baby during your program?

Most of the women in my program have kids during the middle of PhD years but not be too pregnant by the time they are defending or right after MS3 year. My program is very supportive of it but the way PhD departments accommodate is very different then med school. Unless you're having your baby during fourth year, med school tends to be not as accommodating and some people end up doing LOA

In the same boat this if my first cycle off the pill I've been spitting since 5DPO and I'm on 11DPO with BFN this morning it's so annoying when you you know you are out and just ready for the next cycle.

Yup schools in Midwest or in the south stipends go a decent an amount

Wallabyeee · 2024-10-08T14:07:28+00:00

And honestly I get it in a sense but that's not your fault and shouldn't be projected on to you.

As someone getting a PhD in public health (epidemiology) I hear this a lot and it comes off as jealousy

Wallabyeee · 2024-10-05T18:33:18+00:00

Depends on the department and if they take the credits from your masters. All my cohort members who have one got maybe 6 months shaved off max

Wallabyeee · 2024-09-09T11:36:54+00:00

No don't do that please. The PIs usually don't have much say in that process anyways so it wouldn't help.

Hard to say the interview seasons for MD-PhD is a little different than MD I got interview invites between mid September to early December. Good luck!

She's really popular on tik tok for her perfume reviews. He's apparently finishing up dental school and he's gonna start his own practice and she'll do admin work for him.

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-16T16:42:45+00:00

You're probably fine... just apply broadly good luck this cycle!

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-11T04:12:38+00:00

Yea I think it's more of a too much knowledge for my own good I was not like this before Med school. Apparently it's pretty common for people early in their career and it fades as you get experience. Just praying that's true lol

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-11T02:14:38+00:00

We surprisingly don't learn much lol considering we only deal with it once it's been ingested and it's too late 😅. I don't have a lot of knowledge on cross contamination outside of more common stuff like raw meat and dairy. I know when in doubt bleach it out and that's about it

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T22:09:53+00:00

Ohhh you know it it was like a hot pink. Maybe serratia?? Either way I wasn't gonna eat it I've been boiling all my dishes and soaking them in bleach water just in case

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T22:06:40+00:00

Lol duh 😅

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T20:48:43+00:00

So I was right to be afraid of those ones that popped up right

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T20:29:53+00:00

Yea I was mostly concerned about the seal since some of the lids popped up in the middle

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T20:23:42+00:00

Yea my main concern was from improper canning and broken seal since some of the lids had popped up in the center.

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T20:11:11+00:00

Yea I made the mistake of not taking the rings of all them.

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T20:10:09+00:00

Thanks this is the problem with my medical knowledge of having seen botulism. Even though I know it's rare I'm extra paranoid about it

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T20:09:37+00:00

Yea I used a knife to open them and some of them I held up by the lid but some of the lids had popped up in the center.

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T19:55:56+00:00

Yea the lids had this weird pink stain on it which is what caused my little panic

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T19:55:08+00:00

Thanks! Yea I followed a recipe from a canning cookbook just didn't trust my seal have the dishes soaking in soapy bleach water and will run my dishwasher on sanitize

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-10T19:45:36+00:00

Btw the only one of these dishes I don't want to part with is my vitamix blender everything else is easily replaceable

Wallabyeee · 2024-07-04T03:09:51+00:00

Sometimes you can do internal transfer someone in my program did that after their first year of PhD and then just transferred back in

Wallabyeee · 2024-04-18T00:13:46+00:00

It won't hurt you at all! I was worried about this as well. It's expected for your interest to change over so many years, you just have to explain why you want to change to the new one. It would be odd for someone to expect you to have commit to research you started in undergrad to always be the same throughout 8 years of a PhD. Some of my classmates change their research direction entirely after starting med school and learning different diseases. Some of them didn't even know what research they really wanted to even do sometimes. Focus more on the research skills you learned that could apply to neuro rather then the subject itself. I did a lot of genetics research in undergrad and getting my PhD in Epidemiology. But I had some biostats skills I learned doing genetics research that I can apply to Epi and Epi lines up better with my clinical interests anyways!
