em residency

Hi everyone, I'm a Canadian in 3rd year of med school in US. I'm interested in applying for EM and wanted to clarify some things. I kind of suck at legal things/ visas and want to triple check my understanding. When I was in 1st/2nd year Canadians at my school told me we could apply for only 4...

Hi Folks, Looking for some sage advice regarding the possibility of adopting an adult dog this year. I'm a rising intern, hopefully soon to be matched into an EM residency. Wondering how many of you would say this is something that is possible to do. Background: my family owned a dog when we...

Hey everyone, I’m in need of advice. I’m a DO student wanting to desperately match into emergency medicine. The problem is that I did horribly on my COMLEX 1 (410). I lost my son around my exam period and was completely devastated. Is all hope lost? Is there a way to overcome and match...
