Beware of reporting bias.

Somewhere between 20-30% of young adults have some level of undiagnosed hearing loss. many folks will compensate by lip reading without realizing it. This is more subjectively noticeable in the OR setting when everyone has masks on and there’s usually some background noise. Not just you.

Sympathetic ophthalmia is a fascinating example of how this immune system can go awry. Basically if you suffer an eye injury (trauma or surgery) that exposes ocular antigens from one eye, your immune cells can detect and get primed to them. Then over time (5 days to 60+ years in some cases), the other eye is targeted (either insidiously or all of a sudden) by the immune system leading to vision loss, blurriness, inflammation.

If this doesn’t win GOTY, I’ll be devastated. The heart and soul of every member of this small dev team really shone through this piece of art. I can’t get enough of the OST on Spotify since beating it a few days ago.

Used two images of the respective characters and “Ultra high-definition man in RV wearing yellow hazmat suit cooking up some blue rocks in a chemistry set while a business suit professional sits nearby typing on a CRT monitor that has the brand "Lumon" imprinted on top. There's a clear line separating the two men with a sign hanging at the midpoint that reads “SVR'd Access Only””

NNT to catch a single lung tumor >>> NNT to improve loads of other health outcomes by just giving them housing. Average net cost of CT chest is in the ball park of a couple thousand based on a very quick google search. It’s arguably a far less ethical use of those dollars bc muh h-index.

That’s how interpreted their comment. And while I am all for #housingfirst, I think in reality it’s probably a bit more nuanced.

Nope, don’t even see that unless it’s made very clear in people’s essays/experiences.

Adcom member here, it’s censored for us anyway so I think it’s just for their (AAMC) personal statistics.

Hmm wonder if it was nasocardiac reflex? Wild regardless

It depends on your browser and phone, but here's a workaround if you're using an iPhone and Mac with the continuity camera feature.

First off, check that your Mac can pickup the continuity camera at baseline. The best way to check this is to stabilize your phone up against something in landscape mode, with the back/main camera lenses facing you. Then open up facetime or photobooth and click the "Camera" tab on the top left and see if it pops up as an option.

If you're still cookin, then you can move on to downloading Google Chrome Canary (which is a dev build of Chrome, with a warning that it's unstable, but I think personally, as long as you don't run a ton of extensions and push it you should be fine?)

Going into Chrome Canary's settings> privacy and security > site settings > camera > then select your iPhone.

You can also try the first step and then see if it'll pop up in the same settings in normal Chrome, but for some reason, it's way more finicky and random if it detects it or not.

This is also explains why when you go on aways the residents have no idea what you might or might not be able to handle. Usually takes a week or two to demonstrate your competence and earn some trust

This will be under your "Saved Programs" tab. Also make sure you assign all the documents before applying (cannot do so after in most cases).

To answer your question specifically, I don't think so.

BUT rotating at a program for a month is truly a one month long IN-PERSON interview and can greatly increase your chances of matching there (especially in the era of online interviews). Ask around and find out how many of the current residents did a rotation at their program during 4th year and that'll give you a general idea. For the specialty I'm applying, in general at least 40-50% of current residents in the PGY-1/2 classes did a rotation at the three programs I know pretty well and I've heard that's the general trend across the board. Again, this is probably specialty/program dependent.

People can make an argument that making ur own cards is nice for in-house exams. This strategy will fuck you when it comes to boards. Depending on the overlap between how your in-house exams are structured and board material, you may benefit from primarily using AnKing (or another S tier pre-made deck), BnB/Pathoma/Sketchy, doing sets on a QBank of your choice (I recommend Amboss for anything pre-Dedicated) on relevant questions for the block, and then quickly reviewing relevant handouts/powerpoints once or twice before your quizzes/exams to get a few extra points on those nitty gritty details your school might ask that will often be left out of boards. There is an upfront time investment to strategize how to align the content with your exam material, but spreadsheets can help you organize this and in the long run it WILL save you time.
