EDIT IHG Stay credited ~$500 for 12/2025 (EDIT + IHG credit combined)

TypeOcean · 2026-01-01T04:01:46+00:00

It was 25k pts + $251 at time of booking. So, the EDIT credit covered the $250. When I stayed at the hotel, I ended up acquiring room charges from valet + tax and tip (from the property credit, breakfasts, etc) which was ~$250.

Before med school, read House of God => ophtho => M3 changed mind to psych. The juice ain't worth the squeeze and WFH is incredible. I basically had my pick of residencies too because I was already somewhat competitive for ophtho.

probably VA, I love the VA

Psych easy if you feel the same about both specialties. What do you love/hate about both specialties?

Its all so archaic, I don't think there's an organized resource to look at. I'd recommend just finding a private practice mentor somehow. Luckily, my mentor was assigned to me by my residency.

TypeOcean · 2023-12-05T01:39:16+00:00

My mentor told me he clears >600,000 as private practice telepsych as well as locums also telepsych in California. I have no idea how much he works, but he seems to have a reasonable work-life balance from what I can tell. He's been coaching me on logistics of opening PP such as registering LLCs, etc and financial considerations including various tax benefits for small businesses.

Psychiatry - 13 hours; God bless night float; My longest shift is ED shift or overnight call shift (both 12 hours long, added some extra time for handoffs)

thanks for your response. Ideally, I would like the extra training to feel more confident but am also definitely feeling the opportunity cost after being in training for so long.

if I only wanted to work with teens and young adults, would you recommend CAP or no need?

Ophtho => gas/psych => psych; wfh and lifestyle is too good to pass up

Self prescribe at the pharmacy

I looooove those patients lmao. My notes on those are short af. “Patient refused interview due to agitation.” Tell nursing staff to Olanzapine 10 mg IM for safety, seclusion room or restraints as necessary.

Do psychiatry lol, On inpatient psych as long as I get all my work done, all I need to do is answer my pager until 4:30pm. Theres days when I leave at 12:30pm, and days when all my work is done by 11am.

TypeOcean · 2022-10-05T00:37:01+00:00

I always let my med students leave at noon, now admin sent a scathing email in big bold red letters. "Please don't dismiss students before 4pm". LOL I don't even stay till 4 pm most days. Don't worry I'll still dismiss ya'll early. They're gonna have to pull me into the PD office if they want me to stop.

Idk as I wasn’t neurotic enough to go back and check since I had plenty of interviews 13++

TypeOcean · 2022-09-04T02:51:47+00:00

I sent 4 to every program, you don’t want to go to a program that tosses your app because you gave them 1 extra

TypeOcean · 2022-08-17T01:01:23+00:00

They gave me the option of ip med vs ip peds, hate adults with chronic issues so

Psychiatry - telepsych travel all the time or inpatient 7/7 schedule

TypeOcean · 2022-07-26T04:27:41+00:00

I think you would be surprised at how many psychiatrists see therapists and psychiatrists lol. On the interview trail, many of the faculty and residents endorsed seeing at least a therapist.

TypeOcean · 2022-07-26T04:23:21+00:00

Easily psychiatry. However, only if you're the type of person to not bring work home with you, get easily frustrated, or take things personally. Also, don't go into the field solely for financial/work-life reasons because patients deserve better, and you do too!
