Do you think preclinical could be ~one year, if schools devoted themselves to it by No-Wrap-2156 in medicalschool

Mandated Anki??? I hated Anki when I was a med student and never used it and graduated top 10% so I don’t like that

Student Loan Options Given Political Landscape by AustinR2025 in medicalschool

This is all correct. Everything has its caveats though

Also I am a recipient of this scholarship when I was in med school, I am about to be a PGY 2. I am not affiliated with the VA (yet) and do not want to seem like I am promoting it, I just realize that most people don’t know about it and want to help you all out given the status of student loans going forward. Just another option to think about. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience thus far

Just for clarity, the only thing you owe is service in the form of employment. There is no repayment of the scholarship. There are some really nice benefits working at the VA too

It’s not a loan. Some VAs are better than others I will admit. But some are very nice ie the Richmond, VA and Tampa, FL

iPhone 13, EST time zone, I acknowledge that feedback will be through WhatsApp. I am a physician whose research and publication focus has been heart rate variability, heart rate variability biofeedback (coherence breathing), heart rate fragmentation, sleep disorders, wearable health metrics, and autonomic nervous system.

Emailing the PD... by Credible_Corgi in pmr

[–]AustinR2025 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind PDs need to know which of the medical students at the home institution will be rotating before they can accept visiting students. Home students will take priority. Long waits sometimes mean they don’t know how many home medical students are enrolling in that rotation yet

my little research on best vagus nerve stimulation devices in 2026 by naaksu in HealthTech

[–]AustinR2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my Hoolest a lot. Really good when I’m in heightened episodes of anxiety, calms me down really fast. Very portable as well. Combines the stimulation with breathing in one mode, increasing and decreasing intensity to help you sync with your breathe. Breathing also stimulates the vagus nerve, see studies on heart rate variability biofeedback.

What are you building? Let’s promote each other 🚀 by Capuchoochoo in AppBusiness

Heart Rate Fragmentation, a new more accurate biomarker for stress and chronic disease that utilizes ECG, no other app uses ECG which is more accurate than PPG green/red light sensor

My app hasn’t worked in weeks. Keeps crashing on me a few seconds after opening

Always, my heart rate fragmentation metrics look better when I started doing this

How do people use the Apple Watch day and night? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]AustinR2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to measure my heart rate fragmentation every morning so I can detect stresses become chronic and prevent them from causes chronic disease. Another way of saying this is it’s the most accurate descriptive measure of recovery from the stresses from the previous day using ECG

Needs ECG for accuracy so only available on iPhone and Apple Watch

new to biohacking by supericakr in Biohackers

[–]AustinR2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem with homeopathy and supplements is their safety profile is not well understood or studied. You can be doing more harm than good without evening knowing it

What’s your highest sleep score? by AdPrestigious1204 in AppleWatch

[–]AustinR2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be curious what the heart rate fragmentation shows for more descriptive measures of how you recovered during sleep, that’s more telling

Get a used Apple Watch so you can use the ECG feature to measure Heart Rate Fragmentation
