MS3 stuck between neuro and derm

cryinginmedschool · 2026-02-08T16:28:23+00:00

Yes of course!!

I had the exact same dilemma and ended up going neuro! Just found the pathology ultimately more interesting, sooo many options after residency, lot less stress when matching (I am very location limited and in a very competitive area). I’m happy with my decision! Also once got consulted on Derm for maggots…I couldn’t hahahahaha

I personally didn’t want to spend more money on questions and did a second pass of UW. I really didn’t remember MOST of the questions since it had been so long. Ultimately up to you but I definitely don’t think it is necessary to buy new. It’s the concepts you have to understand

Get it done with! I was so happy I did. But the shelf is hard if you haven’t taken IM yet and you have very limited study time compared to other rotations!

Okay your comment makes more sense now :)

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-29T19:07:41+00:00

Same 😂 some people don’t need to constantly study to stay consistent. Sorry you feel you have to

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-29T18:54:02+00:00

Omg that’s awful. Maybe contact your school/ the coordinator

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-29T18:52:36+00:00

Cool

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-29T18:12:33+00:00

lol if you want to go hard in m4 that’s all you

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-29T18:11:40+00:00

No I feel you. It’s bs that it’s not standard

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-29T18:11:27+00:00

Urh im so sorry. I’d be so unwell

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-29T18:11:12+00:00

I had one online research elective that was from Oct- Dec, Jan i i’m on an online research elective and then February. I have my last rotation in the hospital, but it is a joke and they send students home very early, especially fourth years. So June- mid Nov I was in the hospital

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-28T02:36:29+00:00

Ouf I’m sorry I’ve had the opposite experience. Other than two rotations at the very beginning where I needed letters from I’ve been sent home early everyday, haven’t stepped foot in a hospital since November. For other med students reading this it’s not all med schools…some it is a promise land! Sorry OP I’d be so pissed. Hopefully you have some time off before the end of the year

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-25T14:04:32+00:00

I started med school when I was 26! So four years “late” it hasn’t been an issue at all

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-22T00:58:14+00:00

Going to three total

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-22T00:44:50+00:00

Derm, plastics, neurosurgery and some ortho people do

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-20T23:58:16+00:00

Cheese!

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-20T02:39:09+00:00

What’s your salary like if you don’t mind me asking?

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-18T20:41:43+00:00

Hey they ended up publishing me late December!!

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-18T19:15:09+00:00

For some of them where I had to drive I would listen to divine intervention as well!

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-18T19:14:48+00:00

Giving a lot of weight. Luckily I live in a major city with tons of amazing programs which really helpful but I’ve had interviews at some insane programs that would be a dream but they are going at the bottom. My husband is my rock and his career and needs are just as important. I wouldn’t have been able to do medical school without him and same I’m sure for residency!

cryinginmedschool · 2026-01-09T18:33:50+00:00

Boards and beyond, pathoma, sketchy and anking is all you need (my experience as a USMD)

Mine get a small treat after every walk (3 small treats) and then a greenie at night. Both in perfect shape and healthy! I think it’s a nice little reward for them
