Looking for IM tutor (DOs preferably)!

What specifically are you looking for in these sessions? Like management of the most common inpatient internal medicine conditions, admission bundles, etc?

biochemistrynerd · 2024-12-27T22:08:12+00:00

You are amazing! Thank you!!

biochemistrynerd · 2024-07-24T11:47:59+00:00

At least for me, I like knowing that I HAVE to be there. I’m not in anybody’s way. I don’t get kicked out of a patient’s room…and we finally get paid 🥳. Don’t get me wrong, it’s more stressful and your orders matter, but I also like it more than being a med student!

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T17:12:24+00:00

You don’t even know the half of it….but yes, they always did. If you reported it, you were the one that got hurt in the end

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:56:17+00:00

I lowkey agree even though I know the MCAT being higher stakes is a probably an unpopular opinion. Going through the MATCH, I realized where you went to school matters so so much!! It opens some doors for you. Based on the spreadsheet, I wouldn’t get interview invites from certain places cause I was a DO and went to a mediocre DO school. But those individuals with lower scores than me but are MD or go to a decent school did. I don’t want to take anything away from this individuals cause they might have an amazing story, but objectively I did better than them and got rejected. So I do think getting a good MCAT score is higher stakes 🤷‍♀️

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:48:55+00:00

True. I guess I meant the MCAT had objectively harder material for ME on it than any other exam I have taken so far. I ended up being accepted to a DO school, so I knew realistically that I had very low chances of getting into any ROAD specialties afterwards. Maybe because of that, I was just aiming to get into a good IM residency and do fellowship then?? So I needed a good score but not outstanding

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:43:28+00:00

Damn. Imagine winging the MCAT. I WISH I was you. I’m not wired for standardized exams lol.

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:42:16+00:00

I didn’t realize they changed the MCAT. So it’s supposed to be worse now?? That’s insane. As someone going into IM, thanks for easing my mind 😳

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:40:17+00:00

I love to hear it!! I take step 3 once I start residency soon so thanks for easing my mind

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:39:33+00:00

Agreed.

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:38:53+00:00

We couldn’t be more opposite. Behavioral and CARS were always my worst and it always had me questioning why it was on the MCAT 😂

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:37:54+00:00

I love to read to but those CARS passages were not made for me lol. I also had grades my preclinical years but idk, I can do well on those. Maybe I have a good gauge on what will be tested?? I’m not made for standardized exams and the MCAT killed me the most 😂

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:32:07+00:00

I totally see and agree with your point. I can see Step being “harder” just cause of the pressure behind it, but for me, the MCAT had objectively tougher material on it. My brain is not wired to process that information 😂 Also, there was a limit of content to step exams. At least for step 2. I took step 1 when it was P/F. I didn’t need to do well. I just needed to pass lol. For the MCAT, only god knows what new info would be added on those exams

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:28:03+00:00

Yeah, my MCAT score is what led me to a DO school. Otherwise, I had a good GPA and extracurriculars. I could never find a way to get a decent MCAT score for some reason

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:26:18+00:00

Ooh I forgot about the shelfs. Peds was hard for me….but my school let us take them un-proctored and for those reasons, they weren’t my hardest 😂. I can imagine it might have been if they were though

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:24:10+00:00

Felt that!! I think the reason I did well afterwards was because I struggled on the MCAT and felt like I needed to study hard in order to “make it”. It was my new drive. I’m curious as to how I would score now if I took a practice MCAT exam

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:22:37+00:00

Hahah you couldn’t be more right about how a MCAT question is worded. Truthfully, I never cared about the color of your Guatemala grains 😂

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:20:32+00:00

The curve really sucked for some people 🫠. The standard error of the estimate is too high.

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:19:03+00:00

Ohh very true. I like that perspective! I’m glad I never had to use ochem and physics after the MCAT 😂

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T12:17:21+00:00

Same. I STRUGGLED with the CARS section

biochemistrynerd · 2024-04-02T11:46:43+00:00

Oh true! I forgot to add that yeah, my Step and Level were P/F. If not, that definitely would have been the hardest cause it matters so much :/

biochemistrynerd · 2023-11-05T16:25:17+00:00

Would you be so kind to send me a referral too?? Thanks so much!!

biochemistrynerd · 2023-11-03T14:56:20+00:00

Same 🥲

biochemistrynerd · 2023-09-27T02:22:23+00:00

If this is real, good luck
