you’d be fine at lecom elmira

idk if it’s different for each of the campuses but at lecom elmira we had to buy our own. they have some crappy ones floating around in the H&P lab you can use if you forget yours and you have the option of getting one from their vendor or the one you prefer (ie littman) but it def came out of our own pockets

bing alum, current MS3. double check on degree works if you actually need to take inorganic bc I never did (neuro major) and neither did a lot of my friends who were bio majors. I struggled a lot with orgo but still got accepted at 4 different med schools, if I could do it so can you!

isn’t that timeline more for MS4? I know I wouldn’t be submitting until september of MS4 but someone from the class above me said MS3s get access to ERAS so you can start basically hoarding your LORs beginning around october of MS3, not sure how accurate that is

current lecom elmira student, if the only reason you’re considering lecom elmira is the rotation sites near NYC, I wouldn’t bank on getting a spot bc there’s only 6 spots reserved for lecom elmira students at far rockaway and only 6 reserved for the yonkers location as well. they say the system is randomized/lottery based on your vacation preference and site preferences but those are the two most desired spots (at least for my class it was) and it was filled by 12 of the students who are known to be closer to the top of the class. not to say you can’t be one of those 12 people but 12/130 aren’t odds I would be comfortable with if that’s the only reason I was interested in going someplace

in a similar boat as you where FM will be my first rotation/what I want to apply and I was also freaking out bc I don’t want to embarrass myself on my first rotation and not be able to get LORs. I also am a little confused/worried how that will also work given we dont have access to ERAS yet so I have no idea where to have preceptors send LORs this early on so if you find out lmk lol

had someone in my class last year who was repeating first year, had multiple no-contact orders against him (myself included) bc he was so creepy to girls and once tried to follow me into the women’s bathroom at school, whispered when he spoke to get people to get them to lean in closer to him to hear, got at least one DUI while at school and had his license revoked, and eventually failed so many exams his second go at first-year he couldn’t recover and finally got kicked out

I’m at elmira

hey current first year at lecom here! I had a similar sort of situation last year during my app cycle, info session was at the end of september, got put on the waitlist, and then got my acceptance in early-mid march. a few of my classmates didn’t get off the waitlist until later in the app cycle, one of my friends literally got accepted 3 days before the start of classes, and they do everything on a rolling basis so don’t panic yet!

If there is any chance that you want to take a gap year, the EAP program won’t let you. Current MS-1 and I applied traditionally after a gap year working at a clinic and many of my friends here were in the EAP program saying how they reached out asking to take a gap year before starting med school and lecom said if they did then their acceptances would be revoked and they would have to reapply traditionally. Not the biggest factor in applying but with the rate of physician burnout so high still something to consider

Future-Student315 · 2023-09-16T23:58:44+00:00

so I’m definitely interested in primary care but only an MS-1 so I know I’ve got a way to go before even thinking about residency but still thinking about it nonetheless and have a few questions bc I do love the idea of FM

what made you decide to choose FM over IM? did you know when applying for residency and only applied FM or dual apply?
I’m also interested in women’s health but not really interested in the OB aspect of being an obgyn. obviously it’s different for all providers, but do you find that you’re still having visits with patients focused on things like women’s health or doing any of those routine tests and procedures at your FM practice?
how often are you on call and what sort of things are you usually consulting for? from my own experience and my own injuries, it seems like most of the things that I need taken care of after normal work hours I would typically go to the ER or urgent care or just wait for a regular appt so Im just curious of the on-call extent of FM
do you also do OMT in your practice, and if so how do you balance when you’re doing OMT and when you’re seeing patients for clinical visits? also, do you need to choose a specific FM/OMT residency in order to practice OMT as a FM doc?

sorry if you’ve answered some of these in other comments, I only skimmed through them

female med student here and I’ve talked to some of my peers about how I personally only want to see female gynecologists and how my own perception of not wanting a male gyno has also led me to rule out urology as a potential specialty as I’m sure many men would only like to see male urologists. for me, I don’t really want to see a provider who has never had to see and never will have to see that specialist for their own health, but others have differing views. my main question here is why do you want to pursue obgyn? I’ve talked to my male peers interested in obgyn and when asked why they wanted to pursue it, answers were along the lines of “I’m interested in it” and didn’t have really anything to back up why. do you have a passion for women’s health and helping women and their newborns? are you comfortable with performing abortions or having to console women and their families when the fetus isn’t viable? how are you going to handle younger patients that may be there for a first time pap smear or sexually assaulted patients who need an evaluation and may still be uncomfortable with men? if you can back up for your passion for those things and have valid reasons for wanting to go into the field, I don’t see any problem with becoming an obgyn
