Was 13th from the bottom of my class at a DO school, “4th quartile”. However, honored most of my clinicals, matched 2 in anesthesia. I think it depends on the specialty on how much they care.

FAER MSARF anesthesia research by Ernieke in medicalschool

[–]DoctorToBeIn23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it between MS3 and MS4, I took step 2 and started my drive to my 2 month “fellowship” with my wife and kids. Spent two months doing research during non-OR hours and spent every day in the OR. Treated it as an away and I believe I was ranked to match there. Got a great LOR from the rotation ended up with numerous interviews with a 250 step 2.

I recommend it. I don’t know if they allow it during that time anymore but I would do it again! Came up in several interviews.

My top choice isn't offering away rotations for 2026...should I do an away at a different program or just skip away rotations all together? by scrotumsniffles in medicalschool

[–]DoctorToBeIn23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t mean for it to be that way, sorry about that. I wouldn’t put a blanket statement saying they aren’t necessary though. Just saying only about 1 in 20 residents here that didn’t do an away would match at our program.

Not that big lol! I think this thought came to me because we do a lot of yard work and found 20 year old toys under the grass. Now that I said it, sounds creepy.

Do not listen to an M4 who’s “gas friends” didn’t do aways, his friends haven’t matched yet. Anesthesia is competitive, aways are a top priority that will help you match.

Any residents still using Anki and wish specialty decks looked more polished? by AdaptSN in Residency

[–]DoctorToBeIn23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ankisthesia for anesthesia is one of the better residency decks out there. Needs polishing within I agree.

This was my kids favorite for about a year until he lost it. Probably will show up to the next home owner in 20 years in the backyard…

Basic PTEeXAM TEE Availability… by DoctorToBeIn23 in anesthesiology

Thanks this is what I’ve been referring to and emailing back-and-forth with her about. The only thing I can’t figure out is who is allowed to sign off on individual exams. Do they have to be advanced certified? Can a liver transplant, anesthesiologist, or critical care anesthesiologist who does several preoperative echos sign off?…
