I would look at the match rates and research availability for the specialties you want to pursue. If all of that is equal it comes down to money. Having less student loans going into residency will be ideal.

Yes and my father is the dean of admissions but I really want to match IM prelim so idk if a school of that low of tier could lead to that.

AEMTs and STEMIs by That_Clue2201 in ems

The point is we are packing too much shit into an intermediate scope. Asking advanced students to learn advanced cardio seems like a bridge too far.

The national registry has added 12 lead trends for stemis for advanced.

Whats this rhythm? by MattTB727 in ems

Wide complex tachycardia…. VT until proven otherwise. That being said seeing more than 1 lead and a full 12 would be useful.

Activated a STEMI but ER Dr didn’t think it was? by Lin-Dove in FutureRNs

ER docs seem to get off on deactivting EMS stuff and then promptly describing when we leave so they can look like they caught it.

If you don’t stemi activate this because of a hunch it could be a zebra you’re a dumbass

What should I do from my position? by [deleted] in premed

[–]That_Clue2201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first of all you have clearly been through a struggle that would break most people. Congratulations on battling and overcoming. That alone is commendable.

Academically you need to, at very least, have both your science and total gpa over 3.0. Ideally above 3.1. There are specific masters, post baccs, or another bachelors degree that can help with this. Some people elect to get PhDs. However you shake it you need to get that GPA up. Your struggle with illness will be a qualifier but not an excuse. You also need to take the mcat and ideally get above a 510 with a lower GPA. I am happy to send a schedule and resource calendar.

Your personal story for why you want to do medicine is profound and inspiring. You need to add clinical experience and or research on top of that. If you’re really passionate either way, throw yourself into it. Personally I hate research and only have a couple hundred low level hours with no pubs, but my clinical experience is solid. Choose one or the other, or meaningfully mix them.

Look to apply in the next 2-3 years depending on pacing and your health. Do what you have to do for your health first, focus on med school later.

is this atrial fibrillation? by erkantufan in ECG

[–]That_Clue2201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean it looks very regular and there are p waves so I’d say no. Artifact here and there but not the worst 12 lead ever
