clerkship

I just wanted to sort of map out next steps in my life and I am weighing options and such. What should I should do when I don't match? Try to find a job and reapply? Give up? What happens if I find a way to survive the year and don't give up? medical school didn't go my way but I really like...

I am a 3rd year medical student, in love with both General Surgery and Interventional Cardiology. These have been my favorite clerkships, by far. I love the thought of being able to immediately fix problems and I love doing things with my hands. I don't love clinic, but I enjoyed surgery clinic...

Is anyone else disappointed with some of the clerkships they chose? When picking programs, the only reviews to rely on were SDN and APMSA 2019. I'm not sure how other places are, but my school didn't have a good resource for seeing what previous graduates thought of various programs. I've...

Hi guys, So due to COVID-19, my school had to truncate all the remaining clerkships, so 6 week clerkships are down to 5, and 12 week clerkships are down to 10. However, the scary part is that the grading criteria and percentile cutoffs are unchanged. We tried to reach out to our administration...

i'm about to finish my 4th year in med school (our course is 6 years) one thing that really irritates me is the way physical exam is so glorified and they keep telling us hypothetical stuff about murmurs and stuff (murmur timing, change with position and maneuvers and such) when in reality...

Hi, I was told by a friend 5 years ago that paying tuition during rotations was like paying the school to work FOR the school. Soon I'll be in my friend's position and was wondering why the system is like this? Is there a way to reform this? Protest? So rotation years are FREE? I'm not asking...
