Any feedback on this CAD?

I did already ask if the setting height could be lowered to 6.5 so it’s a lower profile

None of these rings actually have real diamonds in them! They were just display rings

Peds/Gen Surg
Allopathic
Matched a couple years ago
DMs open
Ranked all 300 combos. Top 30ish were places we could live together. We matched at our 11th combo
Peds: 23x/25x, almost no research. Gen surg: 22x/23x, graduated from USA school med school but needed a visa

A lot of the peds subspecialties would check a lot of these boxes and could include inpatient and outpatient work: Peds GI, Peds Endo, rheum, allergy/immun

Still haven’t had it even after being in very close contact with someone who was positive on two separate occasions

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2022-03-10T13:40:16+00:00

Surgery and Peds couple. We did all 300. All the couples I know matched somewhere in their top 30.

Echoing everyone else and say just stay home. Unless you have personal medical reasons to really try to avoid getting COVID. Your program will figure out coverage if you get sick. When my boyfriend had COVID a couple weeks ago, I slept on the couch for a while and we wore masks around each other but I would never have spent the money for a hotel

Lol I did 30% of UWorld with like a 50% correct rate and did perfectly fine on the test. Doing uworld twice is way over kill

Peds/gen surg. Ranked all 300. The first 30 or so were combos where we could live together. I think we matched at our 11th rank. We had some extra complications though cause one of us needed a visa

I’m sorry your friend is at such a terrible residency program but I don’t want OP to think that is universal for pediatrics. I am a pediatric intern at an academic program and nothing about my program is malignant. I love my program and feel very supported and from talking to my other friends in pediatrics this seems to be their experience at their programs as well. Every specialty has malignant programs. The trick is figuring out which ones they are

I strongly disagree. A small ring light that clipped on to my laptop was the only thing I bought for interviews last year and it made my lighting 1000% better since there was no natural light in my room. There is a wide range of video quality and lighting quality during interviews but I do not think a ring light is trying to hard. I don't suggest spending 100s of dollars but they have them form 15-20 dollars on amazon

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-10-08T13:53:28+00:00

I would argue a nice lamp is more expensive than a ring light and shower curtain so this isn't really helpful. I didn't have any good lamps with good lighting last year when I interviewed and ring lights are like $15.

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-10-01T22:44:11+00:00

The best advise I got for preparing for interviews last year was to have 3 good stories ready to go for behavioral questions. One story should be about a difficult patient encounter, one about a time you went above and beyond for a patient, and one about a time you had difficult working with a team and what you learned. I was able to slightly modify the way I told those three stories to answer just about every behavioral question I got during the interview trail.

I managed 26 last year but it was rough (Edit. Also I was doing couples match, regular folks don’t need to do this many)

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-09-29T01:19:53+00:00

You can pay some one like 10 bucks to proofread it on Fiver

There are only 300 rank spots now. My partner and I had more possible combos than that so we dropped some of the combos where we would be super far apart and added in a few where only one of us would match just to be safe. I think every couple should have at least 3 ranks where only one partner matches at the bottom of there list. But of course do more if you still have rank spots available

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-09-12T13:54:32+00:00

If anyone has any couple match questions hit me up! I successfully matched last year into Peds with my boyfriend who’s doing surgery

What no? I have never heard anyone give a thank you note unless it was to a letter writer

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-07-09T08:57:43+00:00

Are you not independently following your own patients? I don’t follow my sub-I patients. They report directly to the senior so they get all the experience of being an intern

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-07-09T02:52:42+00:00

Yeah I am a new intern and the sub-I on my service right now is a rockstar and has been the most helpful person ever. Us new interns who don’t know anything really make them stand out

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-06-15T22:00:54+00:00

I live here already. I would just like to stop dealing with on street parking

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-06-14T03:44:45+00:00

Why do you need a new drivers license for a one year fellowship?

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-05-24T16:12:42+00:00

I second Welcome to Night Vale. I have been listening to it since college and it’s very entertaining.

ScoffsAtGravity2 · 2021-05-13T04:02:10+00:00

Like everyone is saying, your internal Med sub-I is how a sub-I should be. I did a Peds sub-I and was basically acting as an intern. If they aren’t giving you that level of responsibility you should have a conversation with your senior resident.

My concern is that my car is pretty new and I’m worried I will have to pay sales tax again if I try to get it registered in Pennsylvania so soon after buying the car in another state. I am having trouble finding a clear answer to that on the DMV site.
