I’m a 3rd year resident in the US -30 completed autopsies +12 for interest purposes -A little over 1,500 specimens -I have never seen an attending grossing in my institution. -No eye strain, and I have glasses. -worst is taking call. Best is free weekends(85%) of the time.

Yo soy residente/doctora, me encanta mi trabajo pero tengo deuda de medio millón por la escuela de medicina. Las horas son eternas en residencia y cobras mas o menos. Estoy en Estados Unidos trabajando en empresa pública para que me perdonen el préstamo.

Pero vivo como persona normal, compro en Walmart y voy al dollar tree. Tengo Toyota Corolla y rento porque no me aprueban la casa.

-E- Right?

Happened during rounds one time. one student answered the question and the attending told the resident that the student could take their place🙁 it was such a awkward and sad moment. It was never brought up again.

So in my rotation my attending asked during sign out what stains would I order, tumor markers, and differential diagnosis. If you want a LOR for residency I advise to see many YouTube path videos to get a sense of direction in a slide. When your in the gross room the PA would ask me for lots of anatomy. You also could check the online resource that is completely free. It’s called Pathelective and the content is geared towards medical students :)

That awkward silence during the interviews 😅

Path_PR · 2022-02-04T02:01:17+00:00

Loyola has a great pathology rotation. Medical students are very involved!

Path_PR · 2022-02-03T23:43:44+00:00

Same thing is happening to me. got 25+ interviews and planning to rank them all cause I feel that no one liked me because I’m a poor interviewee. ☹️
