midwest and I'm trying to match in the Midwest for residency. I'm having trouble differentiating between the many Ohio programs and was wondering how you would all rank them based...

Hello, I don't understand why everyone looks down on being and OBGYN, where is all of this animosity coming from? For example, I've been interested in becoming an OBGYN ever since I was a child and throughout the years whenever I would tell people that I want to be an OB, the remarks are just...

Any help would be super appreciated! Currently a 3rd yr (female) medical student, have +/- narrowed my choices down to Ophtho and Obgyn. Things that I value: 1) Interesting subject material (I love neuro and physics back in the day so for me: Optho > Obgyn) 2) Relationship with patient...

I'm an MS3 strongly considering Obgyn -> The main things holding me back (and making me consider a different medicine/surgical specialty like Ophtho) is the relatively more stressful lifestyle and schedule in Obgyn. 1) Any advice or words of wisdom? 2) For upper year residents, fellows, and...

Any advice would be helpful. I'm an MS3, aiming for a specialty with medicine and procedures/minor surgeries. Important to me: Patient interactions and care Lifestyle (more-so in terms of work-life balance than $)

Any help would be super appreciated. Have narrowed my choices down to Ophtho and Obgyn. Things I'm looking for: 1) Interesting subject material (I love neuro so for me: Optho > Obgyn) 2) Relationship with patient, "involved" patient interaction; using my skills in patient communication...

Any comments or advice would be great (Profile: I'm a male MS3, and want to stay in the U.S.) I'm more interested in the level of patient care in Obgyn I'm more interested in the subject material and work-life balance of Ophtho Things that I strongly value/are important to me: -Patient...

I am finding myself drawn to family practice. Specifically, a procedure emphasis with ob in a rural area. I have seen a few residency rograms (JPS in Ft Worth and Texas A&M) which have a strong focus on OB including primary surgeon on C-sections. The website boasts at least 50 c-sections and...

Hi, Seems to be that most other applicants right now are in a similar situation with NY AOA programs; I was at an interview earlier this week and everyone was equally clueless about the program because there's very little online anywhere. AS SUCH, Does anyone have any information regarding...

Anyone with a Cornell interview who is willing to swap for Nov 18th, please message me ASAP

Hello, I am starting to think about doing my research for residency programs. I was wondering: 1. What should I look for in programs? 2. Where to look for this info? 3. How to organize all this info? I want to do Ob/Gyn and I would prefer to be in the east coast.

Anyone willing to switch a December 9th NYU interview date for my date on December 2nd? PM me if so!

Hi there, I'm currently scheduled to interview on Dec 2nd and looking to swap. My preference would be Duke -> Dec 9th, but I would consider the Nov 18th option as well for either programs. Please message me if this would work for you!

Question: I am a month into my obgyn internship year. In terms of gynecology surgical cases, I have been assigned to minors in the outpatient surgery center usually hysteroscopy with polypectomy/endometrial ablation/d&c. In terms of major cases, as an intern I am only allowed to manipulate the...

Hi! I'm an incoming MS1 and so far I feel like OB/GYN is the only specialty I could really enjoy. I like the mix of medicine, surgery, procedures, and primary care. I've had enough exposure to OB/GYN that I know I would be really happy doing it for the rest of my life. However... I want to...

I'm a junior in high school and I've been considering my future a lot more lately. I know I want to be an OBGYN for sure. However, can I use a BS in Psychology as a pre-med track? Are there any fast track programs out there for an OBGYN?Also, I'll have my AA degree by the time I finish high...

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...

Hey guys, got my OBGYN shelf tomorrow. Had some questions if you don't mind. 1.) Do abnormal PAP result (ASCUS/LSIL...) treatment guidelines/algorithms come up as questions? Like: "24yo with LSIL, what is next best step...Colpo vs CKC/LEEP vs repeat testing? I ask because these guidelines...

Hello! Just hoping someone can do me a solid and switch! I have Ohio state sandwiched between my 2 Boston interviews on Dec 5th and rather than flying back and forth, is it possible to switch with someone who has a January interview??? Thanks guys and best of luck with interviews :)

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...
