Failed 1 class in OMS1 and will be repeating the semester. Is there any chance still for me to match into EM (the field im interested in), or am I going to be limited to FM/IM? Are there any other options like neurology that are still possible? Would love to hear any success stories to raise my...

So I'm currently in my third year rotations and am debating between pursuing two very different fields, interventional radiology and pediatric neurology (but hear me out). The parts of this decision that I am considering are lifestyle, procedural, salary, and doing what I like. Interventional...

I’m a D4 student, and I’m interested in prosth, perio, and oral surgery. I’m interested in doing things like extraction, full mouth rehabilitation, all-on-4, implants, anesthesia, and sinus lift. I can’t decide which specialty I like the most because we can’t do these advanced procedures at...

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...

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...

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.
