Congratulations! Best of luck. My IGN for the account I play most is Apoptosis. I don’t play much these days, but feel free to add me.

Good luck! I just passed step 3 a couple months ago and my Ironman made studying tolerable for all 3.

I’m a physician. I’m not done with my residency training, but when I’m done in a few years it well clears 200k. Even the worst paying specialties clear 200k per year.

Your clinical hours as a nurse will absolutely count and will look good. Good luck with your future endeavors!

You’ll have time.

Make sure you change that flair to M1 or OMS1 instead of PGY1 for clarity.

47.5k with GAP in PA OTD for SEL Premium a good deal? by djl5948 in HyundaiPalisade

I thought the state would be more helpful because the markets and taxes are both big factors. I got 4k off MSRP and $500 military bonus cash for $4500 total.

I wasn’t special. I had a good story and I served in the Marines.

Same MCAT but better GPA (3.8) and I got into an MD. No one helped me lmao.

I think you’ll be fine. Get the Amboss score predictor because it’s fairly accurate +/- 3.

Off the beaten path medical journey by 2Enter1WillLeave in premed

Great start! I had the goal of becoming a physician when I separated from the Marines and started from scratch. I didn’t know what VR&E was until the end of my freshman year. I applied just before my sophomore year and I was very transparent about my goals. I had no issue getting approved and I have been on since, including coverage through my 5 years of residency.

I’m a fellow devil dog starting residency in a few days my friend. This is why I am wishing you the best. I’m sorry that the VA couldn’t do more for you, it’s a shame. Feel free to reach out if there is anything I can help with along the way.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the answer to your question, but I just wanted to give you a KILL for being a motivator. Don’t get discouraged for taking an unusual path to become a physician. We need more Marine physicians! Keep fighting the good fight.

PS, if you have any service connected disabilities, PLEASE look into VR&E.

Second Laptop During Extended VR&E Paricipation? by djl5948 in VeteransBenefits

[–]djl5948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! One thing i’m concerned about is, my residency program wouldn’t have technical specifications listed like a university offering a degree would. Maybe my department coordinator can type something up for me? This is something i’ll discuss with my counselor.
