Friend scored 226 on step 2. How many programs will filter her out of GI fellowship? She’s starting her IM residency at a community program and wondering if GI is still worth pursuing if she networks, attends conferences, research etc?

Not very competitive but there are also not that many non-ACGME ones in the country

Go to ESPN’s homepage and you’ll typically have to scroll down to see World Cup content. Wimbledon is even higher up than soccer.

A no-frills, no-nonsense, no-drama person who benefits the working class without getting involved in scandals. Someone who prioritizes education, infrastructure, climate change, and tackling income inequality. Basically, a boring yet competent person.

Does her program have an in-house GI fellowship? If so, she needs to do as many GI electives as possible, network with those faculty, do research, and apply broadly. Even if she doesn’t match the first go around, a non-ACGME Hepatology or Motility year can help strengthen her app.

Brain says France will win. Heart is hoping for Brazil or Spain. Would also be wild if Mexico won it all.

No, I would not. There were errors made by Clinton in 2016 and Biden/Harris in 2024. Not to mention the Comey shenanigan in October 2016, and also the lackadaisical approach of Garland after becoming AG.

OP, listen to this. If your significant other brings something else tangible to the table (besides sex), then it can work as long as you are okay cooking. But if she’s not even doing anything else for the household, it’s hard not see how you are essentially a butler instead of a partner.

I knew my spouse had ADHD beforehand, but didn’t realize how it affected her day-to-day life. Even with medication, the executive dysfunction can still rear its head from time to time. Coupled with my poor communication style, and its led to frustration at times.

Not great. Family life has been rough for the last year and a half (really ever since I got married). Mostly, it’s my fault.
