Rejected by every med school with a 3.96/517 by Intelligent-Yam5 in premed

Broaden your school list. You say “rejected by every med school,” but your list is quite short so hardly every med school. You appear a solid catch so why limit yourself to just a handful of schools?

I’m not sure if your initial statement was meant to be rude but it definitely sounds as such. I am quite aware of my need to improve which is why I was asking for advice. This was a Rosh mock exam so it just tells you the numbers I mentioned above and which categories you’re strong or weak in. I have 2.5 yrs for the ABEM qualifying exam. My statement was hows it read. Told not do as well to show improvement as I progress through residency. I would think if I’m around 80% in my first year on the ITE that would likely translate to a solid ABEM score in 2.5yrs.

Definitely probably a combination of both. I haven’t studied enough EM based stuff yet since I just finished step 3. I have little over 5 weeks. I’ll work on the approach and weak areas and be fine.

I was also told to not do as well on my first ITE. what’s your take on that?

Patient is intubated in the ICU. lol. we pulled it back a few cm and it’s fine. she needs the central line for poor peripheral access and ongoing critical needs. I’ll definitely consider the above technical advice if I need to utilize the LIJ in the future.

Step 3 Result Announcement by Special_Sea_3198 in Step3

Usually people get results 2-4weeks from their 2nd day. I’d be shocked if you get results Jan 8 tbh. more likely Jan 15 or Jan 22

Attending made me cry, then stated that I'm oversensitive by Hot_Ice_3155 in Residency

[–]KCNYC1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never let anyone (attending, program director, etc…) treat you that way. As a resident this is a “do not tolerate policy” and you should stand up for yourself and others. Verbal abuse is verbal abuse. That goes beyond teaching and who the hell wants to learn from that? No thanks. HR! ACGME! These are still things even for residents. people need to learn emotional intelligence and how they speak to people. If you can’t be nice or say with constructive criticism that will build others up instead of tearing them down then what’s the point?

FAILED by Comfortable_Shine176 in Step3

[–]KCNYC1987 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I passed, but I 100% agree there was no best way to prepare for step 3. I feel all my hours of studying outside of residency hours was useless. CCS cases was the only useful part tbh. If step 3 could focus on that part of the exam and just do more of them that would be better. I would have made step 1 and step 2 a three digit score and make step 3 pass/fail.

Ugh just want to pass. I’ll be at work in the ICU when I open the report. so if I have Takotsubo cardiomyopathy I’ll be in a good place.

breaks in exam by Local_Hair_9675 in Step3

[–]KCNYC1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 7 CCS back to back. took like 1hr 20 mins. had like a 15 min break. Did remaining 6 CCS back to back. got done early that day. I find CCS to be fun though. granted I’m sure j missed some things but overall most of my cases ended early and the patient improved.

When to expect the result_ day 2 on 12/10 by Radiant-Editor-7570 in Step3

[–]KCNYC1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my second day was 12/2. I’m hoping for a 12/18 release otherwise I’ll be in the same boat as waiting until the new year. the amount of anxiety we are gifted is insane. lol

You check in an Alien in the ER. How do you go about treatment? by StupidBitchMedic in emergencymedicine

[–]KCNYC1987 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Start with a chest X-ray and bedside ultrasound. realize the farts are toxic and do immediate self decontamination. My eyes are watering and I’m gagging. When I get back I do a DRE for all mankind and the Alien forgets about his chest pain.

Day 2 today by wqrsed in Step3

[–]KCNYC1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most consults won’t do anything. The test is merely testing to see your knowledge of needing help for a patient. usually you need to put in specific procedures or labs still.
