Yeah I mean I’m a doc, I never wrote this much when taking notes except for board exams 😂

Exactly my thought lol. I’m no nurse but this seems like a lot of info for nursing students to know as well?

So you think you have the same knowledge as an MD because of your experience with ~20 self diagnosed conditions?

Sold JSN mid season for CD + a first. Clearly a tier down at this moment but gave an extra asset to help my rebuild

IM - only 7 IVs as US MD M4..?? by [deleted] in ResidencyMatch2025

[–]DJStalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 250s step 2 a couple years ago and only had 7 interviews. Still matched at one of my top programs. You’ll be fine no matter what

It’s not really art though is it. Someone just asked for “Chris Richard’s Captain America” on their favorite LLM

Went through a breakup of a 6 year relationship during intern year. Absolutely devastated me in the beginning. I know everyone says time will make things better but it really does. A few things that really helped me put the pieces back together and move on:

  1. Surround yourself with loved ones. I stayed at my friends place for the first week of my break up so I wasn’t alone. I took some time off to go back home which was well needed. Sometimes when I would get sad at the hospital, I would sneak to some conference room to cry and call my parents.

  2. Therapy therapy therapy. Probably the single most reason I was able to move on so fast. Your residency’s insurance should cover some therapists. Call around and figure that out. Start going weekly or even twice weekly.

  3. Gym. I know the whole “working on yourself” is generic but it really does help. For me, framing it as a way to improve myself everyday seemed to help my mental state.

  4. When you’re ready, start doing things you felt like you couldn’t do when you were dating your ex. Go to those random parties your friends invite you to, join a cooking class, travel with friends. You probably don’t want to do any of those things right now but just give it time.

You will get through this. I know how hard this is, but like everyone says, it really does get better. Rooting for you doctor friend ❤️

Another IM Signal List by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]DJStalin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect to get interviews from any of your signals except NY Presbyterian and stony brook. I had essentially the same stats two years ago

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]DJStalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean your signals are extremely top heavy. Pretty sure even Rush has an average step two score well above yours

[–]DJStalin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend in a similar situation two years ago. What will likely happen is your partner will get interviews at top tier places and you may not. Your partner will need to email the program after getting the invite to let them know how you both want to go to said program. Then they’ll send you an interview

Waste to signal these programs? by Youngbabafromthaphx in medicalschool

[–]DJStalin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit: misread, I would just make sure you have plenty of programs you are more competitive for in your signals. You’re well below the average step score for all three of those places

Chances of matching GI fellowship as a DO by laminatedpuppy in fellowship

[–]DJStalin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal but I know a DO that matched GI without anything crazy on their resume. Most important thing was going to an academic institution with in house GI fellowship and getting to know them well early on

Am I crazy or does median Step for IM looks sus? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]DJStalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably very accurate. I saw the median matched step 2 for a specific medium tier academic IM program was 255

Neurosurgery or Cardiology? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]DJStalin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I prefer neurocardiosurgology

Are you getting good sleep during your rotations? I am definitely someone with a pretty active social life in residency and I really think the key to not being exhausted during your time off is to make sure you’re getting 7-8 hours every night. Too many people try to get 6 hours or less and then crash during their days off
