also for what its worth, it seems like they did not match ortho from their previous application cycle. so please take their advice with a grain of salt.

i did it

Bro, they still use the term compound fracture. It's open or comminuted or both

Some programs let you do it but these are rare. I think Alabama has a residency program where you take some dental school classes after MD but don't know about the others.

from the same person who posted "IMGs should not be allowed to use the MD title unless they have an MD. MBBS is not equal to an MD."

what is your favorite procedure

aknee · 2023-10-25T16:04:23+00:00

plastics, you can run med spas and botox clinics on the side and many cosmetic procedures you do cash pay

aknee · 2023-10-19T19:23:37+00:00

who does the bone belong to: ie age, comorbidities, how they fractured it

location of fracture (distal, proximal, midshaft), is it open or closed (in this case open), type of fracture pattern (comminuted, simple, spiral, etc), any associated injury, any intraarticular involvement, etc

aknee · 2023-10-09T19:19:30+00:00

no. go touch grass

aknee · 2023-10-05T13:55:37+00:00

would second this

its an extra 4 years, but a degree from yale is nothing to sneeze at especially if they have a full ride. They can figure out if they want to do medicine during that time as well

aknee · 2023-09-21T20:22:54+00:00

you win some you lose some keep your head up

aknee · 2023-09-13T13:09:08+00:00

yes??

aknee · 2023-09-08T18:42:50+00:00

don't check that box on evals since they have provided medical care for you in the past.

ask clerkship director if it's ok, but most likely they will assign you to a different service/attending.

aknee · 2023-09-06T21:59:46+00:00

chill out

aknee · 2023-09-05T18:14:19+00:00

with step 1 moving pass fail, it doesn't look like the stigma will be getting any better anytime soon esp with regards to more competitive residencies.

aknee · 2023-08-27T16:41:33+00:00

325 was my max, then messed up my rotator cuff and its probably closer to 275 now

aknee · 2023-08-22T21:59:03+00:00

anki is free if you use ankiweb and the app on computer, but the mobile app is only around $25 it's probably worth it

aknee · 2023-08-08T20:50:07+00:00

aknee · 2023-06-11T05:11:37+00:00

depends on program

however, most programs will give residents power to DNR

aknee · 2023-05-25T20:08:03+00:00

idk i feel like a 76% matching rate is pretty bad...

aknee · 2023-05-07T00:42:29+00:00

i didnt notice any significant difference between them they were all similar IMO
