It comes from your quote, "I’d toss around the whole med school thing and that was usually enough to snag an undergrad honey for the night," genius. Also the joke was regarding ID and STDs. Sorry you missed it.
I believe you can anonymously report these things to the LCME.
What?!?! The dean of the med school is a NP?
Seriously, stop trolling. It's getting tiring.
No, no. There is one lady who is an NP and has the title of "associate dean". Her job is mainly to coordinate stuff. She doesn't teach.
You want to go to a school that gives you wrong information about Step 1 to fulfill a primary care mission? Why?
Yes, I know. I'm referring to the SCHOOL's primary care mission. It seems like they achieve this by giving their students faulty information on licensing exams so they are boxed into primary care.
Well, luckily, you still have third year rotations, shelf exams, and USMLE Step 2 CK, so you can definitely do well by putting down, and destroying it. The game is nowhere close to over.
Not only that, they actively discourage us from applying to other fields. We got an email from the dean with something along the lines of "too many people are applying to competitive fields and we need you to lower your expectations". Also the advisors here really try to dissuade you from more competitive fields and push you to family med.
That's bc with match stats, they're trying to hedge their bets and don't want their school to "look bad", students careers be damned. They can't manually STOP you from applying to those specialties on their end, hence the emails to the class. This is well orchestrated with the AAMC.
Family Med; Peds/IM likely at community programs but university is still a possibility, Maybe Path if you're an AMG, Maybe PM&R if you shine on rotations.
You should qualify that you're a premed who knows nothing about the Match process.
Can an AMG get into psych with 220?
No I'm taking issue with your lack of knowledge of the process and your faulty clairvoyance.
Yes, definitely.
Where did I say that? Did you even read my response?
What does my specialty have anything to do with how trolling the OP was? Oh wait, it doesn't. It's just you being an ***.
Apology accepted.
What's awesome is that Psychiatry has some really wonderful programs with faculty who are really knowledgable and nice. I believe this is why they know not to use Step 1 as an all-encompassing metric of applicant worth (which it was never intended to be).
Aw don't be so mad. I was just joking. It was funny to me that this post, which was OBVIOUSLY a joke (you couldn't tell from the title? Well it's satire from http://blog.firecracker.me/2013/12/10/how-this-firecracker-scored-a-270-on-usmle-step-1/) and you came out with detective skills to expose the OP for "trolling." Not only that, you seemed really proud of yourself for being able to see the broad side of the barn in front of everyone's face and pointing it out.
No detective skills needed. It was quite obvious from the first line.
