    Introduction to the Nontraditional SDN community

    Good evening, fellow nontrads! Selfishly, I thought it might be a good exercise - perhaps even cathartic - to write out my (very preliminary, exploratory, non-committal) plans. For some context, a little about me: 35+ year old male, married, young children under four. Sole breadwinner - work...

    Attire in Clerkships/Rotations

    I am a very poor outfit selector. I needed help from many people to finally dress properly and match my clothes. I am confused about what shoes to wear in rotations.

    Professional Personal Statement Editing Service

    It's crunch time and I have written several drafts for my personal statement and other essays for the Texas application. I'm a perfectionist and would feel significantly better turning my drafts over to an experienced professional to fine tune them or tell me I need a complete reboot and guide...

    Use proper grammar in communication.

    Professional Photos

    I've heard that some secondaries ask for a photo with the application so I was considering having my pictures done. My question is, if I'm wearing my outfit in the photos that I'm saving for interviews, would that be weird? Should I choose an outfit for the photos that I won't be wearing to any...

    Shoe recommendations for women for clinical rotations

    What shoes do you recommend for female med students on M3 clerkships? Bonus if they have a wide toe box and work with both pants or skirts. Double bonus if you include links. I dug up some older threads (2004, 2010, 2012)--but all the links are out of date. :/ Fashion changes too fast.
