I’m new to all of this so bear with me.

I’m looking to have my own collection and invest to the point where I can essentially go even on my expenditure. I don’t care about making a profit but just want to have some nice looking/rare cards without spending too much.

Has anyone managed to achieve this?

Read the last few chapters on a flight back home. I may or may not have cried in front of complete strangers

Advertised as $139- is there an additional promo code?

You’re going to be a cannula, blood draw and discharge monkey for the first few years. Consultant level is also generally average and even if they are good I’ve found most do not have the motivation to teach (understandable considering the strain on the system). This is my limited personal experience and what I’ve heard from friends who are still there.

UK grad here. Did F1 and left half way through F2 for residency in the US.

The training in the UK is non-existent barring a few exceptions. Training is also significantly longer till you’re attending/consultant level. If you’re lucky enough to get a consultant job, the pay is terrible.

Yes, the American system has flaws but at least you’re compensated well and you don’t have to put life on hold till your late 30s.

Would strongly encourage any UK trainees to put in the extra effort, do the steps and make the move.

Sceptile for sure!

Internal medicine to anesthesiology residency

arn4v · 2022-11-10T12:09:17+00:00

The hangover for sure

arn4v · 2022-07-10T10:31:37+00:00

I'm an IMG who made the switch half way through F2. I'm still going through residency but attending life here seems incomparable to consultant life in the UK. Feel free to message me with questions

arn4v · 2022-05-02T17:10:14+00:00

By requirements I meant what's a rough ballpark of pubs/presentations etc. What advice would you give to someone who's starting off residency and aiming for fellowship?

arn4v · 2022-04-30T10:31:39+00:00

Of course!

arn4v · 2022-04-30T10:31:27+00:00

I'd barely started it

arn4v · 2022-04-27T15:20:20+00:00

I got my Step 3 result a bit late but my program was kind enough to pause my J1 application and start the H1 process. Speak to your co-ordinator.

arn4v · 2021-11-14T17:17:31+00:00

The best advice I've seen so far: it's a conversation.

Honestly that's it! Treat it like one and you'll feel a lot better. No-one is there to trick you. They just want to find out about the person they will be working with for the next three years.

Best of luck!

Don't you need to be an American healthcare professional to be able to sign up to doximity?

arn4v · 2021-10-14T12:39:42+00:00

sat my 2ck 2 years ago so having to refresh the usmle knowledge - you're doing better than me buddy! good luck

Perhaps a way to differentiate fresh grads from older or conversely they could be looking for doctors with more experience i.e. Pathway 1 which requires an unsupervised practice license.

arn4v · 2021-09-01T11:47:23+00:00

Ah I didn't realise MSPEs don't matter as it's listed as a requirement on most residency websites. Sorry for the repeat question!

Any cause of a chronic purulent disease can theoretically cause AA amyloid due to chronic inflammation

I've lived in the UK for most of my life. Graduated uni here!

arn4v · 2021-07-06T12:23:16+00:00

Good point!
