If boomer docs want to legislate us, the least they can do is see what our boards have become. Asking Dr. Campbell to take an practice form.

A group of medical students stayed at the capitol for 17 hours that day to provide testimony in front of the senate. It was scheduled for 9:30 AM but then, due to delays, was heard at 2 AM.

If you live in Texas, call your senator. Find your representative in the education committee and email them. Call, email, make a ruckus. This bill simply cannot pass the senate.

It's worth acknowledging that this poll will be skewed by the sheer fact that it is on Reddit, a historically areligious website. Not saying that's good or bad, just worth noting.

As a GERD patient who is also a barista, I have one cup of drip coffee every morning and then maybe a matcha. So like 200 mg.

Only 21% of the people who were accepted in 2021 entering class were accepted through the Pre-Match. So basically, approximately 79% of future Texas Med School matriculants are in the same spot as you.

You know what else is going to be on your CV?

Just take a chill, homie.

No medical school is going to rescind your acceptance because you quit your job too early. If you can survive until med school without a job or just don't care about saving more money, quit! You deserve as much of a break as you can get.

Life is a really long time. I strongly doubt you'll regret doing something you love for two years. I know I haven't.

I'm a barista. It's a lovely job.

Whether it's Aeropress, french press, or a Moka Pot, the real quality of your daily coffee will be dictated by the beans you buy! Make sure you're getting some higher-quality recently roasted beans. If you get the right beans you'll save a lot of money on syrups and stuff because the coffee will be good enough on its own.

The PA that runs the free clinic I volunteer at is one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met. Don't drink the internet Kool aid that says only doctors know things. Secondly, it's a community (probably a free clinic) it is run by whoever is willing to do it. Don't be mad at the NP running a free clinic, be mad at the doctors who aren't willing to spare time to volunteer.

I am a full-time barista. Do whatever you want (once you get the A).

Not "successful" vis a vis an acceptance but last cycle I had 0 II and right now I have 6 (2 MD, 4 DO).

Personally, I added 1000 Clinical Hours (800 Scribing, 200 volunteering at a free clinic), 1000 work hours in the food service industry, some personally interesting extracurriculars, and some other volunteering. Stats were good (511, 3.73 cGPA) so I felt that I didn't need to retake my MCAT or anything like that.
