New student email signature

[YayPudding]

Hey folks,

I never really had an email signature, but I figure a professional one would be good for my med school email. Does anyone use OMS1? If so, how? YayPudding, OMS1?

Thanks

You're an inspiration. Short and to the point 🙂

Haha trust me, I've worked with very old physicians who weren't as tech-savvy and had to reply to my email just to ask for my email address. #atleasttheyfoundthereplybutton

Oh wow, that's like my grandpa texting me to ask for my phone number. At least he has dementia, so kind of a decent excuse.

I once went to school with a RD who, no joke, had:

Name
RD (percentile on RD exam), MPH (highest honors), highest honors graduate (year)
University X Sports Team Nutritionist (nutritionist of the year, year)
Hospital X Nutritionist (ranking of hospital in state X)
Graduate Asisstant - Email (I will not take emails regarding information present on syllabus)

I'm sure that psychiatrists/psychologists can write books on what an email signature says about you...

Exactly. Her email signature was always longer than her emails...

Nah man put both. Have a signature that is just a wall of text.

Don't forget to infuse a handful of inspiration quotes and some obscure latin phrases

[JB50]

Why would you lol

But if you did, make sure you put in how many II's you were offered, how many you went to/cancelled so people don't judge you for only having 5 acceptances, and how many were MD so we know your not stupid. Rejections is some added fluff as well as how many waitlists.

 

[750335]

When you are done adding all that, send an email blast to all the schools that rejected you so they can know what a star they passed up.

I got Grand Master in Heroes of the Storm this season. Should I be using this as my signature on my school and personal email? I have a screenshot and everything I could put in too.

 

[LutGholein]

I'd include your Diablo 2 character levels(if you have them)----I believe back in middle school I had a lvl 98 Necromancer. This is a huge selling point with the med schools and the ladies. Believe me.

I'm neither an adcom member nor lady, but I find a 98 necro impressive. I had a 96 pally and 94 assassin, but that grind to 98 takes dedication. I hope that found a place in your PS. Resilience, determination, all the qualities a med student should possess.

 

[LutGholein]

96 pally and 94 assassin

Now that takes effort. I suspect you spent some time in a LAN party or two in the Secret Cow Level beating the Cow King to get your characters to those levels. Nice.

I'd suggest not using your signature with classmates or professors in your department since it takes up so much space and looks pretentious. Just put your name, year (M1,2,3,4), and phone (if warranted). I'd pretty much only use the official signature for any communications outside the university since it looks official and like you know what you are doing.

Let's hope nobody starts the debate of "class of xxxx" vs "MD candidate xxxx" vs "medical student year x" for your position in official emails. It doesn't really matter. Take your pick.

Agreed, I don't think it matters. Unless your school has an official rule about it, and even in that case I doubt something like that is very seriously enforced as long as you keep it professional. I also usually remove the signature if I'm sending an informal email.

Mine is just:
Firstname Lastname OMS-III
School Name
Email Address

Don't do DO candidate though. Just do OMS-X

Simple,


First name Last name
X School of Medicine

...and then you get this smart kid in your class with an ultra sophisticated signature:

-J
