scheduling

For those in the outpatient setting - Which office hours do you find are most in demand by patients? As I get to be nearly full time in my practice, I'd like to block off some time to work out. Any advice as to the best time to do that, from a scheduling perspective, would be welcome.

Hello, I know this forum is kind of dead but if anyone is lurking and willing to share some wisdom about using Anki I would appreciate it. So I just started OMS-I at a program with a block curriculum. I did above-average on the first exam by watching osmosis videos before lectures, going to the...

Rank these courses from most to least difficult, please: Genetics OChem 1 Physics 1 Ecology Biochem Intro to Neuro Human Physiology I want to take 2 of these courses over the summer, 3 at the same time in the fall semester, and the rest I will take later. What combination would be the most...

So I'm planning to take 5 sciences in one semester. Intro to Human Physiology Organic Chem 1 Physics 1 Genetics Intro to Neuroscience (21 hours weekly) no labs this semester except for a bio lab. It comes out to be 16 credits out of the 18 max I can take. Am I crazy or doable? I'm doing...

I feel so incredibly lucky to have received an II, but the two dates available are either in two days or the last week of February. I would be driving up for 6-7 hours, so travel arrangements are not an issue. I would prefer more time to mentally prepare, but I don't want to risk the rolling...

I'm using Gmail and Google Calendar right now, but it seems a little overwhelming being attached to my phone 24/7 (or at least during working hours on weekdays), especially when I'm on interviews. Is there an app or program or something to help with this?

So I'm trying to schedule my step 2 CK date. I have a narrow window for when I can do it. But Prometric has no dates available after February. It's not that they're booked out. They aren't available yet. Anyone, from past experiences, knows when they will be released?

I know the USMLE scores get released on Wednesdays but I'm wondering how does it work if I take the CK on a Friday. Will the 3 weeks be the third Friday and the reporting on the next Wednesday or it counts as the third Wednesday? I'm asking this because all I'm missing for the September 15th...

Hello, I don't know if this is in the right place.. I have only posted one other time and didn't get yelled at, so hopefully this is okay too haha. I'm going into my second year of school, I am 27 years old, so my first 2 semesters consisted of your basic classes at a CC (humanities, English 1...

Whenever I go to optometry school, I will be faced with the challenge of finding a home, getting a job, moving, etc. All of this including the stress of admission, financial aid, and overall focus on study. This is a challenge I'm accepting, and I am prepared to create a high-quality, positive...

I am scheduling for my senior year of high school soon, and am a little conflicted on what classes I should take. This year I am taking AP Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology 1, Honors Pre-calc, as well as AP Comp Sci, and a Digital Electronics Engineering class (PLTW). My main conflict is whether...

I graduated with my Biology Degree in 2016. I studied incredibly hard in college so I'd say my knowledge base WAS deep, however it's been over a year since I was in school. So that's 2-3 years since some of the beginning subjects (I changed majors to Biology in the Spring of 2014). I picked up...

Hey everyone, Hope your semester is off to a good start. So just need some advice/insight, especially if you have already taken the MCAT.... please + thank you! I've going to be taking the MCAT in April (tentatively) + was wondering the best route... I had my eyes on The Berkeley Review...

Hello all. I have come yet again for the advice of the pre-allo people. I am in a position where I am finishing up applications to do research abroad, and am trying to think ahead. The program is 9 months long, and I can start it at any point between July of 2017 through the end of the year...

I'm on a Fulbright grant until early January 2017. I went through committee early before I left and have everything ready to go for application. It seems silly, though, that I'm going to get my application submitted in June and not be able to interview until January. So, a couple questions...

I'm IMG, applying for 2017 Match. Currently I'm waiting for my scheduling permit for step 2 CS to be issued, but I looked up available test dates on this site csess2.ecfmg.org/calendar.aspx and if I'm seeing correctly first available test date is September 19th. Is that possible? I was hoping...

Hi all, So I am a 3rd year medical student, soon to be scheduling my 4th year rotations. I am hoping to go into PM&R but am having trouble figuring out what programs are appropriate for me to be striving for. I want to start planning which away rotations to aim for, and don't want to waste my...

Hi Everyone, So this is the situation im in. I currently have Physics 1, Physics 2, and Biochemistry left for pre med classes. I am a second year and am finishing up orgo 2 this spring. I plan to take my MCAT the summer of 2017 and apply to med school that fall as well. How should I go about...

I am an MS3 at a US med school and have to make my schedule for the coming year soon. I have perused the existing threads and found info for other situations/specialties, so I thought I'd post and see if anyone has advice specific to my situation. Questions I have: 1) When should I take Step 2...

I have been 'cleared' to schedule the DAT. I apply in this cycle - when would be the best time to take the DAT? I was thinking sometime mid-May.

Hi everyone, I want to take the MCAT in May 2017. I want to finish all my prereqs before Winter 2017 so I can use that semester (plus all of May) to study for MCAT. Here is my proposed schedule (I'm a Spanish major btw and already took Gen Bio, Gen Chem and Calc). Winter 2016: Genetics Physio...

How far apart will USMLE let you schedule the multiple choice question (MCQ) part and the CSS part of Step 3? I am running into problems getting time off back to back and so it would be really helpful to know ! Thank you

Hi All, I want to reschedule Step II CK to facilitate visiting my family for Thanksgiving. There are no dates available on Prometric at this time at the testing centers I need. I did a comprehensive search on both the internet and this website regarding this question, but found it hard to...

In anticipation of interview invites, I have a question about scheduling for interviews. For programs that participate in the NRMP, does it matter if you interview at these places early (Oct) or late (Jan) in the interview season? I would actually imagine that it would be advantageous to...
