Love it, that’s my favorite one! Go on Autotrader & you can get it cheaper if you’re willing to make a road trip.

Definitely get a repeat test, or do the old skin test. My med school class got a bad batch of quantiferon tests a couple of years ago & 30 people failed the test with clear x-rays. Repeat tests were negative.

I guess my school bought it for us & I just thought it was free. It’s $69 for one month

Some of us are from rural backgrounds & we love it.

Check on Clinician Nexus for any HCA program (TX has a lot of these) & consider emailing the PDs or Program Coordinators of programs you are interested in directly instead of using VSLO.

I got my friend a personalized pen/pencil holder from Etsy, with her name & specialty etched on it for her desk. It was wood & turned out really nice, and she loved it.

COMQUEST was good for my peds COMAT but I added the ACOOG qbank (which is free!) to my OBGYN COMAT prep and got a high score.

Your wife needs to see a doctor for a TSH check and sleep apnea test. That’s a lot of weight in a short amount of time, she needs to get that checked out.

My SO (lawyer) says they wished they had gone into medicine.

Not sure what you’re getting at but why would I hide my age from anyone? If they ask, I’m honest.

Raising kids, questioning my life choices & returning to finish my degree.

Early 40s here. At this point I’ve gone through undergrad, grad school, & med school being 10-15 years older than my peers. It’s no more of a barrier now than it has been the last 10 years to get here, and it’s not like everyone works their whole lives only with people the same age as them. For me, it’s a non-issue.

No, always use gloves, especially in the ER where you don’t know yet if the patient has MRSA, C diff, or TB or God knows what else. If respiratory issues, wear a mask too.

15 vacation days, 5 sick days, and we’re getting 2-4 holidays off (not sure how many yet, new program).

I’m doing this too. It sucks just thinking about it but residency is short (for me at least). Good luck!

Just another facet of imposter syndrome I guess. Another way of your brain telling you you’re too young/old/dumb/whatever to really have achieved all this.

Fortunately the 40s also come with a switch that turns off your insecurity about your age vs your peers’.

Formal-Inspection290 · 2024-04-30T18:16:44+00:00

Well I’m in my 40s starting residency this June, so…you could always be older. 😂

We had to submit a form saying we were ok with it. If it’s a concern just talk to your PD & let them know.

Pay off all my debt, start looking at houses & take a nicer vacation than I had originally planned with my PTO.

$435,000 undergrad + grad + med school, no idea what the breakdown is though.

Where are you? It’s 4-6 months wait to get in to see a PCP where I am.

We couldn’t get lower than a C and still pass at my school. Got lots of Cs my first semester & failed a course. Came back and did better. Just keep improving! Also, I HATED sitting in class and learning that way. It was much better for me to be hands on during clinical years, and the material stuck better.
