residency

did anyone else see the AMA on Cedars-Sinai internal medicine residency? Any other applicants comment on what they saw on interview day vs. what this thread claims?

Hi everyone I’m applying for IM this year and there was one particular program I was interested in. I felt good after my interview and have emailed the PD a few times and always got a response back. I sent a letter of intent last week expressing interest in the program and all. Have not received...

what does mean for residency for me? I will be applying next cycle but does anybody know anyone that has been in this situation?

TL;DR I'm not sure if I'm feeling cold feet towards a specialty I had always enjoyed or if my body is telling me I should pursue a different path. Hello internet! I am a 4th year MD student that could use some help. We are getting close to residency applications, and I'm feeling a lot of...

Hi everyone. I am a 3rd year DO resident at an ACGME residency program in NY. I will be starting at a fellowship program in California. Part of the requirement was to obtain a medical license prior to the start of fellowship in July. From my understanding, I have to apply through the Osteopathic...

If you're interested in academic medicine and have a specific institution in mind, is it in your best interest to try to match there for residency? I have heard mixed things in terms of grad schools in general (ex.: certain fields/programs prefer to recruit professors from other schools in order...

Hey everyone, I'd like a career in academic medicine and shadowed nsgy and ortho the other day (applying to MD next cycle so still a long road ahead). I was thinking a bit into the future and kind of wanted to ask what the end goal of it all is. For those gunning ortho/nsgy/other comp long...

Graduating IM in a little under a year and a half. I am somewhat proficient in US - bedside IVC, FAST exams, etc, but I'm looking to enhance my skills and pad the CV. My GME has offered to pay for my POCUS Certification through the Society of Hospital Medicine. We do not have a dedicated...

When you are looking at a patient's chart in an EMR, is the patient's history of vaccines pretty straightforward to you? Or do you need to spend 5 minutes or more calculating what vaccines they have received (ie to avoid counting duplicates, ect)?

Hi! Are there any programs that have have been noted as malignant EM programs or otherwise not-the-best/sketchy? Specifics would be awesome but not necessary. Thanks!

Hello all, It’s Friday and I just received an invite to interview on Wednesday next week. However, I already have an interview with another program scheduled for that date. The program schedules through email and not ERAS, so there is no freeze date or ability to self schedule. I was...

Looking for information from those with an understanding of how this process works, specifically for OMFS residencies. How do programs create their rank list of applicants? I know everywhere is probably a little different, but there are also bound to be similarities and overriding patterns...

Hi! Currently a 3rd year freaking out about grades and being unmatched! Stats are below MS3 at a USMD School Scores: 260 Step 1 Pre Clinical: Did well, All A's Clinical Years: so far Honors in Peds/ OB GYN and High Pass in IM. Neuro AOA: Not sure yet especially with 2 HP already (and in IM of...

I'm looking into Med-Psych programs, but I know I need to be practical about a backup option because of my scores. I'm also not 100% sure what is "competitive" for these programs because while I know I messed up my Step 1 score, my 3rd year has been going a lot better than last year, and I've...

Hey all, I had something important come up on the same day of a scheduled interview. The freeze date on the ERAS self-scheduler has passed already, but I'm confused based on the ERAS user guide. It says that you can still cancel a scheduled interview date after a freeze date has passed. It...

Hey all, This is something I've been wondering about for a while that his piqued my intrigue and slight confusion. I'm sure (like with most things) it's my naivete, but I can't help but notice that this site really does not look on Georgetown too favorably. I've been searching through some...

So I'm an M1 at my state's allopathic program. I'm non-traditional, 27 yo, with a wife and 9 month old queen. Medicine is my passion. I'm super thankful to be where I am. I think it's incredible that I get to learn all this awesome stuff about the human body and then actually use it to make...

First, thanks for reading this! I know it is long. I am pretty set on FM. I love it to death. I also really love women‘s health. While I would love the added bonus of delivering babies, until I get closer to finishing medical school, I’m not sure if I want to dedicate so much of my time to OB...

I'm doing internship in Europe at the moment and I'll need to pick a specialty in April. The thing is, that I am completely lost and can't put my finger on what to pick. I find bad sides to every specialty when I think about it and because there are so many choices I have analysis paralysis...

I'm an M1 at a lower mid-tier school with pass/fail with internal rankings (which determine adjectives on Dean's letter to residency). I score pretty consistently in the low-mid 80%s on exams, which I would feel pretty good about given the pass/fail situation, except for the fact that the class...

Hello SDN I'd like to know. Can anybody here with any special insight on this, explain exactly how a candidate ends up on a Do Not Rank List? Does any faculty members, Program Directors or current residents have an specific vivid examples? If so drop them here so the masses can learn what not...

Hello, I'm new here. I will be graduating med school July 2022. I am a US-IMG looking to match into Gen Surgery or Urology Residency in the US (goal is in Texas). I understand matching is very competitive for IMGs. After looking at the requirements, most programs require 3 Letter of...

Hello SDN Member, I'd like to ask; Are there any members of this community that have gone to nursing or PA school after medical school? Please Comment below and Share your experiences with us? Also I'd like to ask. If you do go to mid-level school after going to medical school, what are you...

Me three days ago: “there’s no way I’m going to do a residency, I’m already so tired and ready to go into practice” Me on October 1st: “I should do a residency” Is this a mistake? Probably, but this could be fun.

Hello, Where can I find an accurate and updated list of only the 3 year long EM residencies to help with my ERAS application? There does not seem to be a way to filter out the 4 year long EM programs on MyERAS or FREIDA. The SAEM lists are not accurate or updated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I've been lucky (IMO) to be tasked with writing my own LoR for a surgeon I've worked closely with throughout medical school, mainly in a research capacity but a few cases in the OR. My main question is what do PDs/reviewers like to see in these letters? I'm planning on hitting...

Hi future colleagues (hopefully). I am a 3rd yr DO student who has had a terrible experience with medical school thus far. Ive been pretty dead set on doing peds but now worry that my chances are slipping through my fingers, if not already gone. What are the chances for a student with 1...
