residency

Hi I’m an accepted MD student starting in 2024. I’m looking for advice if there’s something I could be doing during my current gap year that might help on a residency application. I am interested in surgery specialties, would it make sense to get more research? If research before med school is...

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...

Here's where I'm at right now, I'm a 2nd year medical student from Ethiopia , I failed my first preclinical year of med school twice...well failed once and withdrew once(which means no grades on the second attempt)....I passed on my third attempt(with a C in anatomy but B in everything else)...

Hi! I am an incoming PGY-1 who recently matched at a Top Radiology program located in the Midwest (R1 year starting '24). While I am tremendously grateful to have matched at a cush, world class program, I seem unable to shake my interest in Ophthalmology that flourished through multiple...

So I'm at a dilemma, and I'm not sure where to go from here. I've always assumed I would leave vet school and go into general practice right away- it's the pragmatic choice, after all, and I've always been a pragmatic thinker. Diving straight in would mean I could start getting a good salary...

Hello! I am a rising D3 student and have been trying to research AAP programs but some information has been very difficult to find. Are there any current dental students going through the match process or residents that can offer insight on types of programs (school based vs. hospital) and...

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...

Hello! I am currently a 4 yr international optometry student ( but studying optometry school in US). And I just got a position for residency. However, my OPT will be ending before the end of the residency program. I would like to get some opinions about how to work legally during that period. -...

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...

Hello! Current MS1; my long term plan is to be a community physician. However, my general question is concerning the title. I was speaking to an attending about this and she told me that going to an academic residency will make it harder for me to go to a community fellowship. However she said...

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.

I know that their classes are unranked, but they still recieve grades. Are these grades reported to residency programs during matching?

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...

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...

Hello, was hoping to maybe get some insight on a question I’ve seen a lot of mixed answers on. I’m wanting to specialize after vet school (most likely in neurology/neurosurgery or large animal surgery, could change of course) and plan to do 1-2 years of internship and hopefully a residency...

Hi, I am interested in doing neurology as my residency, currently 5th year (out of 6) of medicine in Europe. I also really like math and can’t help but wonder if math is used in neurology. I am aware that while admitting and treating patients there is no room for that but maybe there is...

For some context, I'm applying to a EM with an average matching score in the high 240's (so not the most competitive). I'm in the middle of a research year at a "top 20" medical school with P/F preclinical and honored every rotation other than neuro. I don't think I deserved most of these...

Hi Everyone, My partner recently completed residency and just finished her initial board certification exam. I think this is relevant to residents and current attendings because it highlights some issues with board certification and the pressures and culture of this profession. I hope we can...

I am morally obligated to warn others about UT Houston’s malignant anesthesiology program. The malignant faculty do check these forums. So, naturally, they will try to negate what I say, but I hope student doctors will hear my message. Malignant in the past, malignant currently, and will be...

Hello! I’m a 4th year army HPSP student and have begun seeing people posting on social media that they’ve been selected for the AEGD and already know where their residency location is going to be. Should I be worried if I haven’t heard anything yet? And should I expect an email stating whether...

M2 here pretty sold so far on going for anesthesia from my interactions with the faculty and anesthesiologists outside academics.

Whether they are malignant or at a remote location, I hear about the most competitive allot, but nothing about the least competitive to enter (for a DO) Essentially, My application is pretty bad, but I am on a surgery rotation right now and am falling in love with it. I don't care where in the...
