residency

Hi, I see a lot of residency that make residents work night shifts like 8pm to 8am. I hope those doctors are alert and healthy but that throws off the circadian cycle and is documented to be unhealthy. Are there any PSYCHIATRY residencies in US that don't force night hours/ "night call"? I...

http://safetynetsflorida.org/wp-content/uploads/Jan-28-IHS-Report-PDF.pdf Should this be concerning for any of us medical students interested in specialties that will have a much greater supply than demand in 2025? For example, emergency medicine is supposed to have a supply of 3220 and a...

Mt. Sinai Pros All lectures are recorded & non-mandatory Really cares about student wellness; many of the students seemed genuinely happy (as far as medical school wellness goes) Protected half-days every Tuesday (nothing scheduled after 12PM) & an examination system that allows students to...

I am a very outdoorsy person that goes outside on weekend trips just about every weekend to go skiing, biking camping, and hiking. I love to work hard during the week so I can leave campus on the weekend and unwind. I wanted some advice if this sort of lifestyle is possible in medical school and...

I have been interested in Cardiology since undergrad and despite keeping an open mind through med school, I still feel like it's far and above my favorite. One of my first rotations is an elective. Sounds like a great chance to get into a cardiology away rotation early on but being that I'm...

I wanted to get the community opinion on this news story in my city. Apparently, local hospitals are using the Physicians Health Program to push out doctors with disabilities or who may make a patient safety claim. Physicians with no addiction issues were being forced into 60-90 days of...

As the subject line states, I am a senior at an American MD school, applying psychiatry, with a CS retake pass. I was fortunate enough to receive multiple interview invites (all of which I attended), No other red flags, and all other Steps were first-time passes. With the recent increase in...

Hello, I will be a DO student in the next few months. I am just curious, how competitive are emergency medicine and anesthesiology as a DO? I understand there are previous posts asking questions like these, however I feel like the competitiveness might be changing. Would an average student be...

Hey everyone- I'm a 3rd year dental student starting to look into residency programs. Currently, I am deciding between specializing in Prosthodontics or going the AEGD route. I am leaning towards being very selective of the Prosthodontic programs I would attend which obviously would lower my...

Hello everyone, If someone has their MD degree from outside Europe, but completes residency in Europe, does it entitle them to work in any European country or only the country where they did their residency? Thank you :)

I just wrote a program to tell them I'm ranking them number 1, and the program director wrote back to say 'this made my day!' and that I should let him know if I had any questions up until I submitted my very final list. I'm trying to read this as a generally positive sign, and nothing else. It...

Just to give some background, I am a 2018 DO graduate that graduated last year but could not find a residency in the match because I had a PE score that I had to wait on(2nd attempt) which led to me getting no interviews. My scores are not good and the obvious red flag of failed boards counts...

Which perio residency programs come to mind when you think of a program doing lots of exciting new procedures or more advanced techniques? Things like AOO/Wilckodontics? Other exciting stuff that maybe wouldn't be in the normal realm of most perio programs. I am a D3 looking at externships in...

I was wondering since the main criteria of matching into OMFS is based on Class Rank + CBSE score with a good amount of EC (Externship, Research, LOR), how exactly does a H/P/F or P/F school help or hurt you. I've noticed a lot of the top Dental Schools for matching into OMFS tend to be P/F...

Hello all, Has anyone come across any community programs that have NOT used Step 1 to screen potential candidates for categorical GS positions? Does anyone have a good resource to look at potential programs in this way?

Hey guys, hope everyone is well! I am an IMG who graduated from med school in 2017, and have been preparing for the USMLE because I am interested in practicing in the US. I am searching to gain clinical experience in America, to further raise my chances to get matched in to a residency program...

Hey guys and gals, Quick rundown: I did some research my junior year of undergrad investigating the efficacy of robotics in K-12 STEM education. My old PI just emailed me out of the blue and said they are publishing the study in a top STEM education journal and I am second author. Does anyone...

I am currently trying to formulate some sort of study plan/schedule for tackling the CBSE, but it seems quite thoroughly overwhelming. There are so many study resources and so little time with which we, as dental students, actually have to study this material. I see my med school friends...

I am currently an intern in a DO FM residency. I am returning back to the medical field after taking a 3 year break. I was super excited when I first started , but once I started IM rotation in mid August, everything started falling apart. I realized I forgotten a lot of medicine and was...

Hello everyone, first time poster (but long-time lurker)! Disclaimer: I've read basically ALL the threads on Applying to Psychiatry on "Psych vs neurology/IM/FM" and "Defending Psychiatry/Choosing Psychiatry", so it's not like I didn't search for answers... Disclaimer 2: English is not my...

This sounds silly but I know residents from my program (& from friends in other programs) are not comfortable AT ALL with refraction. Yet this is essential... so I'd like hear from anyone involved in a residency where the majority of residents are not only proficient but are strong in...

Hi everyone! I am participating in this year's dental match for pediatric dentistry, and rank submissions are due in a few days. I am having a bit of an issue deciding between which program I should rank 1 vs 2 on my list. Some background info: Program A is extremely competitive, but I have...

I know the general consensus is that away rotations are unnecessary and maybe even risky for IM. I am coming from a MD state school that traditionally doesn't send a lot of students to East Coast programs. Most students I've spoken to in my class are interested in staying more local, so some of...

Curious to know about the post match experience. I didn't apply to any residency programs, but I am now thinking about post matching. I called the national match services and they told me when post match becomes available I can directly contact schools that may have positions. So, here are my...

It's time for me to set up my 4th year rotations. At my school we have the freedom to set up the entirety of our 4th year rotations. I am currently a 3rd year DO student who has decided that if all I did for the rest of my life was well child visits and look into kids ears I would be satisfied...

Hi all, Here are my clinical grades: Surgery - HP Ob/Gyn - H Family Medicine - HP Outpatient Internal Medicine - P Psychiatry - HP Neurology - H Internal Medicine - H Pediatrics - H As the name of this thread says, would these be considered "good" or "okay" clinical grades? i.e. when...

Hey ya'll, I am currently an M1 at a lower tier MD school with aspirations of matching at a top 10 (or similar quality) neurology residency. I have been consistently scoring in the top ~10% of the class on my exams thus far. Getting to the gist of it, I have been doing research with a prominent...

Quick question, if the program contact (on ASHP website) is different than the program director of a certain hospital, to whom do we adress the letter? Thanks!

Hi, I was really nervous about the match so I wanted some feedback on my current application status. I'm a U.S. MD grad applying for psychiatry. Failed step 1 and did much better the second time with an average score. Step 2 CS and CK pending (I know I have to work hard on this) Otherwise...

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I am a U.S. grad and I had trouble with Step 1 so had to take extra time for that so I didn't apply for the match my 4th year and will be applying the following year. When I talked to my dean about it and she seemed pretty okay with me taking...
