    Hi, if anyone recently has had experience with the endodontics residency application process, could you kindly answer the following questions? 1) if applying early is important, what would be the latest date that is still considered early enough to be competitive? 2) Is it possible to submit...

    How much should I let the competitiveness of fellowship matching dissuade me from going IM (or more broadly, from going into any prelim position)?

    I'd love advice, or just other people's point of view, or how people in a position similar to this have handled it. If I would not be happy as an internist for the rest of my life, or in gen-surg, should that be a red flag to me that I should consider not going into those fields with the hopes...

    Mayo Florida PM&R residency

    I took the info page down now that the website is up and running. Mayo’s social media policy (though I don’t think an anonymous forum would apply) is pretty restrictive, so it was easier just to take it down. But if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

    Beware of Hawaii Psychiatry Residency

    University of Hawai'i Psychiatry Residency is risky because of its legal structure, culture, and recent history. Legally, it is unique because residents are employed by a corporation known as Hawaii Residency Programs. HRP is employed by the University of Hawaii. This gives the program...

    Psychiatry as a Specialty Choice

    When I was growing up, I had always thought I'd want to be a psychiatrist. I then experienced significant emotional and, at times, physical abuse at the hands of a family member, and that family member ultimately committed suicide. This whole situation is incredibly complex and not really...

    UT Houston’s Malignant Anesthesiology Program

    Are US MDs unlikely to get interviews at programs with very few US MDs?

    I see a lot of residency programs with <10% US-MDs. Is that a function of them being less competitive (not attracting a lot of US-MD applicants) or them just preferring DOs/IMGs and being unfriendlier to US-MDs? Basically I want to know if these are worth applying to at all as a US MD.
