procedures

I'm a 3rd year researching residencies in MO, IL, and KY. Wondering if anyone has any experience with Carle FM residency in Urbana, IL. It's geographically in a location that is good for me and my family. I've read residency reviews about them on SDN's "scutwork" page, but all the posts there...

First, thanks for reading this! I know it is long. I am pretty set on FM. I love it to death. I also really love women‘s health. While I would love the added bonus of delivering babies, until I get closer to finishing medical school, I’m not sure if I want to dedicate so much of my time to OB...

I'm doing internship in Europe at the moment and I'll need to pick a specialty in April. The thing is, that I am completely lost and can't put my finger on what to pick. I find bad sides to every specialty when I think about it and because there are so many choices I have analysis paralysis...

hi there! can GI fellows share what their day to day and weekly breakdown of their lives are like? some of the things I’d love to know more about are what’s the inpatient/outpatient split, what types of procedures and complaints make up your practice by proportion, and do you ever do...

A recent episode of the AUA’s podcast Inside Tract (link below) mentions that APPs may be trained to perform cystoscopies, TRUS, prostate biopsies, and even vasectomies. Do you think that the expanded use of APPs in procedures would be a net benefit for urologist’s scope of practice and bottom...

Hello everyone! I’m a second year FM resident. My main interests include, OB, peds, Derm, inpatient medicine, and possibly some EM. My ideal job would be inpatient medicine and inpatient OB coverage but I realize in order to do OB as a FM doc I’ll have to do some clinic too, though I don’t...

Like the title says, I feel that I don't have the talent some of my co-residents do when it comes to procedures. This made me shy away from them early in the residency, which made the situation worse. I'm in my second out of three years now. I know there's enough time to practice, especially...

Hey, EM resident here. I've got a good friend who is an MS3 strongly considering going into IM or EM, however he's rather turned off by the more unsavoury aspects of EM (the drunks, the homeless, the drug seekers, the occasionally violent/EDP). We both attend(ed) institutions with EM residencies...

Can they perform procedures as advanced as arthoscopies?

I am currently on my drug policy APPE rotation and my longitudinal project is to create another standard operating policy and procedure document that will guide the pharmacy Investigation and research department of the hospital.The last document has not being updated since the year 2013. I...

Hi, I'm a 3rd year IM resident at a smaller community hospital, planning to do hospitalist medicine next year. I'd also like to work at a small community hospital, and even pick up some moonlighting shifts in a small ICU where they need hospitalist coverage. I'm not getting much experience at...

I am currently applying to FM resodencies and am looking for those that offer lots of experience in procedures. I want enough numbers to get hospital privileges. I'm interested in doing many vasectomies, colposcopies, tubal ligation (if possible), sports medicine procedures, and anything else I...

Please help me. I'm scared of Every procedure. And there isn't a department I haven't had a blackout in. I know that I feel that the patients are gonna be in pain during the procedure, so I freak out. And trust me this is not my problem I try to stand in the front and be brave and watch...

I'm looking to apply to family medicine residency programs that teach a variety of procedures like endocoping. Any ideas?

Hi To began, this fibroid epidemic appears to be directed at certain populations of women. I have never seen so much harvesting of women uterus. This is absolute disgustion. As a national I am appalled. Our students are not being inventive or ingenius. This will change. Fibroid that are...
