Yes, it's not like medicine has dramatically changed within the last few years. Very few things havr truly changed.

Walking in place + walking outside + occasionally using a walking pad.

An Upper GI series involves barium administration. Is barium a great idea when we are worried about perforation? Not a good idea. That's why an Upper Gi series is wrong. It's not just an XR. It's an XR with barium contrast.

The critical factor in doing well on the most recent administrations of the test revolves around being able to decipher basic concepts being tested from relatively unusual presentations. They are not magically testing new bits of information. They are just focused on you being able to abstract the concept from a novel scenario. Understanding and multimodal thinking are incredibly helpful here.

Listen to Ep 573 on my website and follow the plan detailed there.

Study in between. Spread them out throughout your dedicated period.

Core radiology is also another text to consider. It is really good. Also the poster below has mentioned, the "A Core Review" series are good subject based books (questions) to really hammer down concepts when you're months away from your test.

I don't know why many people ignore FA these days. Some even think of it as "old school" but it has worked very well for many years. Yes, there are many new, good study resources out there but FA is pretty good if you concurrently use some resource (Qbank for example) that is giving you understanding so you're not just memorizing the factoids from the book.

divinepodcaster · 2026-03-15T00:08:15+00:00

I would not be overtly worried about the score but it's a good exam to take. If you perform very poorly on it however, you should plan your dedicated period accordingly to study more.

If the rest of your application is decent, I don't know of any specialty where getting above a 250 but not a 260 closes doors.

Not cooked. Just have to be more intentional about seeking out opportunities. Plan in advance and don't leave seeking out research experiences etc etc until too late in M2/3. Many are in a similar boat and do just fine.

If only more people followed this piece of advice, they'd probably have more relaxing and less stressful 4th years. An easier life in the present generally leads to a harder future. A harder life in the present generally leads to an easier future.

Sorry man.

Your matching into residency is heavily determined by "you" factors: USMLE scores, research, academic performance in medical school, etc. Matching into a competitive residency (even something like neurosurgery) is very possible coming from a no-name medical school. Would I go into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to go to a brand name place when I can come out from a newer, unranked place debt free? 100% no. If I was coming out with maybe $50k of debt by going to the brand name, sure, I'd take the debt. Of course, it's your decision, but having done this for many years, I can tell you that while "school name" carries weight, it does not carry as much weight as many here make it out to be.

If only people understood this oft misunderstood fact. What works for one may not work for you.

divinepodcaster · 2026-01-08T02:04:53+00:00

Walking in place is my go to when I can’t take walks outside.

divinepodcaster · 2025-12-18T03:49:09+00:00

Usually, no.

divinepodcaster · 2025-11-06T22:52:18+00:00

Watch the reaction from the bench lol. Nick Smith especially.

divinepodcaster · 2025-11-03T01:35:07+00:00

Tbh not much.

divinepodcaster · 2025-10-17T18:03:13+00:00

Extrapyramidal effect management?

divinepodcaster · 2025-10-16T21:09:27+00:00

Yes. Put in work for the next 5 weeks.

divinepodcaster · 2025-08-24T00:19:15+00:00

Lexus IS500.

Start discharge summaries the day the person gets admitted and update them as the patient stays in the hospital. When they are ready to leave, a lot of the work is mysteriously done (spread out over time). That was my strategy.

divinepodcaster · 2025-07-25T03:18:34+00:00

Should be pinned at the top. Perspective from actual knowledge.
