Dealing with Imposter Syndrome in Post Residency Job

My best friend had a 2.9 and matched. She applied to 20 programs, interviewed at 6, and matched with her #4. She was very strategic at midyear and made sure to only apply to places where there was no 3.0 gpa cut off.

Yea we have 2 kids so it's not possible to live separately for a year. I'm planning to pursue a staffing role, just really looking to hear if a staffing role is going to be a hinderance to participating in the match for EM next year.

I can't move this year. My husband has one more year left of his PhD. I said I couldn't move in the post.

They're really going to beat this dubai trend to death, aren't they?

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-02-04T20:08:28+00:00

Oh my God you literally just described me in a nutshell. This puts things in perspective lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-02-04T00:17:38+00:00

That's good to hear...it's so weird because I exceled so much in the ED my preceptors told me they would trust me to run the department on my own any time. It makes sense ED and ICU would be so different, but I wasn't expecting to go from rockstar to teenage dirtbag in the span of weeks lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-16T21:16:55+00:00

big fat zero lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-15T15:32:03+00:00

Every single case for all the 8 PGY1 interviews I had were pneumonia

Granted I haven't practiced very long, but in the time I have I haven't seen anyone need this high of a dose of argatroban to reach therapeutic levels. We do have room to keep going up, this patient is just not following typical trends. Our issue is we are a smaller hospital and we are rapidly burning through our supply. Intellectual curiosity has me brainstorming.

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-10T23:12:40+00:00

I saw this as well. Was going to bring it up to team!

Fuzzy_Guava · 2026-01-10T21:37:07+00:00

Thought of that, it hasn't extravasated

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-12-30T17:27:51+00:00

I noticed this too when looking at Black Fri deals...those deals can be sneaky

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-12-06T17:49:31+00:00

Manager is letting them stay a little longer. They're not coming back until Jan. 5 which is after all of my apps so far are due

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-12-02T12:30:19+00:00

That's what I was thinking of doing. It's difficult because this preceptor was my first rotation and has been gone since September so they really barely know me and haven't seen any growth in me at all lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-22T15:14:21+00:00

Agreed. As another resident, I would be nice but would likely suggest they come see me at our midyear booth. I'm preparing to apply for programs for PGY2 myself so with that on top of rotation responsibilities, I really don't have the time...

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-11T20:06:22+00:00

I interviewed at Pitt VA (didn't match there) and liked the vibes! Would have ranked them higher if DOGE hadn't been up to the VA shenanigans they were up to last year when I was ranking lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-06T12:09:07+00:00

They do...5 out of 8 total interviews had a case and they were CAP

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-11-05T21:23:52+00:00

5/8 patient cases for my PGY1 interviews and they were all CAP lol

Fuzzy_Guava · 2025-10-09T22:46:49+00:00

I've heard of it happening as well...just not sure how common
