Hi all. Hoping to get some input on this... I am applying into pediatrics and creating my program list. I plan to do fellowship in Neonatology, Pulmonology, or Heme/Onc. Given this, I am wondering what the general advice is on community programs. My home institution has given split advice... my...

My main question / TLDR: Since Psych is not a guarantee bc of my grades, do I dual apply to Peds or to FM as my "backup"??? or BOTH??? Is triple applying even possible, or more like very ill-advised? Hi everyone, you probably need a lot of context with this. I'm a US MD MS3 female. I always...

Hello Sdn, I just received my step 2ck score of a 217 and I am absolutely devastated. All of my practice exams were in the 230-240 range with free 120 scores above 75% and I have no idea where this test went wrong. Here are some of my other stats: Step 1- Pass Level 1-Pass Sigma Sigma Phi...

I’m a MS4 really interested in dev peds but I sometimes wonder if it makes more sense to go into psych instead of peds if I already know now that I want to do more behavioral work. I also fear that because I’m location bound due to having a family, I might not get into dev peds fellowship...

Hi Everyone, My partner recently completed residency and just finished her initial board certification exam. I think this is relevant to residents and current attendings because it highlights some issues with board certification and the pressures and culture of this profession. I hope we can...

Hi Looking for a PGY1 in pediatrics, IM or Family Medicine anywhere. Years of research experience and several publications.

Does anyone on here know what happens if you are in an active duty pediatric subspecialty fellowship program and you fail the gen peds board exam on your first attempt? For reference, I graduated from an active duty peds residency program this past June 2021, and I’m now 3 months in to a 3-year...

Any tips on scoring a sub-i at UoHawaii, Baylor CHOSA, LACUSC, UCSF Fresno or Loma Linda? As someone just entering 3rd year without access to VSAS/VSLO (what is the difference?) yet, can anyone shed light on what programs are looking for when picking applicants for away rotations? Are there any...

Except adolescent medicine obviously, but are there organ systems in which the sx typically arise in kids/adolescents? I'd love to see mostly older kids and for the smallish ones <4yo to be the minority of my patient load.

Looking for PGY1 in IM/FM/Pediatrics/Pathology or Psychiatry.

Hey guys, Need thoughts. I only took COMLEX 1 (~600), no step 1. I really loved child psych, peds, and FM rotations. -FM: Love that you can build relationships with adults and kids over time. Don't want to do many procedures or manage HTN and DM all day though...Long hours/exhausting? Some...

Is anyone able to comment on the pediatric only or pediatric track HPM fellowship programs (knowledge of, how competitive), as well as any insight into job market, etc. I'm a current Pediatrics resident considering applying to fellowship this cycle and finding it difficult to find information...

I get that all doctors have very busy schedules, and I am not expecting to walk into anything less, but in YOUR OPINION is your work/life balance sound as a "typical" physician in pediatrics (Would prefer to hear from peds doctors in a hospital setting instead of somewhere like a private...

Hello all, interested in these 2 specialties and I am a 4th year trying to decide! I am starting my first inpatient peds (only have done outpatient thus far) next month so hopefully that will help determine. I am interested in doing rural medicine. I like the idea of full spectrum perhaps some...

Rising M3, just got my Step 1 results back. Here are my overall stats. Happy to provide any other info I may have left out. Step 1: 239 AOA: No Class Rank: Don't know, probably somewhere in 50-75%ile School: Low-tier in the south. No significant ties to CA (Just a few family friends we...

Hi! I am very new here (this account was just verified a few minutes ago) so I apologize if there’s anything wrong with this post. I’m about to start college and need to make a decision, and these decisions have been narrowed down to Pediatric Nurse Practitioner or Pediatrician. I don’t hope to...

Hi guys, I'm looking at several specialties that may be a strong fit for me. My interests are treating children with neurodevelopmental disorders and do autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities research. I've been pretty set on Pediatric Neurology. But, I'm aware that there are several pathways...

I am very curious about what life is like during the four years of active duty for Army pediatricians. Are there any current Army pediatricians that can share some details of their current life? or if you aren't in Peds, what is your specialty? I would greatly appreciate input on where you are...

I am a senior resident in a Canadian residency program (Canadian trained) in a program with significant overlap with pediatrics and was hoping to get additional training in the states to be dual licensed. Does anyone have any advice or feedback for my situation?

Hi everyone, I'm an IMG interested in applying for child neurology (which I hear is not very IMG friendly, generally, but I'm gonna try to press my luck because I love the field). There are all so little programs that I can apply to in the specialty and I plan on applying to pediatric programs...

sorry, wrong forum!

So I scored pretty low on COMLEX 1 (under 500) and was wondering if I should bust my butt during my third year and take Step 1 to make up for it (which is extremely difficult in itself) or if I should just focus on COMLEX 2 and try and do really well on it. Say I get upper 500s or above, will...

Hi all, I recently finished peds residency in the US and now doing an ACGME fellowship in clinical informatics. However, after being in the fellowship I realize that the informatics career is not for me. Outside of work I'm also having some personal issues and overall it's shown me that I need...

I realize that, much like the order of M3 rotations, intern year in pediatrics will be similar no matter how you slice and dice it.... I also realize there will be significant variation between programs... HOWEVER... I dont have any specific life events to schedule my vacation and Im not...

So I'm currently doing my masters and have the opportunity to do some research this summer. There are two programs that I'm interested in. One is a clinical / rural & community health research program working on Telemedicine and the other is bench research working with Pediatric Oncology. I'm...

I'm a 3rd year Caribbean medical student, and I have a terrible step 1 score of 212...I'm not sure what happened there but I'm working towards a redeemable step 2 score. I'm interested in FM, IM and Peds (basically primary care), but I also want to make SURE I get a residency in one of those 3...

I'm in the process of obtaining more hours in a new setting for PT observation, but I'm not sure which to choose for pediatrics? There's one that is hospital based another that is outpatient, out of the two which would look better on an application for school?

Hi all. Is there a possible pathway from FM to pediatric EM (official or unofficial)? Say if I’d do lots of pediatric electives during FM residency and complete the EM fellowship, would pediatric emergency departments consider me for a job? Lots of pediatric ERs hire regular pediatricians, so...

Hey ya'll, I am currently an M1 at a lower tier MD school with aspirations of matching at a top 10 (or similar quality) neurology residency. I have been consistently scoring in the top ~10% of the class on my exams thus far. Getting to the gist of it, I have been doing research with a prominent...

Hey everyone! I've recently become quite interested in primary care, and I'm wondering if anyone could give me some information. I'd like to know which med schools have programs that are primary care focused - for example, they prefer to accept those going into primary care, they only train PC...
