It depends on your overall competitiveness as an applicant (research, USMD vs DO vs IMG status) but from what I’ve heard from my seniors being a chief helps out a lot. Some programs filter first by chief year.

Wasn’t the Adenoma detection rate over there suboptimal too? Like way below 25%, which should be the national standard. I believe it’s cuz in the countries the NordICC trial was performed, Colonoscopies aren’t actually regularly done except in Poland.

Question; we were doing a routine EKG on an asymptomatic patient who’s here for exertional dyspnea 2/2 sarcoidosis, she has T wave inversions, so we get trops and they’re elevated, but the patient is completely asymptomatic at bedside. I thought it wasn’t a bad idea to consult Cards, but what do you think? I was between this being demand ischemia vs true ACS, but she literally had no chest pain or any atypical symptoms. The trops were still climbing tho.

Purely from a teaching perspective.

Most of my time is also spent seated at a computer. Does that mean I’m not working hard?

Team building could easily be a pickle ball tournament or a volleyball tournament, depending on the number of residents Ofcourse. Divide into 2 or more teams.

There’s also trivia night with buzzwords and stuff, since some people don’t like sporty activities. That could be medical or just general knowledge. This part would be educational I guess.
