I doubt hospitals are going to adhere to the <50 people gathering rule. I cannot fathom having a later residency start since the residents leaving will leave a dent in the number of hands on deck.
Had friends last year get orientation packet emails later that day.
Our school initially told us rotations would proceed as scheduled but after a HUGE push from the M4's they pulled us for a week and one of our Deans had to come out and tell us not to worry and that they would make sure we graduate on time.
Same boat. I'm on an elective right now and the coordinator told us that they can't guarantee credits for us. We have been there for two weeks so I'm hoping we at least get two credits there but then I'm still 1 credit short for graduation...
I would be absolutely shocked if any school allowed this to impact any M4's ability to graduate. The only related scenario I can imagine is if someone hasn't passed CS or CK. I know different schools have different graduation requirements regarding Step 2, but even in that case I have to believe it would be waived. These are extraordinary circumstances.
Just had a thought. It would be amazing if schools could pool resources and let fourth years do “away rotations” with other schools online courses. Mine has an integrative medicine online course, I would totally take an online EKG course. I know schools don’t have an abundance of online courses individually or a lot of time and availability to develop new ones now. I’m willing to work and learn for my last few credits but want to do it safely.
That would be really cool actually. Unfortunately, schools can't even get their own shhh together, let alone collab with others haha
My school is waiving step 2cs for graduation.
Maybe the one good thing that comes out of this is step 2 cs goes away (forever). Unlikely but one can hope.
apparently 107 seniors matched without a pass in step 2cs. most were suppose to take it in march but due to the NBME cancelling step 2cs until April these seniors might not graduate in time. Most, if not all, schools will waive the step 2 cs requirements for graduation.
well, you need step2 cs to apply for step 3. So indirectly, yes?
I believe residency programs will be flexible and they can probably take it on may/ june and get scores back in June/july. It only makes sense.
Ive decided on Cheesecake Factory, wine and vodka. Plus my husband and the two cats.
Must be nice! I’ll be home schooling my older kid while trying to keep my toddler busy enough to stop annoying her
What movie? Since we’re pulled from rotations and stuck at home, I’m looking for suggestions
The Shawshank Redemption
MASH is a long time favorite. If we ever get drafted I’m committed to being Hawkeye Pierce irl
I’ve never watched MASH as an adult, I just remember watching my grandparents watch (reruns of) it. I’ll add it to my Hulu.
I think Wisconsin might be the only state that does not require CS for a training license...
OMG, I just watched that the other day, such a great movie that feels like it hasnt aged a bit.
I've read some programs begin that very Friday in the afternoon
most programs contact you Friday, if not by Monday to at least say congrats and discuss next steps. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is delayed a day or two as they may have to adjust orientation schedules with COVID.
My roommate last year received a call from his program on that Friday afternoon.
I could see my celebrating drunk ass answering that call now. Thanks for the heads up to hold off on celebrating too much too fast.
It's good to set low expectations from the very beginning.
Try to postpone until at least 5PM EST on Friday, then go crazy.
This. Has. Happened. Seriously.
This. Was. The. Result.
I was very disappointed. I thought they decided to say screw it and go on and send the results out.
Me too! And I'm the appropriate amount of inebriated to take a less than ideal result well. Plus my school was already sending them out at that time.
Think you can maintain that level of inebriated until Friday at noon??
