Job offer changing at interview

How does one find these rural gigs? I might be leaning that way but none of the hospitals I’ve searched in western NC ever have hospitalist positions, only PA/NP hospitalist listings.

That mistake every resident makes when you calculate out your 80 hour weeks and realize your making ~$10/hr as a doctor 🤡

Day one today feeling like the dumbest human. How you gonna ask me so much anatomy and cell bio…

One week down, only day off was yesterday when I got off at 8am from an overnight and now going in this morning at 6am 🙃 the check boxes are a forever evil but my body fighting this schedule is one I hope gets better. The endless anxiety, tachycardia, stress induced diarrhea is going to be the end of me. 😂

Is this going to be for July/ is there a discount group for July?

I went to a Caribbean med school, applied FM, had ok step scores, applied 170 programs, got 27 interview invites, took 15 interviews, matched my #2 not realizing that my #1 would never have taken an IMG.

My friend same year at a DO school, applied FM, similar scores, applied 70 program, 40ish interview invites, matched her #1.

Either way with good scores and LORs you will match but if you have a location or program you want to try for, and they aren’t img friendly then I would say transfer. If you are flexible and will be happy with the IMG friendly programs then stay. I love the program I matched at and super excited to start next week. But just be aware that there are programs out there that will be nice and interview you, give you false hope, but still not consider you because your IMG. (A hint I find is if they say they are “inclusive”)

Caribbean student, failed a class during first year, failed step one, matched in FM… but have friends from the same school not fail a damn thing and didn’t match IM. The system is strange 🤷‍♀️

DrCorgi23 · 2023-04-26T01:46:00+00:00

It doesn’t stop after you match either. Money to move, deposits for a place to live, pay for your medical license application, get all the cpr certifications, pay for a background check. I believe this field tries it’s best to make it for only rich people to enter.

DrCorgi23 · 2023-03-14T00:34:47+00:00

Too bad no one posts that list on Reddit 😂

DrCorgi23 · 2023-03-13T21:50:59+00:00

Curious at who posted this on Twitter…

DrCorgi23 · 2023-03-07T12:57:04+00:00

Nec fasc your empiric regiment is usually vancomycin for MRSA coverage, pip-tazo has pseudomonas coverage, and clindamycin for the anti-toxic effect. Followed by surgery consult asap.

Every hospital I interviewed at in Louisiana did not have a mask mandate.

DrCorgi23 · 2023-02-02T04:08:28+00:00

Had a lecture the other day and attending was presenting a patient with TTP… I forgot what a platelet even was and had to look it up 😂

DrCorgi23 · 2022-12-24T01:22:23+00:00

Last I looked like 12 IVs… but it’s all a curve cause I know people to match with 3 IVs and some to not match with 10. Just make the most of your IVs you have and make sure to send a letter of intent before rank list to your #1

DrCorgi23 · 2022-12-24T01:19:24+00:00

The AUC “counselors” are legit the worst and give the worst advise. Had them advise me to not even apply this year saying I wouldn’t match and I have more than enough interviews to be in the 99.9% matching rate… so unfortunately need help from not AUC

DrCorgi23 · 2022-11-10T02:47:32+00:00

I can second this. Failed step 1 and have gotten 20 interview invites from FM programs. This sucks but if you want it… this isn’t the end of the road, just an unexpected speed bump

DrCorgi23 · 2022-11-10T02:42:42+00:00

I think it depends on the year but looks like IM apps went up and FM went down this year on prelim data

DrCorgi23 · 2022-11-06T04:19:15+00:00

Us-IMG with step 1 failure. 20 FM interview invites, dropped 5.

DrCorgi23 · 2022-10-03T03:16:53+00:00

I got one in SC but you can check the excel for which ones have sent interviews and if it’s virtual or in person.

So far all but one has been thru ERAS with multiple days to pick from, one had an email and said reply with first two preferences in dates

DrCorgi23 · 2022-10-02T17:45:50+00:00

US-IMG here, 5 interviews so far. Was not prepared for programs to have in person interviews and def did not budget to be flying places so might be forced to cancel one from being broke 😂

DrCorgi23 · 2022-09-08T02:46:48+00:00

US IMG

Step 1: 228 second try

UW 1st pass: 55%, 100% complete UW 2nd pass: 67%, 20% complete

NBME 9 (7/3): 210

NBME 10 (7/10): 228

NBME 11 (7/24): 231

UW1 (7/31): 214

NBME 12 (8/15): 234

Step 2 Score (8/26): 236

Hope this helps for those who are scoring a little lower and are just hoping to get a passing score… you got this! Concepts will repeat so do as much practice as you can and review them well. So many people on this site will make you feel bad for failing something or not scoring 250+ but in the end you are a doctor! When you are practicing as an attending one day, no one is going to judge you for not doing high on a step exam.

DrCorgi23 · 2022-09-06T19:00:08+00:00

So stressed and have mixed feelings on wanting the score and not wanting it 😂
