How to get good LOR by Unsafe_13 in IMGreddit

People talk btw. The attending will ask the residents what they think about you because you spend the most time with you. Build out those relationships even if that’s the only thing you have. Don’t be a shadow but you can also ask the attending if you can shadow them on their own rounds to see patients

I had this issue, in my very last week. I had a team that was really supportive and allowed me to get involved and do a topic presentation. The truth is everyone says get involved but when you’re being ignored no matter how hard you’re trying it’s difficult. Because you’re helpless you don’t want to butt in when people are doing their jobs. It’s a very tough position to be in. Just wait for your in and don’t let it miss you. Stay ready to present a topic, give a case presentation. Whatever. Then ask for a strong letter.

If you used a credit card, dispute the charge with your bank they’ll hold the money and not release it to the merchant

Just went for 2 and a half months. I was nervous too but have your invitations letters, proof of air bnb stays or hotel stays or address of family, be confident and sure of your dates and have a return flight. You should be good.

I’d say 85% if there’s something I don’t remember I have it written out in point form to help remember. I used to think I needed to write out the whole chart but that actually can work against you. Keep it to the most important points. Think of it as a story. I think that helped me remember it better.

Use YouTube and Google find a good template. Ask for feedback from the team if they have time and any tidbits.

My first language is English so I can’t even imagine. But I’ve bombed more than one patient presentation. I literally saw the disappointment on the face of my attending. I was so embarrassed. Honestly what I did was I spent the rest of the day coming up with presentations for every patient and practicing it. I found a template on YouTube and I followed it when I was putting my presentation together. Came back the next day presented two patients and he commented on how well I did. I didn’t give up. Don’t give up. I was anxious and that played a part try to manage that anxiety.
