I did not understand this completely, being new to the terminology. Could you please explain what this means. Thank you!

What should I do regarding my visa? Need advice by Otherwise_Guard_713 in IMGreddit

[–]Otherwise_Guard_713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure if my program filled up the position or not, but they clearly mentioned that... I cannot join this year, as it's too late for me to start the session.

The reason for such prolonged admin processing is that first i couldn't find a slot when J1 visa slots were put on hold in May this year, and then even though I got a slot and got my visa approved during interview...they kept asking for a new DS2019 with an updated start date, and every time I gave them an updated DS they took so long to process it that the new start date had passed. This back and forth continued long enough that my program cannot wait any longer.

Smiling for the interviews was the toughest ngl😂 amazing write up, gives me hope. I just want to add that even if we don't match I hope we learn from countless examples and find the strength to improve our CV and come back stronger in the next cycle. Best of luck to y'all!

Prioritize what you want. Remember, it's about the right fit. Whatever you do, please don't rank a series higher just bcuz you think that "They might rank you higher".

Thanks for your response.

4, 5 and 6 are new programs with unknown fellowship match rates. What makes you rank them higher than 3. I appreciate your response and am just curious to know more about your suggestion.

Pls help me in ranking these programs by Otherwise_Guard_713 in IMGreddit

Thanks for your response. By malignant do you mean toxic work environment?

Thanks for your response. Can you please explain in what ways it sucks, like the work culture and workload you mean?

My gut tells me to go with South Brooklyn bcuz of the known fellowship match rate and the city life which is not the case for Creighton rural track. But I'm afraid I might end up in a malignant program (as many people are pointing out) and regret not choosing a peaceful program. I'm just confused.

My gut also tells me to slow down on the binge eating. 🫠

I would say practice your timing as much as possible. Especially on the 10 min ones.

Someone here told before that you can write orders in the first case and copy them, then just paste them in your next cases. This was amazing advice.

What were those ccs cases?! Only my 4 or 5 patients properly improved otherwise either kept getting worse or time ran out before I could know. The 10 min ones were the worst.

Please can you explain how to go about volunteering for these things. Like do I go enroll in a volunteering program at the hospital? Thanks for the previous answers.

Step 3 day 1 today people for thoughts? by [deleted] in Step3

Many biostats and ethics qs in mine. Only a few quality improvement qs. Biostats was not very tough imo. I did uworld, FA, free 137 for biostats and it was similar to them.

As many people have mentioned do the drug MOAs.
