How much will not going to a top residency hurt me for fellowship applications?

Hi everyone, I will be applying for residency soon and am considering my options. I have always loved derm and have been working since before medical school to build my resume towards dermatology. I'm not going to go into a ton of info on stats but lets say I am an average or maybe a touch...

I'm an FMG working in the UK who is unhappy with the system,training and low pay (starting consultant/attending pay is 75k usd after taxes{82k before}, incrementally builds up to a max of 95k after 19 years as a consultant) here. I haven't taken the steps yet, but I was wondering if I should...

From my experience of speaking to other premeds, there seems to be quite a bit of misconceptions about certain medical fields that are blatantly wrong, like 40-hours a week surgical residency & training, matching into Im subspecialties right out of med school, or that EM is full of crazy...

Hello and thank you in advance for answering my questions! MS3 here - I recently enjoyed a short rotation in DR and IR and am starting to think about residency applications for next cycle. I'm sold on Diagnostic Radiology but haven't ruled out IR yet. I now have to decide what kind of...

As we are in the midst of yet another surge in COVID cases, I am trying to compile changes/adjustments programs have made or are making. As residents, we don't often know what goes on in other residencies and I think that hinders our own advocacy so I'm hoping by keeping this as a reference...

Does anyone know literally anything about this residency program? It’s formerly known as Lutheran. NYU says residents get the “same degree” as residents at the Manhattan location but everyone I speak to says they lab to rank the Brooklyn track much much lower than the Manhattan track. If any...

Hello! My question is: Does it matter where I go for FM residency? I applied to rural programs and urban programs, academic and community programs. all over IL (thats where i am from) and surrounding states also. I am interviewing to a good mix of places and the more confused I am getting as...

Applying to DR. Thoughts on this program? I’m a DO student. From the northeast. I’ve asked around but not too many people know. I’d figured i asked the internet. Thanks for your input!

Is anyone familiar with this pediatric dental residency program? I did check out their website, AAPD page, and PASS page. I would love to know more about it since I am considering joining this program. Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a YouTube video I made on my tips for finding a residency position outside of the match/switching residencies. I successfully switched from Radiology to Psychiatry (PGY2 position) myself and these are the things I did to find a position at a great program! I'm...

Hi all, hope you're doing well. I'm an MS4 currently applying into rads and was wondering what people's thoughts were on the (relatively) new combined 16 month DR/NM pathways available at some institutions? Is it worth it? Does it make you marketable? Can you practice DR and NM? I think it...

So I just noticed that I made a date mistake on my ERAS application. I put the start date of my medical school a year later than I actually started.... my graduation date was correct though. Not sure what I should do now since I've already submitted the application and can't make any changes...

Hello my fellow comrades, I am a PGY-1 FM resident. My program is unfortunately heavy on administrative tasks/scutwork/extra-clinical projects. One such task that takes up a considerable amount of time is logging our patients into an online patient tracking system. We have to enter in the...

Since they are not published or submitted, but completed case reports, can I include them under the research experience with a brief description since I cant include them under the publication section?

Hi all, I’m a 4th year student applying for internships. Im interested in surgery, neurology, and comp med/lab animal. I keep being drawn to surgery as a specialty as it would offer the most opportunity (and I enjoy surgery) - I would be able to do neurologic surgeries in addition to other...

Having trouble deciding which LoRs to send...Crossing fingers to match at a top 10, better than average step 1 & 2, mid-level med school, hoping for a career in academia involving clinical research. I have 1 IM letter and a choice of 3 psych letters to send. They are: 1. Letter from research PI...

Hey Guys, I am an MS4 applying to Radiology this month. I realize there are multiple threads regrading radiology programs in Chicago (Rush, U of C etc) but all the ones I could find are at least a few years old. Having said that, previous residents have posted and have regarded some programs...

Hello all, fourth year medical student here trying to decide between the two specialties (I might apply both- warning very indecisive with these types of decisions lol). Psych: I really liked hearing peoples stories and I am the type of person that tends to sympathize/listen to everyone despite...

Hi, I am non-US IMG looking to match into psych this year Other than step scores (step 1:254 step 2ck:269) I don’t have any US clinical experience or research Is it considered a red flag for psych programs? Should I be worried?

I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I'm not sure what specialties I should apply to for the upcoming application cycle. I was originally thinking Anesthesia but my performance in med school hasn't been the best and am not sure if I'll get in anywhere. I am seriously considering...

Hey all, Had to take some time off for a family health crisis and am now graduating on a weird timeline. I'll basically finish my requirements a few months after my classmates and will be left with almost a year off while I apply to residency next cycle. Anyone know of any jobs I could get...

Hey guys, interview season's about to come and I guess many of you who're not CODA graduates must be thinking of the same question that I had when I was applying - Does graduating from a foreign dental school mean that it's impossible for me to get into a residency? Hell no! And I'm saying that...

Hello all, interested in these 2 specialties and I am a 4th year trying to decide! I am starting my first inpatient peds (only have done outpatient thus far) next month so hopefully that will help determine. I am interested in doing rural medicine. I like the idea of full spectrum perhaps some...

For anyone interested in Anesthesia Residency, many residency programs across the USA are having Virtual Open Houses/Happy Hours so you can get to know more about the residencies and anesthesia. This is a great opportunity to interact with current residents in a low pressure setting. Link to...

In terms of applying to competitive residencies (i.e. ortho, derm, ENT) that were AOA before the merger, how much do these programs value COMLEX? From my understanding, many of these programs would put a lot of weight on comlex scores before the merger happened, so I'm wondering if they continue...

I am curious what would be considered the 'top' psychiatry residency programs that have accepted DO students? I know University of Michigan, Cleveland Clinic, and Mayo Clinic have all had DO psych residents, but was curious if y'all knew of other strong programs that have accepted DO students...

I tried not to stereotype my neurosurgery colleagues, but as a new PGY-2 working alongside neurosurgery interns in the ICU, some boxes keep getting checked constantly. I have a great working relationship with Physicians and non physicians from every other dept but huh, I'm not enjoying working...
