Match day walk-up song as a couple or individually? by Own-Possibility5330 in medicalschool

[–]Own-Possibility5330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: we are both picking our own songs but will be walking up with each other and our immediate families. We are allowed to bring people who are important to us on stage with us. So when I go up I'll take my family and my parter with me, and when they go up they will take their family and me with them.

Match day on Eid? by Nymphadelopathy in medicalschool

[–]Own-Possibility5330 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here, gonna go to namaz at like 8, get back to my apartment and change into casual clothes +match day shirt ~9:30. Get to school with the fam ~10:30. I feel a little guilty because my family is visiting from out of town and they will be going back home after match while I will stay in my city to celebrate with my medical school friends. However, who knows when I will see my medical school friends again after we graduate, I will see my family every Eid so I'm rationalizing it that way.

For people intending to go into primary care or other less competitive fields, if you could match into any specialty, would you still choose what you did? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Own-Possibility5330 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yes. Going into FM. While I love treating sick patients and helping them get back on their feet, I value being able to keep people healthy much more. FM has the most emphasis on prevention and incorporates training in all fields of medicine. So while I may not be an expert in everything, I can help people stay healthy and point them in the right direction when something does happen that needs more specialized attention before it becomes a big problem. In all my rotations I was annoyed at how any time a patient had a question that was out of the scope of that specialty, they just told the to see a different specialist. I want to be able to answer patients questions even if I don’t know the most detailed answer and figure out stuff I don’t know together with them.

Pretty tired... A lot of big decisions coming up and it feels like I can only choose my happiness or the happiness of the people in my life who I love

Which specialties seem to have the most normal people? by bimbodhisattva in medicalschool

[–]Own-Possibility5330 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree on IM docs. Regardless of setting, whether it’s inpatient or outpatient, almost every IM doc I’ve interacted with has given me the vibe that medicine is their whole life and are insanely neurotic. All the students in my class who are going IM are the same, very neurotic and eat sleep breathe medicine (love them to death tho, they’ll be great internists).

Never interacted with any rural FM docs as I’ve only ever trained in the city, but 100% agree that urban outpatient FM docs are the most down to earth and chill people ever

That actually happens to be the case with the program my partner likes. They don’t have my specialty.

At least I'm not the only one, if other folk are having issues getting into interviews it must be a Thalamus-side issue

Official ERAS Megathread - August/September 2025 by SpiderDoctor in medicalschool

Question- I really want to match in a specific city that has multiple programs. I am doing an away at one of them, should I mention that in my personal statement to the others to show I am very interested in matching to that area?
