psychiatry

I'm a medical student applying psychiatry, really interested in emergency psych. I've noticed some differences in how medical workup / "clearance" works at different institutions, but I've only seen practices at one site, so I'm curious to gauge what's "normal" or common practice. I've been...

Alright, I know everyone has different beliefs on ranking systems and all that, but that aside, I'm wondering why tf MIT is ranked for psychiatry? They don't have psych residency programs or a medical school. This seems like it makes no sense. I'm just curious. Is there any reason someone should...

I've been asked by med students to recommend podcasts related to psychiatry. I saw a thread from 2020 that mentioned Puder, Carlat, and some others: https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/dr-puder-psychiatry-psychotherapy-podcast.1399410/post-21867691 I know of this podcast called On The...

according to Chelle Law the "average" is $66-67/wRVU and the average psychiatry is generating about 4,000 wRVUs. Can anybody verify this? does anybody know 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th percentiles? The job I'm considering is outpatient and uses pre-2021 wRVU rates which is complicating my evaluation...

Hi everyone! OMS-1 here. My school offers a DO/MA program, and I am considering it as the topic interests me. I was wondering what kind of edge (if any) a MA gives for residency? It will take up time that I otherwise would probably be involved in clubs or research. I do not think I will end up...

Hi y'all. I was wondering if I could get some tips on applying to residencies. Red flag: - Failed Step 1 (don't recommend planning a wedding around step 1). I ended up with upper 240s on Step 2. Took a research year. I have 5+ pubs (a few first author), and a few submitted. I have 10 posters...

So, I have always been set on Psych (First experimental, then clinical), and never considered med school. Mostly because my primary interests are neuroscience and psychology, so being a physician never occurred to me. Not to mention, I have a math disability and have never taken math classes...

I'm a 3rd year hoping to apply next year and just worried that some of the programs I'll be applying to will be out of reach because of needing med sub-I's. I go to a mid-low tier MD school but they don't offer many med sub-I spots and I'm kind of worried about my ability to bag one. Wanted to...

Looking for thoughts or opinions on these two programs. Don't know much about them, but I'm an interested third year hoping to apply to residency to them.

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...

Don't think this has been done for several years now, not sure, and there's been an uptick in medical student interest in the field. Anybody out there?

Hi! I"m a PGY1 Psych, with >300k loans :( I consolidated my loans to stay on track for PSLF. What's it like out there in the real world in terms of PSLF-eligible gigs? (in terms of salary, responsibilities, hours, etc) Are they mostly low-paying academic jobs 200-250k, or can you find decent...

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 guys, Essentially, medical school has been hell. I ended up failing anatomy in my first semester. The school had me (and others in the same boat) take spring semester off and restart with next year's class and repeat all courses. I went ahead and scored mostly B/C's in the major preclinical...
