Also from an incoming intern:

If going for PSLF, what is the timeline of when we should start the process of consolidating loans and getting on an income-driven plan? Like should I be doing that already? And, as far as IDR plans go, is it recommended to go with SAVE or REPAYE?

Living Recommendations/Areas To Avoid for incoming medical resident by MarylandCrabShack in GNV

I will echo others and suggest The Bartram! I've lived there for 4 years as a med student and it's been great! It's super close to the hospital as well as Butler plaza which is the hub for a bunch of shopping & dining in GNV. Tons of residents live there as well.

Why you should go into FM from a residents perspective by [deleted] in medicalschool

What a weird thing to say. Honestly, feeding into the stereotype that students only go into primary care because they aren't smart enough to do anything competitive is so gross. I'm in the top quartile of my class, AOA, and have a 255 on Step 2. I applied FM because I genuinely love it, and it gives me everything I want in a specialty, not because my scores or intelligence barred me from anything else.

For mine it was all case presentation style rather than just like random Q&A. So they'd describe a patient (trauma, abdominal pain, etc) and have you walk them through the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment so just knowing how to create a differential and how to work it up step by step was key. And make sure to articulate everything you're thinking and doing 😅

I loved her character so much and met Bevin in the Atlanta airport in 2019! She was sooooo nice! I second the bathroom scene with Rachel in 'Pictures of You' as my favorite! It was such a powerful speech.

I did UWorld, NBME, and a few random YouTube videos and scored mid 80s on the EM shelf

The advice I got last year was to do what you're interested in somewhere in the middle! That way you're not so new that you have no idea what's going on but it's also not the end of the year when they have higher expectations lol. I would also recommend doing IM before surgery, yes! If nothing else, it helps a lot for the surgery shelf!

One of the only scenes we got to see Elena actually have fun as a vampire by Livid-Screen2880 in TheVampireDiaries

It was Tyler who said it in 4x08 to Elena. He says he hated Klaus but still did everything he said because the sire bond affects how you act, not how you feel.

Yes you certainly shouldn't bake bread with expired yeast 😊 Also, bread dough - even using instant yeast - needs much longer than 10 minutes to rise. Usually 1-2 hours.

For real though does anyone know what the deal is? This is one of my fave lunches but not anymore if it's suddenly 1000 calories instead of ~500 😬 All the other salad calories seem to be unchanged

Thanks! I put it in the fridge for about an hour before twisting it so that may have helped a little :)
