It's almost time for residency apps, and after rotating through peds and OMFS, I feel extremely torn. I really liked both specialties for completely different reasons, but I don't really have any info on either as far as admissions stats go. Does anyone have any info about requirements/which...

I have recently been accepted to two medical programs: Ohio University's DO program, and the University of Cincinnati's MD program. Both of these schools seem promising and I have heard positive aspects from several doctors about both of them, so making this decision is difficult for me...

I've read that after a live/attenuated vaccine, when patient receives a blood transfusion or just immunoglobulins for some reason, vaccine must be repeated after few months, why is that?

So I'm an M3 (sorta) at a top 20 institution who had to do an alternative course schedule due to some issues that arose during med school. First of all - I didn't take step 1 at the end of M2 as originally planned, when the time came I panicked and then after talking with my deans decided not...

So I'm an M1 and interested in both pediatrics and orthopaedic surgery. If I was given the opportunity to start pediatric research early on, should I do it? Or should I wait until an ortho research opportunity comes along? I understand that ortho's more competitive and it would be better to do...

Is there a list of Pediatric Residency Programs that do not require a GPR or a few years of post-doc work experience? Please post such programs that predocs can begin after receiving their degree. Thanks!

I've seen several versions of this question posed but not a lot of specific answers. A lot of programs don't list their current resident rosters which is the best way I know of to find out how likely they are to take DO's. There are a couple sites that I still don't know if they even take DO's...

So I did not pass my peds boards (first time). BY 2 POINTS! My question is: Has anyone paid for the re-score ($250) and passed? Does this ever happen? I can accept the fact that I did not pass... but if I did not have to take the test again that would be awesome! Thanks! PS. If anyone else...
