residencies

Hi, I’m an internationally trained dentist trying to give my ADEX exams for the license. I have the operative exam coming shortly. I really appreciate if you guys could share your experience on that. Those who gave the exam this year, which teeth were you assigned and how much deeper had you...

Hello fellow students and doctors, I am an Indian veterinary graduate. I want to learn and explore other countries as well.... the techniques and skills I can learn from different parts of the world. I currently am looking for some post-graduate programmes that can help me in clinical training...

I recently started to get familiar with the PCC specialty and am finding it super exciting! having the skillset to truly save lives in a life-or-death situation, the huge variety of practice options, connection with my personal interest in environmentalism, 7-on/7-off schedule, and lots of...

Hi all! I'm an incoming MS1 at a top 10 research-oriented school. I was wondering how important research will be moving forward in the medical pipeline. I'm asking because: 1) I'm not aiming for uber competitive specialties - I think I'd like to do primary care or emergency medicine since...

Hi

Does anyone know literally anything about this residency program? It’s formerly known as Lutheran. NYU says residents get the “same degree” as residents at the Manhattan location but everyone I speak to says they lab to rank the Brooklyn track much much lower than the Manhattan track. If any...

Image the following scenario: I'm an M4 Navy HPSP recipient, and I apply to both military and civilian residencies(EM as my 1st choice, radiology as my 2nd, and internal as my 3rd). I match into a civilian EM program but only an IM program for the military. Do I have to do the military...

Hey guys. Why is it that some perio residencies get GME funding and some do not? Is it because certain programs have components with affiliated hospitals vs. being dental school based? Does the GME money only come from Medicare or Medicaid or where, or on a state-by-state basis ? Or if a...

Background: I am applying for Navy HPSP. I would like to do a military residency in EM but I don't mind spending the 3-4 years as a GMO either. After medical school, let's say I don't match into a military residency. If I serve my HPSP time as a GMO, how difficult will it be to match into a...

So all I could really find about this was old or incomplete information. So I figured I'd ask here. I have 3 questions. How important are externships for ortho applications? How long do orthodontic externships usually last (1-2 days, or more?). How do you go about setting these up with...

I see a lot of depressing threads from 2006/2009/2012 etc. about Gas or Anesthesiology losing jobs and being paid less, but the statistics seem to say otherwise. Its 2019 and: Automation doesn't look like it happening any time soon...

Hi! I wanted to reach out and see if there was anyone on this thread who attended UIC in Chicago. I was curious about their thoughts on the curriculum, how they handled it, and if they were able to find a job out of state after finishing school there for residency or retail. The web page...

I’m an undergrad right now on the pre med track. I really want to pursue a specialty that would allow me to raise children on my own while still earning enough to support them. I’d really like to have kids through adoption/surrogacy in my early thirties, so soon after I finish residency...

I recently got accepted to both Scholl and NYCPM. I’m posting to this forum because I know that most of you are residents and physicians, and know more about the real world than we students do. I was wondering, even though both schools pretty much have the same education and curriculum...

I was really trying to get more information to make a decision between either of these two. I am a USMD newer med school; step 1 234, clinical grades have all been pass. I've talked to a PDs who have said that my step score was within range. According to Freida, rads average step scores seem...

Which perio residency programs come to mind when you think of a program doing lots of exciting new procedures or more advanced techniques? Things like AOO/Wilckodontics? Other exciting stuff that maybe wouldn't be in the normal realm of most perio programs. I am a D3 looking at externships in...

Hey, gang! I'm new to the idea of osteopathic medicine and was curious about how one would go about obtaining an interventional radiology residency as a DO. Would this change as a result of the 2020 merger? This is already a very tough residency to gain for MDs, will it be impossible after the...

Hi All. I am pretty new to SDN, and I figured this would be a good place to ask about residency how-to's. My husband does so much of the research for anything medical school related (obviously, since he's the one in medical school), so he doesn't always convey to me what I could be...

I'm from the Midwest, I would like to eventually end up working in the same region because of family ties. I know residency matches are dependent on COMLEX/ USMLE scores and specialty, but do residencies prefer students who attend medical schools in their region? Some DO schools have missions to...

Hello, I’m an incoming M1. I haven’t decided which residency to pursue as I want to explore what’s out there. More about myself: F in early 20s, quiet & introverted, don’t mind seeing blood but prefer less surgery-heavy specialties I’m aiming for a less competitive to mod competitive specialty...

Hello. I'm a first year resident in ophtho. Not in the US though. I know all the first year is hard and stuff, but I do have a thought to quit ophtho. The reason is that I don't like and I'm not good doing the microsurgery. I have difficulties seeing with my binocular vision under the...

Hey guys! I am a third-year pharmacy student and I just started a podcast that explores different aspects of pharmacy school as well as all the opportunities available to students! On my first episode, I interviewed a fourth-year student that was selected for 10 different residency interviews...

Hi All, I'm in my second semester of P1 year. First semester was stressful as hell, but I eventually adjusted. My grades were not all A's, but I'm satisfied with them. Problem is, this semester my grades are plummeting.. I study harder than ever, days in advance and all night when i have to...

Question should read: What sub-specialties STEAL from others? I am interested in oncology, but I don't know whether surgical or medical. It seems surgical oncologists have a better chance of stealing patients and taking a chunk from the medical oncologists. Is that true are they different...

Any advice or harsh/honest words are welcome. I am a first year medical student and I have had some academic trouble. So I found out that I failed a unit and I will be remediating over the summer. My dean made it sound like my ability to do anything relatively competitive is basically over...

Hey guys, I could really use some advice here. I am an International Medical Graduate of 2013 and Step 1 score of 208 1st attempt, CK 232 second attempt, CS passed first attempt, 2-3 years of United States clinical experience, and a U.S Citizen. I have applied to programs all over states in...

It's almost time for residency apps, and after rotating through peds and OMFS, I feel extremely torn. I really liked both specialties for completely different reasons, but I don't really have any info on either as far as admissions stats go. Does anyone have any info about requirements/which...

Is there a place where all the available residencies are listed each year with programs details? (e.g. website I assume). Ideally that can be accessed by someone who is not applying this year. I already know about Scutworks, so other resources preferred.

How much does residency training at Ivy League schools/programs come into play when applying for a job? or having it on your CV?. For example, say I am between Michigan vs UPENN or Pittsburgh vs Columbia/Cornell. I know Michigan and Pitt PM&R programs are great places to train, but does having...

Does anyone know if any PGY residencies start in the fall? I ask this because I had a late start on rotations due to injuries. So instead of starting 4th year rotation in the summer, I started in the fall. Im wondering should I still apply for residencies this year, or should I wait until next...

I've been meaning to post this for a year or so, but here it goes. One thing matters when you rank your options. One thing above all else. You'll encounter a lot of advice and methodology for ranking programs; people will record sedations, talk about osteotomy numbers, talk about their areas of...

Hi, Currently an M4, going through the residency interview process. I want to know more about the Peds residency options in Chicago. Any thoughts on UIC, Advocate Christ, or Rush? I've heard mixed reviews from about 5 years back, but wanted to get a better understanding of the current...

ok I'm confused I am intrested in becoming some type of doctor pertaining to fetal medicine. However i know that Maternal-fetal physicans only do fetal intervention not fetal surgery and i want to be surgical. I am also intesrted in fetal surgery but i also want the be involved in treating high...

I am currently in a FM program that is looking for DO graduates interested in starting in January 2018. There is really no way to advertise this, so we thought we'd try forums like this. Please reply if you are interested or would like to know more.

Hi everyone, I am still an undergrad student pursuing two MD schools as possibilities (two DO's as well). My questions are more about residencies, however. I am mostly interested in psychiatry and neurosurgery. I am wondering...how difficult is it to land a spot in a neurosurgery residency? How...
