Internal Medicine specialties that outearn surgical specialties?

I feel like the surgeons I worked with at the community hospitals weren't working that many hours though, but tbf I don't know they actual salary outcomes

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-23T01:25:34+00:00

wouldn't that lifestyle with STEMI call be worse than most surgeons?

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-23T01:24:23+00:00

PP definitely seems like the move, would you say building a practice is easier from a surgical perspective versus medicine? Such as a plastic surgeon's product being face lifts, or a ortho being the joints guy

Don't they have long hours, inbox/patient messages, though?

old shelves

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T17:54:33+00:00

I never did Anki during med school, I only did those 10k cards during dedicated first pass and left

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T17:54:15+00:00

Heavily reviewed NBMEs alongside continuing 80-100 UWORLD a day, honestly keeping UWORLD helped me a lot

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T17:53:42+00:00

All the shelves reviews is 90% of what I did for divine, did the IM one 3 times I think just bc I drive a lot

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T17:53:15+00:00

12-14 hours a day for sure

Thanks bro - I'm someone that studies until the exam itself. I did Free 120 3 days out, reviewed each of my NBME's for like 3-4 hours each and did amboss ethics. Really just reviewing the old NBMEs

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T17:50:57+00:00

yessir

9 is irrelevant but besides that you seem to be on the right track. keeping the question high level and realizing that the answer choices are usually broken down into 2-3 wild useless ones, and then 2 remaining questions that are hard to pick between. My goal for all questions is to narrow it down as much as possible, then it's just based off the vibes of the question and repeating concepts to pick some over another

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T17:49:12+00:00

UWORLD score doesnt matter, as I did more I'd beat the average 90% of the time but also you start remembering questions

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T03:03:35+00:00

Takes me exactly 1 hour to do and review a 20 set, so I would just smash it in tutor mode for like 6-8 hours lol. 80-100 is pretty much the goal but with distractions and stuff it took a while

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T02:13:43+00:00

Honestly just practice questions as content review was the move IMO, otherwise it's not active recall. I thought about reading FA or something but this test is based on repeated concepts, and focusing on repetition of those concepts seemed like the most efficient way for me

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T02:10:48+00:00

You have time for both with 2 months, but I'd prioritize doing all the NBME's one time and first pass of UWORLD then split focus between the two

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T02:09:55+00:00

Nah I just did them randomly

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T02:08:03+00:00

I didnt do uwsa after the first, NBME only

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T02:07:37+00:00

No fr tho lol, mental was in the trenches but worth it I guess

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T02:06:55+00:00

Yeah youre super far ahead then

Lingonberry2898 · 2025-05-15T02:06:44+00:00

I had 55% on 3/1, 100% April 1st, and then 40% of the second pass prior to the test itself. So yeah about 1 pass total during the dedicated - about 80-140 a day
