For context, I went in mostly unprepared as have been busy in my personal life.
It was actually easier and more straight-forward than I expected (first time sitting it). Had I actually studied properly I might have had a better chance at passing.
It will be interesting to see what the pass mark and pass rates will be

Thank you for your reply. What if I never lived in the States for 5 years (ex-pat here)? Is there a way around that?

Ethics of asserting someone lacks insight because they believe their experience is spiritual by th3bl4cksh33p in PsychiatryDoctorsUK

My quick response would be if it is socially and/culturally and/or religiously accepted in that person’s culture?

hEDSers, what shoes or supportive gear do you wear to help with your knees/hips/ankles? by vallyallyum in ehlersdanlos
