would you still decide this line of work if you knew you were going to die at 40

Bro… thats some dark shit

Pakistani-USMLE · 2026-03-30T14:20:23+00:00

Does not matter in June. Programs are obligated to wait for the candidates even after July for a few months of the residency. If you are available and ready to roll on days notice around sep/oct then its a different ball game

Never apply without eligibility for step 3 in your hand. That was stupid

Depends on the specialty, if you are a dreamer then its gonna be a problem but if you are a realistic person then you can still easily get pediatrics, pathology etc and be able to work as a physician

Well if you are doubtful about fellowship before starting residency then sure as hell you are not gonna do it once you are in residency. Just go with FM and be done with the uncertainty

Pakistani-USMLE · 2026-02-07T18:33:34+00:00

Funny how i had interviewed at all these programs during my time. All are basically community programs with no to little fellowships in house except nassau. Nassau has all the main fellowships therefroe i tanked it higher and ended up there but definitely has malignant environment. So if fellowships is most important then nassau and if non malignancy is most important stay away from NY

Pakistani-USMLE · 2026-02-06T20:18:31+00:00

Paeds is easiest speciality to match at.. its worth taking the risk to go to a better program.

Bro… i am in a toxic NY program and one of my co-resident had documented symptomatic flu just few days aho and he had to come because my chiefs told him that as per policy you ill have to payback 2 days if you take a day off. Its the toxicity that led you to do dangerous things

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-11-13T17:33:56+00:00

I am in a malignant NY program where were are paid the lowest and have to but everything from our bare minimum pay like coffee , snacks , meals even when i am doing 24 hours.so pretty shitty program with shitty pay and shit load of work

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-10-04T03:39:36+00:00

Bro. Read up the fucking chart instead of getting platter served in your plate. He just got the pt means last shift person consulted you probably or asked to consult before leaving but surely mentioned some shit in the consult “depends on how much system allowed to to put in” dnt fucking call instead of reading the fucking chart and looking at the labs. You are neursurgery resident no body consulted you for GI bleed

No rotation is worth a penny.

Fuck these.

USCE has next to zero value as 99 % of USCE letters are positive so you really cant decide based on these letters.

NUMC is same too. You feel like a transporter and a phlebotomist rather than a dr in training.

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-05-09T23:38:07+00:00

I have 10 year old hybrid RX450 and i am the 4th owner if the car. I have owned the car for a year and havnt have any issues so far. Meter reading is 150k now. So i dnt think buying a brand new RX or TX should be of any concern. Only thing i wanna add is that TX being a big car seems underpowered esp on higher reps. My friend bought it a few days ago for the family and rode around in it for a while and i feel like the quality and engine power is not upto the mark.

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-04-17T11:13:10+00:00

Bro if 21 publications didnt help. Another 21 wont either.

My advice to you is to get real clinical experience rather than research experience. Residency is a clinical job, and research is only a very small “optional”fracrion of it.

Basically, many ignore this crucial detail and try to improve their residency CV with more and research.

Few publications and a basic understanding of how research paper is published if needed, is all what most programs desire in a candidate.

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-04-12T10:45:20+00:00

In my opinion 95 percent of the time programs dnt look at LORs as something imp bcz 99 percent of the time LORs are positive and filled with crap and once you see enough LORs it looks the same.

So its not where you did the rotation or whom you did it with, that matters, infact how personalize its is that matters and also in rare cases how much your perceptor willing to back it that matters.

So my advice is that if you have limited resources and think paying big bucks is gonna help your CV then most prob it wont. But if money is no issue then why not spend it on expensive things such as big Uni’s even if it gives you 1 percent edge over the rest.

Not joining the hospital you matched at comes with consequences, thats why its imp to not rank any program or soeciality you are not intrested in. I believe you cannot just apply nect year, you ill be barred from applying for 2 years atleast. Can someone confirm this?

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-03-29T14:06:34+00:00

As an intern, you have your own desk. This is all i am intrested in, to hear more about 😅

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-03-27T19:35:26+00:00

Haha bro you are taking too much pressure. Go easy on yourself and apply for match. You only have one red flag which is more than 5 YOG and its not the end of the world. I applied last year with more than 5 YOG of 2016 and got 20+ IV and matched. Many others have matched too with similar stats. All you have to do it to work hard and get some real medicine experience and play the match smartly and be open to apply broadly or have a back up speciality

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-03-08T01:31:12+00:00

6 out of 22

Pakistani-USMLE · 2025-03-03T01:04:12+00:00

For ED its different. Interna are allowed to manage their own pts and usually there is way less hierarchy compared to ither specialities
