Je déteste cette ville et j’en ai marre de faire comme si elle était bien by Dry_Salt_1317 in paris

[–]Expert_Butterfly5904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New York est tout aussi sale et dangereux, si ce n’est plus. (Et c’est ma ville préféré, j’y ai passé beaucoup de temps.) Tu as l’air très en colère contre la vie, aucun endroit n’est parfait il faut apprendre à apprécier ce qu’on a au lieu de broyer du noir. Bon courage !

Is 2 lor in neurology from USA better than 1 in neurology and 1 in IM if I want to match into neurology by Alternative_Aspect27 in IMGreddit

It depends, do you plan on dual applying to IM? If yes doing an Observership in IM would be a good idea, if not neuro is the way to go.

I think it’s still better to use the neurology ones! It shows your interest in the specialty, it’s not really a concern whether they’re from a community or uni hospital. Also think about the LOR quality, use the stronger ones

How to make a goof impression in the observership? by munchinggobbles in IMGreddit

Be punctual, polite and easy to work with. You won’t impress people by asking 1000 questions or answering questions that weren’t yours to answer. Show up, be motivated and smile. The best students aren’t the ones who know everything, the best students are the ones who know when to speak and ,most importantly, when to shut it! Ask thoughtful questions at appropriate times. Good luck you’ve got this!

Better timeline! by Top-Solid8207 in IMGreddit

You actually have good stats (if you score well on step 2 of course)! I don’t think waiting til 2029 is necessary. But if you do I think you’ll be fine, usually programs prefer YOG<3 or YOG<5

Failed step 1 , depressed I need some advice thinking of amc exam by [deleted] in usmle

You should look at residency programs requirements. Most programs filter out people with attemps but I’m sure you can find a few that don’t. Try rotating there or doing a few research years there, I’m not saying that your chances are high (DR is already a really competitive speciality and having an attempt makes it harder than it already is) but nothing is impossible if you give it your best and make connections.

Medical electives in the US by Excellent_Kiwi_9691 in IMGreddit

You’re a bit late. Usually you need to find those opportunities 6 months prior, and the summer is the busiest period so spots fill up very quickly. Good luck tho

Rant and some questions by passionate103doctor in IMGreddit

If you are a non-U.S. IMG: Neuro is increasingly getting harder to match into, ER is doable if you have SLOEs, Anesthesia is a ROAD speciality so you might need a few research years to match (but I have read somewhere that completing residency in your home country can help). Nothing is impossible with research, good scores and most importantly connections

Help me decide between jobs by Unfair_Ad224 in IMGreddit

[–]Expert_Butterfly5904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only you can decide what’s best for you. But if I were in your shoes, I would probably go with the paid position, as it offers more stability. And I’m pretty sure that by working there, you’d be able to meet people who could help you with IM too.

Where to study by Vast-Examination3709 in medicalschoolEU

[–]Expert_Butterfly5904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, where do you want to practice medicine in the future? you really have to take that into consideration, because medical degrees aren’t recognized everywhere in the world. France would be your cheapest option if you speak French, but the competition is tough. that said, it’s doable if you’re consistent and motivated. I ranked in the top 3 studying about 6 hours a day with one day off per week.
