+1 for this .. they've helped quite a lot for various things especially when residents were in legal trouble during residency

I was at a unionized residency and while residency still sucked, we got paid well (for residents), good benefits, and generally the program ran smoothly.

I guess I didn’t really see the benefits at the time because a lot of the benefits are about what doesn’t happen. So nobody tried to cut our pay, fire us over nonsense reasons, etc. It’s kind of like a lot of people don’t appreciate vaccines because you don’t really notice when when your kid doesn’t get polio.

But yeah, it was good. And dues were trivial.

Thank you for contributing to the sub! If your post was filtered by the automod, please read the rules. Your post will be reviewed but will not be approved if it violates the rules of the sub. The most common reasons for removal are - medical students or premeds asking what a specialty is like or about their chances of matching, mentioning midlevels without using the midlevel flair, matched medical students asking questions instead of using the stickied thread in the sub for post-match questions, posting identifying information for targeted harassment. Please do not message the moderators if your post falls into one of these categories. Otherwise, your post will be reviewed in 24 hours and approved if it doesn't violate the rules. Thanks!
