My last "real" rotation was in October/November 2019". I think even premeds know more medicine than me at this point. I'm self-cringing already.
Yup. Initially I was planning on studying this month and a bit in June and take it before orientation. Now I feel will be lucky to take it by EOY.
The greatest. The greatest, most fantastic, year like nothing you've ever seen. It's gonna be huge.national guard moved into my new city that i'm flying into in a few days. what a great year
Haha thanks for asking! So stage one- move out of old apartment is done. My move in date at my new place got pushed a couple days. So currently my stuff is in a trailer at my parents who have very graciously agreed to help with the move. I’ll update in a couple days after stage two of the move.
moving in next week
Haha Thanks!
How did you know it was gecko poop specifically lol?
I am still not entirely sure if I'm supposed to have a license as a resident or not considering no one in my program responds to email.
I keep getting emails from my program and ive exhausted all channels at this point.
The board asked me to provide additional documentation aka a document I already provided so now I’m in a tailspin wondering if it’s not sufficient even though it’s the exact document they requested. I would feel so much better if I could just call and talk to someone instead of uploading documents and hoping they stick?
I feel you on the paperwork. And so much of it is redundant too.
I tried calling and not surprising, theyre closed. Ive submitted everything I can. My school has to send in a form, which they say they did, but the board still doesnt have it. So i have to just ride it out now.
My program’s HR office has been closed but still giving appointments to people to come in even though they’re closed... covid is making this more difficult than it should be.
My program’s HR is still open.
Before you buy I’d make sure you’re allowed to wear them. My hospital, for example, only allows residents to wear scrubs they provide. One can’t wear outside scrubs
Already confirmed it is okay!
It’s the Hoop, Ruck, and Wiwa one. It’s huge lol
That's annoying. My chefs were nice about it in just saying "hey we don't have the schedule finalized yet so just request what you want and we'll do our best to accommodate you."
I would have made the reference if you hadn't beat me to it, lol. It was a near-perfect opportunity.
Just imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by seahorses. It's gonna come out really nice.
Based on interviewee photos that were handed out at some of my interviews, most people smiled and those with beards of any sort made sure they were well-groomed. Angled vs straight and teeth vs no teeth should make no difference. Just do what feels comfortable and is normal for you.

You’ve gotten great advice so far. I too had a dreadful school photo and was also super neurotic about this, no worries. I ended up just having my partner take it because I knew I would probably look the most natural with him behind the camera. We took a bunch in different lighting and background conditions. Then I had a friend do some standard subtle “photo edits” - light correction, a little skin smoothing, zit removal, teeth whitening (third year was the year of coffee) so that I would look like the best version of myself.
Imagine coach put you in fourth quarter and you were the state champions.
I was wondering the same thing. Part of me is so excited to start and another part is going to sorely miss my current routine of waking up whenever, having infinite time to read, do yoga, go on walks, cook, complete tasks, talk to family/friends, spend time with my partner, and re-binge Star Trek.
Glad im not the only one who feels this way.
Part of it is that I have had no time to do these things until the last quarter of fourth year. Or it was all piecemeal. Some days I had time to cook something other than a TJs frozen option, some days I had time to pleasure read, some days I had time to work out, some days I had time to run errands. To have all of that at once is so impossibly lovely.
