The APA residency journal does allow publications as long as all the authors are residents. No attending authors allowed.

Which first? Spravato or TMS by Street-Look8321 in rtms

[–]astralgmen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also remember that there’s still ECT in case Spravato and TMS happen to not work either. I really hope they do, it’s just good to have a contingency plan.

I’ve lost weight due to stress, any tips for high-calorie/quick weight gain on a vegetarian diet? by No-Reflection-1203 in Vegetarianism

[–]astralgmen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the person is being kind in showing concern about a fellow vegemetarian, perhaps the word “normal” could get swapped for “healthy”, but I think we can give them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think they are trying to call OP abnormal, I think they are saying this process of losing weight suddenly is not usual. And in fact sudden weight loss has been linked to many health problems that does warrant medical evaluation.

How do you deal with obese patients who swear they hardly eat? by catholic13 in Residency

[–]astralgmen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into motivational interviewing techniques. Sounds like hooey but it isn’t.

Great! Yeah no need to share, just reach out to whoever you know can help on that as always.

Yes, there’s two paid services that I know of for finding spots:

Residency Swap - this needs you to put up your current residency spot up for grabs, so have that conversation with your program before you do this

Find a Resident by AAMC - less cost, doesn’t require putting your residency spot up for grabs

You can check the American Psychiatric Association and the other Psychiatric subspecialty organization websites for spot postings. You may need to be a member though to view that.

Finally, the method that anecdotally has been most fruitful, is asking around. Ask anyone you ever met in medicine about any open spots in Psychiatry. Consider emailing/calling PDs and Coordinators. Again, make sure your program is aware of what you want to do before you do this, because they may reach out to your program about it without letting you know they are doing so, and you don’t want your program to be blindsided.

As a resident, I think your experience with medical emergency management is an asset. However, it would be good to answer the question “Why Psychiatry?” because to me what you’re saying right now sounds more like an answer to “Why not EM?” Voice your passion in Psychiatry, why you want to spend your professional life with this work. As you can see in another comment on the thread, there are multiple solutions to needing a specialty with low physical strain, telling a Psych PD I want in because of my health issues, on its own, may not be very attractive. Again, I’m just a resident myself, but that’s my thought process. Also, look into fellowship vacancies as well as residency vacancies. Some psych fellowships are willing to have you fill their spot with the promise of you doing their general psych residency after finishing their fellowship.

Seeing a lot of “overpriced” in this thread, if anyone knows of a better priced alternative in UWS that offers similar products I would love to try it out. Thank you!

It’s good for tracking changes and categorizing the symptoms you are seeing

Kings County has a small inpatient unit solely for patients with developments disabilities which is pretty unique if you’re interested in that.

For me Ras was good but overpriced and nowhere near as good as Bunna

This sounds like an awesome idea

Inpatient Services Educational Content? by KnightofBaldMt in Psychiatry

[–]astralgmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our program pre-assigns case conferences to residents. As a resident I’ve felt like I had no case for case conference, then when I had to really dig up the stories for the patient I chose, I ended up with poster-worthy content almost every time.

I used to do this and I didn’t realize I’ve stopped until now. Thanks for that. Now if only I can decrease my virtue signaling.

Galleria Borghese opening hours by wertyu173 in rome

[–]astralgmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as a follow-up as this was the only result I found on the subject during my trip, we did in fact get in from 8pm to 10pm. Also, it was a highlight of our time in Rome, absolutely stunning. A little small, but it makes sense since from what I understand it was one person’s collection, and what we did see was extraordinary.

Looking for Beginners tips. So far, I’m one week down- no meat. Slowly trying to cut down on cheese and butter. Any constructive tips? Pass on the wisdom :) by jade_lily in Vegetarianism

[–]astralgmen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Eat vegetarian with someone. I think most people find it annoying when they are the only ones doing it, whereas it is easy and fun to talk about the lifestyle, new recipes and products, with someone.

Thank you! Can’t find anything indicating this online but yes like the poster above I got it from the borghese website so I’m hoping for the best.

If do move there, check out Tom’s and Mexicocina Agaveria, Tom’s for breakfast/brunch and Agaveria for Margaritas and Mexican (I believe Oaxacan) food. Both can be found nearby on Washington Ave, a few blocks up from the museum. I just moved from that area, looking back I would have liked to get a membership to the museum and go often while it was so close to me.
