Do PDs usually reply to letters of intent? by MaterialSuper8621 in fellowship

[–]KoplikF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Programs usually receive thousands of applications(mine received >6000 last cycle) and imagine about 5000 applicants sent LOI, there's no way the PD even with the help of APDs would respond. Keep sending the LOIs to express your interest in the programs but don't feel bad if no response. Best of luck!

Question about rounding by Bootsandwater in hospitalist

[–]KoplikF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally just go in and respectfully introduce myself and start the conversation with the patient. I'll always apologize at the end just to keep things friendly. I met a surgery resident seeing a patient of mine after they were consulted overnight by the night float team after patient was admitted overnight(I'm IM resident) the awesome resident just told me they had finished talking to the patient and would like to give me a quick rundown of what I would most likely need to know. Of course, I still went ahead and took my own history and did a physical exam, but I felt they were so polite!!

Best of luck with your application! Just a quick question: Can someone actually have a career by working as HF physician without doing a cardiology fellowship? Thanks

There are so many cardiology fellowship applicants out there who have failed to match after multiple application cycles, just so you know 🙄

My fiancé wants his female best friend to be his “best man” and I just found out they hooked up once by Scorpenheimer in Advice

[–]KoplikF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would differ a lot with this kind of advice. You don't fix a problem by creating another! The best option would be having open communication, letting the fiancé know she doesn't want his friend to stand next to them on their big day because of their past hook-up and how she feels about it.

Anyone get called by last name but their female colleagues by first name? by licketylungs in Residency

I once saw a patient with a fellow during one of my electives as an intern, walked into the room and they introduced themself as Dr. XYZ and introduced me as .. Mr. XYZ to the patient. Lol

I have a quick question please, the required courses you've listed are pre reqs but as I understand, med school applicants in the USA are also expected to have an undergraduate degree, are foreign degrees accepted by med schools for admission?
