residency

Had to soap into a family medicine after failing to match to a psych program this year. Am planning to reapply next cycle but am worried the funding issue will hold me back. Does anyone know of any successful stories of a family med to psych specialty switch? Thanks

Hello! Does anyone on here have any experience or knowledge about the GPR residency at the Wilkes Barre VA Hospital? I’ve been considering pursuing a VA GPR residency and I was wondering if anyone could post their experience with this program and provide me with information about numbers of...

I realize this match season is over. However, I am an eternal optimist that believes the unexpected could still happen. I needed to reach out, in case a spot opens up somewhere. I am in New York right now, have a Green Card, and can show up for an in-person or skype interview on short notice. My...

Hi, Are there any specialties/ residency programs in US which don't make residents work throughout the WHOLE night?

Hi, I see a lot of residency that make residents work night shifts like 8pm to 8am. I hope those doctors are alert and healthy but that throws off the circadian cycle and is documented to be unhealthy. Are there any PSYCHIATRY residencies in US that don't force night hours/ "night call"? I...

http://safetynetsflorida.org/wp-content/uploads/Jan-28-IHS-Report-PDF.pdf Should this be concerning for any of us medical students interested in specialties that will have a much greater supply than demand in 2025? For example, emergency medicine is supposed to have a supply of 3220 and a...

I am a very outdoorsy person that goes outside on weekend trips just about every weekend to go skiing, biking camping, and hiking. I love to work hard during the week so I can leave campus on the weekend and unwind. I wanted some advice if this sort of lifestyle is possible in medical school and...

I have been interested in Cardiology since undergrad and despite keeping an open mind through med school, I still feel like it's far and above my favorite. One of my first rotations is an elective. Sounds like a great chance to get into a cardiology away rotation early on but being that I'm...

I wanted to get the community opinion on this news story in my city. Apparently, local hospitals are using the Physicians Health Program to push out doctors with disabilities or who may make a patient safety claim. Physicians with no addiction issues were being forced into 60-90 days of...

Hello, I will be a DO student in the next few months. I am just curious, how competitive are emergency medicine and anesthesiology as a DO? I understand there are previous posts asking questions like these, however I feel like the competitiveness might be changing. Would an average student be...

Hey everyone- I'm a 3rd year dental student starting to look into residency programs. Currently, I am deciding between specializing in Prosthodontics or going the AEGD route. I am leaning towards being very selective of the Prosthodontic programs I would attend which obviously would lower my...

Hello everyone, If someone has their MD degree from outside Europe, but completes residency in Europe, does it entitle them to work in any European country or only the country where they did their residency? Thank you :)

I just wrote a program to tell them I'm ranking them number 1, and the program director wrote back to say 'this made my day!' and that I should let him know if I had any questions up until I submitted my very final list. I'm trying to read this as a generally positive sign, and nothing else. It...

Just to give some background, I am a 2018 DO graduate that graduated last year but could not find a residency in the match because I had a PE score that I had to wait on(2nd attempt) which led to me getting no interviews. My scores are not good and the obvious red flag of failed boards counts...

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...

I was wondering since the main criteria of matching into OMFS is based on Class Rank + CBSE score with a good amount of EC (Externship, Research, LOR), how exactly does a H/P/F or P/F school help or hurt you. I've noticed a lot of the top Dental Schools for matching into OMFS tend to be P/F...

Hello everyone, first time poster (but long-time lurker)! Disclaimer: I've read basically ALL the threads on Applying to Psychiatry on "Psych vs neurology/IM/FM" and "Defending Psychiatry/Choosing Psychiatry", so it's not like I didn't search for answers... Disclaimer 2: English is not my...

This sounds silly but I know residents from my program (& from friends in other programs) are not comfortable AT ALL with refraction. Yet this is essential... so I'd like hear from anyone involved in a residency where the majority of residents are not only proficient but are strong in...

I know the general consensus is that away rotations are unnecessary and maybe even risky for IM. I am coming from a MD state school that traditionally doesn't send a lot of students to East Coast programs. Most students I've spoken to in my class are interested in staying more local, so some of...
