We just got pulled off rotations for 2 weeks. I’m kinda scared how our school will handle this. I hope they come up with some modules or whatever that will count as credit for these weeks off. Hopefully no delays in graduation. That’s my biggest concern right now.

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.

I feel for the M3's though, making sure their clerkships get done and if they need to do aways, too.

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.

At our school, they canceled all electives and waived the elective requirement for seniors though they're still working how seniors are going to complete requireds if any left.

I'm only staying on my current rotation (which is an online EKG course) bc it'll be helpful but I dropped everything else I had scheduled after.

It'll be interesting to see what the ERAS panic thread of 2020 will look like. Sucks for the class of 2021. Hope this all blows over quickly for them and programming can resume as scheduled.

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

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.

Step 2 CS is a requirement for medical schools only or for board certification?
 
It would really suck then to have to take it some time during intern year

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.

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.

Dystopian/Apocalypse type movies are my favorites (not due to COVID though I am re-enjoying all the infectious disease-related ones) so my contribution that no one asked for lol:

Into The Forest (Netflix)

I think Wisconsin might be the only state that does not require CS for a training license...

Can anyone give an impression of how soon after Friday we can expect to be contacted by our programs? When does the on-boarding and all the employment stuff typically begin?

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.

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.

I'm so glad there are people leading the NRMP who can truly empathize to know how much it means to us that they're being gracious in releasing the results a whole hour earlier than usual. #blessed
