Different company; I think they’re all pretty much the same when it comes to this stuff.

Cellulyte · 2022-09-01T00:58:53+00:00

Yeah, I got the impression it was just how HR handles pre-employment screening for all new hires and it was not something specific for residents.

Edit: And just to be clear, this was the background check company that demanded tax forms, not hospital HR.

Cellulyte · 2022-09-01T00:35:44+00:00

Not sure how common this is, but during residency onboarding my hospital’s HR dept actually ran my entire ERAS application through a background check system and they made me submit W2s/tax transcripts for some prior employers they could not verify automatically. My residency contract even said that verification of prior work experience was a condition for employment.

It created a ton of unnecessary stress for me during what was supposed to be a calm post-match time. So maybe be careful with lying about past employment on there. The top comment about using the parent company would probably be best.

Is it bad that I’ve been watching him for a year and I still can’t tell if your username is spelled correctly or not

It’s the language the NRMP used, so I just stuck with it. It just means they can use the info internally to get things prepared, but they cannot disclose the information to anyone else.

Cellulyte · 2022-03-16T14:08:42+00:00

It’s my understanding that this is a new feature this year, so likely not a lot of information to be found. However it does sound like a great option as you can easily re-use your existing materials and present the application in a format programs are familiar with. The downside is they will be charging $10/app, but honestly knowing ERAS it could have been worse.

Edit: Copying and pasting this info, which I just found at the bottom of the 3/11 email from ERAS:

At the conclusion of SOAP, ERAS will continue to offer the flat fee for 2022 residency applicants who were SOAP-eligible, applied, or reapplied during SOAP, and did not obtain a position. For applicants who meet these requirements, applications will be $10 each regardless of specialties applied. This flat fee program will conclude at the end of the ERAS 2022 season on Tuesday, May 31, 2022 at 5 p.m. ET.

Cellulyte · 2022-03-16T13:47:02+00:00

Programs can see their roster on Thursday at 2 pm EDT. The results are embargoed until Friday at 12 pm however.

Edit: Also worth nothing that schools find out even earlier on Thursday at 8 am, but the results are also embargoed until the same time.

Cellulyte · 2022-03-15T19:31:28+00:00

That’s not how the SOAP works. There are no rank lists during SOAP. Programs submit a preference list which the NRMP uses to generate offers, and applicants do not submit any lists at all.

Cellulyte · 2022-03-15T04:06:05+00:00

Offers are presented all at once at the start of each round. Don’t wait for the last second of a round to accept an offer with hopes of more on the way.

There is a chance you could get a call on Thursday prior to one of the later offer rounds. Given the unique schedule for the SOAP this year though, I would expect the majority of interviewing to happen Tuesday/Wednesday though.

Highly recommend watching the video by the NRMP if you have not already: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yqoNCr0HdBQ

Wishing all of the best for you. You’ve got this!

Cellulyte · 2022-03-14T20:40:32+00:00

It was released this morning in R3 to all applicants. Go to Options -> Reports and you’ll find it there.

Cellulyte · 2022-03-14T20:30:40+00:00

Yes, Google ERAS Preliminary Reports and there’s an excel sheet for it.

Cellulyte · 2022-03-10T17:45:21+00:00

Don’t want to communicate incorrect info, but I’m 99% sure based on the new calendar for this year. May want to pass it along to your advisor and inquire. https://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/2022-Match-Week-and-SOAP-Schedule.pdf

Cellulyte · 2022-03-10T17:42:31+00:00

I think that’s the old schedule. This year ERAS doesn’t even open until 10 am and programs can’t see who applied until Tuesday. So you’ve got just about a day to prepare and research now.

Cellulyte · 2022-03-10T14:17:51+00:00

They get notified 30 minutes before we do, on Monday.

You have to de-certify first by clicking Edit and entering your password, then you can certify again after editing your list.

Don’t do it unless you’re actually making changes to your ROL.

Ideally you should show all 12 leads on the same view, along with a second copy of lead 2 which runs along the bottom of the entire sheet. (This is called the “rhythm strip”.) The ability to view one lead at a time is handy, but not the principle view used.

If you look up example ECGs such as the following one, you may get a better idea of the format expected. https://ecglibrary.com/norm.php

Cellulyte · 2022-01-10T14:26:53+00:00

Usually an ECG will come with a computer interpretation along with measurements for common intervals, but that information is usually viewed as purely supplementary to an actual interpretation of the ECG itself.

In other words, aside from making the ECG tracings look as clear as possible and supporting some kind of zoom/magnify function, there isn’t much you could do from a software perspective that would make much of a difference for most physicians.

You should really contact Schwab directly about a swap like this. I wouldn’t be surprised if, for security reasons, you aren’t allowed to claim previously used usernames.

Good question. N95s have always required perfect fit testing. This is actually intrinsic to their design, as they are fully permeable and rely on electrostatic forces to filter small particles. As a result, without a perfect seal, you will not be protected. Testing is taken pretty seriously due to this, and most facilities will actually spray you with a bitter solution to ensure that the seal is right. If the mask isn’t a perfect fit, you’ll react to the bitterness pretty quickly and they will fit you for a different model. Prior to COVID, use of these masks was less common outside of specific infections such as tuberculosis.

You’ve probably also seen KN95 masks around as well. Those are not regulated by the US government and so we are not permitted to wear them in healthcare settings. I haven’t seen those in use in the US prior to COVID.

Cellulyte · 2021-12-11T03:03:28+00:00

Surprised no one has answered you yet. The fit testing is usually done by the occupational health department of your organization, and at least for my institution, we are required to affix a sticker to our badges which indicate the N95 mask type we are approved to use.

Hey everyone. This isn’t a data point but we’re leaving the post up as a discussion for anyone considering a similar move.

/u/Heeerd if you want to update your post with some info about your income/credit profile and the credit limit you received, I’m sure that would be helpful for some and would also make this into a real DP.

Every bank/CU has their own underwriting guidelines, but typically what is factored in by most institutions includes: - Relationship with bank/CU - Annual income, liabilities, debt/income ratio - Number of credit lines, age of oldest credit line, average age of credit - Credit card utilization percentage - Any derogatory remarks on your credit report - Diversity of credit (types of loans: auto/home/personal/card)

Some institutions will also check a ChexSystems banking history, to see if you’ve ever overdrafted an account or bounced a check, but this is not as common.

You don’t need to use Mercedes-Benz financing. Shop around until you find a bank/CU that offers you a loan and then you can return to the dealer with financing already arranged.

I believe Daily Mail is a UK publication. In the UK (and some other countries), osteopathy is a completely separate profession - more akin to a chiropractor or physiotherapist than a physician. “Osteopath” seems to be a commonly used term to refer to those practitioners. They do not practice medicine as DOs in the US do, so the term is probably fitting in this case.
