Long time lurker here. Just took my PE recently and have been scrolling through every post I could find for reassurance on the PE. My biggest concern would be whether or not my deficiencies may have resulted in a failure. Every passing day, I remember more and more things that could have gone better and certainly things that I totally missed but would have remembered on a good day.
I tried my best to treat every patient with respect and dignity however there were occasions where I would run out of time before providing adequate counseling or closure or didn’t have a more extensive history.
Thinking about this test and the implications in my future has been causing me tremendous anxiety. Every once in a while, I check for openings and it seems that the earliest to reschedule would be september/october. It’s hard not to wonder. I walked out of that test feeling very dejected and discouraged with having to spend all that money and fly all the way across the country just to have this uncertainty that my performance on this one day could derail all the hard work I’ve put in for the last few years. It’s almost as if we don’t already have enough factors working against us as DO students. If makes me questioned if going to DO school was the right thing to do at all. I’m reaching for straws here and desperate to find some semblance of hope to cling on to. This whole experience has been exhausting.
