Sorry if this is the wrong section to discuss this topic in- I didn't see anything else that seemed more 'off topic' than any other ones. I know, it's quite taboo to discuss salaries in the medical profession. I 100% agree that people going into the medical field should do it out of passion...

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...

I've seen many times on this site that Pediatrics is one of the least competitive residencies. This surprised me because as of now it's my top choice. Not surprisingly, highly ranked, typically private schools are very expensive... which equates to a lot in loans! My state school is much more...

Hi, I'm new to sdn, but have been reviewing forum posts about HPSP for the last couple of days. I am a senior in college, and have been recently accepted into medical school. I don't have a lot of money, and it worries me to even think if I will be comfortable in med school. Recently, I...

Hi I couldn't find a recent post on how to gauge COMLEX scores for Pediatrics. I scored a dismal 470 because of an unfortunate situation. My practices were >500. I know I'll do better on COMLEX 2. What do you think my chances are for ACGME Peds residencies? I am hoping to do a neonatology...

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...
