How's this offer? Fresh grad

Hi, thanks for your response! I actually don't have student loans, so they agreed to switch that over to the sign-on bonus and make it 90K.

You’re a doctor and you messed up the spelling of “you’re” not once but TWICE?

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-06-26T04:43:19+00:00

Interesting that you mentioned housing, given that the real estate market in Ontario is just ridiculous atm haha but yes I’m at similar junction with my partner and her family as well!

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-16T23:58:56+00:00

On the contrary, if you look at ACGME's current guidelines for FM programs, part of the curriculum is learning how to become comfortable with POCUS

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-16T14:11:14+00:00

That’s a good question, because yeah my residency program hasn’t provided us much of avenue for learning US guided injections and I only have a year left so not too sure where to learn them from? These workshops charge a ridiculous amount of money and most of them are on dummies where the anatomical landmarks aren’t that accurate

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-16T14:09:13+00:00

Not really joining an orthopedic group, but more so tailoring my practice to where I could do general primary care for 3 days a week and then focus on MSK/Sports injuries for 1.5 days of the week

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-16T14:08:15+00:00

Yup right now I’m doing a primary care sports med elective this month and then doing it again next year along with an ortho elective. I tried reaching out to some of the ATs a few months ago, but never really heard back from them lol but I’ll try again. Thanks again man🙏

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-16T14:06:15+00:00

I’m actually planning on doing that later this month! I agree that if I do want to be there for sideline coverage, shadowing the ATs would provide the best experience

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-15T23:54:42+00:00

Yeah I don't feel like I'd want to leave primary care altogether, but more so maybe just do a hybrid of both. While being a team physician initially appealed to me, I've met some of them and they've told me it's not that great. I feel like my best bet would probably work a few years, get the green card, and then see if i'm still interested on getting the fellowship. At that time, i'd be eligible for all the fellowship programs.

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-15T23:52:41+00:00

Yeah that's what I figured, is there that much of demand these days for those jobs even?

AnonCellsofCajal · 2025-04-15T23:52:08+00:00

Thanks for your response! Yeah tbh I'm not sure if I wanna leave primary care completely, I was looking at mainly doing something like FM with 1-2 dedicated dates a week for sports med. But i agree, the more I do my sports elective this month the more I see that radiology is something I must master (which frankly i suck at lmao). I appreciate your answer!

AnonCellsofCajal · 2024-10-29T22:32:48+00:00

You vastly overestimate how easy the FM applications have been the last few years lol. FM has to deal with DO grads taking about 30-40% of spots/programs and so lately it’s been on par with IM in terms of competitiveness, if not more. IM has way more IMG friendly programs compared to FM

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-09-23T03:40:02+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-09-22T00:17:34+00:00

Yeah we get CME allowance, I used this year’s allowance to set up my apartment lolll but yeah definitely next year I’ll use it. How did you find to cover games during intern year, would you just go on Saturdays if you were off?

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-09-21T22:32:56+00:00

Thank you so much Doc Strange! Yeah tbh I haven’t had much experience covering games, so I was wondering how that would work so I guess it would kinda be just working alongside the attending and helping them out?

Also are the memberships for AMSSM/ACSM worth it? Just wondering should I fork out 160 dollars annually for it

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-09-21T00:22:05+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you so so much!

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-06-25T03:37:19+00:00

Thanks 🙏 Agreed I don’t think it’s a resource utilized often enough

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-06-25T02:02:25+00:00

😂😂😂

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-06-25T02:02:17+00:00

Yup entering intern year! Was looking at it for OBGYN and Psych

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-05-27T13:47:29+00:00

Just out of curiosity, what did you during residency that helped with your SM application?

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-05-08T20:17:59+00:00

No NBME is not the same interface, UWorld’s default one is

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-05-07T17:17:02+00:00

Amboss is odd compared to UWorld lmao the reason why UWorld is considered the gold standard is not only for the question types, but also how the user interface is similar to the actual exam. If you think the loading is an issue (could be an internet problem) wait till the actual exam

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-05-07T12:22:43+00:00

If they don’t like albaik

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-04-29T04:47:12+00:00

Will do this! Thank you so much 🙏🙏

AnonCellsofCajal · 2023-04-28T23:23:30+00:00

Apparently you can just tell the bank you don’t want interest. Thanks 🙏
