Hi there, So I'm thinking of majoring in psychology, but I'm worried that it would make my interest in psychiatry blatantly obvious and I am currently operating under the (possibly ignorant) assumption that psychiatry is the specialty that benefits the least from OMM. Does anyone know if it...

Just curious, do psychiatry students in residency put in the same long long hours as regular drs in residency? How does it compare? How grueling is it? Thanks!

Posted on the old thread a while ago and didn't see a new thread, but I am looking for advice on how many programs to apply to, and what type of programs I would be considered at. I am happy to do residency anywhere, but if I could be in Cal, AZ, or Texas that would be best (I know California is...

Hi everyone, Thanks for reading this. So I'm really conflicted as to what to do here. My apps were delayed a few weeks in the fall due to a late LOR and I ended up not matching into Psych. I got a TY in SOAP and I know I should be grateful for that, but so far the program does not seem great...

I've been interested in psychiatry ever since I can remember. Currently, I'm a second year MD student (class of 2021) from a mid tier medical school preparing for the Step 1. I failed two basic science courses and successfully remediated (one in M1 and another at the end of M2). As all of that...

Hello guys! So currently an undergraduate majoring in psychology set to graduate in spring of 2020. my GPA should end up in the 2.9-3.1 range when that happens. I have been juggling the idea of therapy and getting my masters in marriage and family (MFT) BUT, my mind has been thinking more and...

If interested please PM me, thank

I'm trying to look at jobs but on job sites I'm finding myself wading through tons of recruiter posts. For a midsize metro area, the twin cities metro area in MN has ~20 jobs, and who knows how many of those are actually still available and how many of those other people are looking at. I...

PGY3 in psychiatry here, looking ahead to the next step of attending-hood. I would like to move to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and I'm wondering what the job market is like. Not saturated, I hope? What health systems are good vs best to steer clear of?

Hi there, Is there anyone who has completed/is currently in a triple board program (peds/adult psych/child psych)? If so, where? How did you go about deciding on triple board? What do most triple boarders end up doing career wise? This is actually my dream residency program. I really interested...

I'm hoping to get some opinions on this... I took a position with a group practice 6 months ago. I have been building a panel on the slower side and talked to my medical director about this, however the admin told me that once I got on UBH I would be fine and ramp up. Little did I know that...

ERAS is open! I'm surprised a thread hasn't been created yet. I'm stealing the format from last year's thread. This by no means is an official thread because I mainly started this for my own knowledge. Step 1: 233 Step 2 CK/ CS: 251/Pass (ECFMG Certified) School: 2017 IMG Grad (Not Carib, my...
