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...

Hi everyone, As I have previously posted, I'm interested in pursuing a second residency in Emergency Medicine. I completed an Internal Medicine residency in 2017 and I have been working as a hospitalist since then. I'm ABIM board certified. Although the hospitalist gig has been good to me...

I have been with my fiancé for 6 years. He’s in his second year of gen surgery residency. I moved with him a couple of months ago and found out he has cheated not only once but throughout the whole relationship with different women. He blames it on the stress his career has caused him. Not only...

Fresh MS2 here - I keep hearing M4's (and some M3's) saying to not worry about being unsure of a speciality choice. However, I know there are certain fields that would definitely prefer to see speciality-specific research going into residency (from what i hear some (not all) include...

I am a second year FM resident in Ohio and planning on practicing in a rural ohio town. I'm planning on doing colonoscopies there as well...the FM doc who is there now is retiring. Does anyone know of any good physicians either in or around ohio that would teach and have taught endoscopy to FM...

Hi there! I am very interested in neurology and I'm wondering what sort of programs I can be competitive for. I just have no idea what to expect honestly. I am a 3rd year DO student. So far, my application includes: Step 1 - 233 COMLEX 1 - 610 Other - Founder/President of club (non-neuro)...

Hi! Is anyone that has started his or her GPR/AEGD residency aware of any unfilled seats in the program? There isn’t an official list posted anywhere, and emailing program directors has proven to be ineffective to. Thanks in advance!

Just started studying for step 3 and hoping to take it by end of the month since I'm on a relatively easy rotation in my residency program. Based on my past step scores (264 step 1, 275 step 2), how long do I realistically need to study for step 3? My thought was to spend most of my prep time...

Incoming MS1. Apologies in advance if this post sounds neurotic since I am asking for advice pretty early in the process. I was a really low-performing student (~2 GPA) in HS, and would not have made it into a medical school without doing research before ugrad started. Hoping to gain some...

There aren’t many discussions on this speciality. What do I need to do to get into dental anesthesiology? What kind of GPA and ranking are considered as competitive?

Hi everyone, I haven't been able to find much relevant advice for my specific situation, especially given COVID changes to the residency application process, so I thought I would ask here. I'm planning on applying to a small surgical subspecialty this year but unfortunately, my med school is a...

Has anyone ever used residency placement services like Mededits? It seems they only give consultation for hundreds of dollars. Has anyone got matched through them?

Seeking recommendations re: submitting "waived/unseen" LORs for off-cycle positions through non-traditional avenues (e.g. not ERAS/NRMP). Advertising vacancies do not note this requirement + ResidentSwap et al do not offer concrete suggestions/means for this... Would love to hear your success...

Hi guys, IMG applying for General Surgery, didn’t match this past cycle. I planned to take (and pass) Step 3 before Match day, but ended up failing (Score 197). I took Step 3 again and I’m currently waiting for the score report. I am trying to prepare for next cycle and be smart(er). UPDATE: I...

Hey guys, Need thoughts. I only took COMLEX 1 (~600), no step 1. I really loved child psych, peds, and FM rotations. -FM: Love that you can build relationships with adults and kids over time. Don't want to do many procedures or manage HTN and DM all day though...Long hours/exhausting? Some...

Hi all, I'm a 3rd year osteopathic medical student who fell in love with Internal Medicine as a field but did not do so hot on COMLEX 1 and Step 1. COMLEX 1 = 480 Step 1 = 204 I know these are not solid scores, but I want to do IM and ideally in a bigger city. I have no interest in pursuing...

Hi

Hey all! Planning on applying ophtho in '21-'22, but I'm without a home program at a mid-to-low tier school in the southeast. It's been hard to spend much time outside of a few days shadowing here and there, especially with the pandemic. So I figured to bring a few questions to the table here...

Hi guys, I applied for pathology this cycle and found out I didn’t match today. I had some red flags on my application like failed rotations and LOAs while I did soul searching. Anyways I graduated from a DO school in December so I’m sick of vacation by now and want to go back to work. I...

Can anyone give me any insight into how the General Surgery program at Stony Brook, NY is? I have been hearing/reading mixed things about it and would love to hear the experience of someone who knows more about it. Any Pros vs Cons? Would you do training there again? Family friendly?

Hi! I tried to find threads to see if this question was posed already but was unable to find! I am currently trying to figure out my rank list but truly confused on what to do. I’m currently confused between the following programs so any input would be great!!: - New York Presbyterian Queens -...

I’m in a dilemma between picking a clinical rotation site for 3rd/4th year. I have the option to go to a site that has a bunch of residents (almost all core) including EM residents but it’s really far from any family/friends. I’m 90% sure I want to pursue EM. second location is about 15...

I am really looking forward to becoming an OMFS, that’s the reason I got into dentistry in the first place. Now I’m in third year and I almost feel like I’ll never make to to OMFS. I was wondering if an OMFS resident at UofToronto could help me navigate through this process? What activities or...

Just as the title implies, do you believe an Orofacial Pain-trained dentist can incorporate this into their private practice? To me, it seems like no-man's land when it comes to billing insurance. Would you bill dental or medical insurance or could you bill any insurance at all? It seems like...

This post is regarding the University of Utah Ocular Pathology/Research Fellowship positions for 2021-2022. A year ago, I was shocked and terrified when I discovered I did not match into an Ophthalmology residency. I was lucky to have great advisors who directed me towards a pre-residency...

Hello everyone! I have a mild form of deutan(red/green) color blindness. I was wondering if any of you know if oral surgery residencies test for color vision? oral surgery is very competitive, and I don't want to work so hard and spend so much time just to get disqualified because of something...

I've been told to look into community based residencies and fellowships, but it doesn't really sound like something that's very unique to me.. I also read about what they are, and it sounds like a bunch of what I'm already doing, just at half the salary that I'm at currently. Can someone that...
