Just wanted to come on here and get everyone’s thoughts on what my eval for IM said.
story: my first core was IM. And the intern and the attending knew very well that I am interested in pursuing Gen surg/surg. They’d let me go down with our medicine patients and see their surgeries and scrub in, whenever that was the case. I made myself pretty clear that I’m surg or nothing. And they knew very well. Then- I got my final eval and it said, “ready to proceed to sub internship, knowledgeable” and a bunch of other adjectives afterwards. Didn’t say what subI or anything. I was a bit taken back by this comment. Because 1. It was my first core 2. Im not sure how it looks coming from my IM core?
if anyone could share their thoughts on this and how it would be taken by surg programs, I’d love to hear? I don’t have much experience with evals yet. I just found that to be an odd comment.
Thank you so much for your help!
