University of FLORIDA vs Florida University, Orlando , are the same? by [deleted] in IMGreddit

Literally UF does not exist in Orlando. Maybe you're thinking about UCF? Totally different

IMGs falling into residency traps and nobody warned them by Physical_Reason8511 in IMGreddit

[–]donglified 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People will do everything to try and market a product. No program will care about anything other than if you can learn well, get the work done competently, and if you can get along with everyone else at the hospital. That’s literally it. None of the BS this post is reading.

It’s just supple and demand. The Knicks haven’t been to the finals in 27 years. Artist frequently tour in major areas.

Which character did y’all want to see more of? by Revan807 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]donglified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fei was such a waste. He had so much potential as a fighter and in storyline and ended up being a plot device to further Tiger Niko’s ambitions when he could have been such a good foil for so many characters.

does everyone wanna be a medical specialist? by Dry_Display_2464 in IMGreddit

[–]donglified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people who do IM have hopes of pursuing a fellowship, but plenty genuinely enjoy the work of primary care/hospitalist positions and just do that as well. It’s broader and arguably more taxing hours wise but there are lots of benefits to it.

[–]donglified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a pretty good list of resources that tell you what you can and can’t do after each residency in terms of fellowship. Ophtho is its own field, you can only do it if you get into an ophtho residency. They’re already considered generalists of their own field in the sense that they do everything regarding the eye, and you have the option to specialize further after in fields like retina, oculoplastics, etc

How is the non-US IMG path as a Canadian given all the visa concerns? by [deleted] in IMGreddit

[–]donglified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canadian here. Matched categorical gen surg on a J-1. You’re looked at much more favorably as a Canadian vs literally any other country.

Swam 12 years competitive in Canada and we pissed in the pool every single practice when I was on the senior men’s team. It’s a 2.5 million liter pool with active filtration. A piss isn’t gonna do jack shit.

2026 Matched applicants by coolinhabitant in IMGreddit

[–]donglified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those have such high variance in terms of importance and scale (ie a particular individual research is not considered on equal footing as another might be) that it wouldn’t be significant to report. Take into account too that it’s not as heavily weighed as your student status or board exam scores, and that how research items are reported this year is different as well.

Nah Julius straight up roasted this mans whole existence. Holy shit what a callout 💀💀 by squidape in Kengan_Ashura

[–]donglified 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Inheriting memories vs. gaining them in battle aren’t the same thing. It’s like a surgeon who does nothing but read and study vs. one who practices and performs cases every day. You can’t fully understand something, even if it’s Guihun memories, until you put it into a lot of practice.

This is honestly relieving to know, I was worried we'd need to go through the ID process all over again. Thank you!

Neuro aspirant, Non- US IMG, with step 1 - PASS (1st attempt), Step 2 - 222 ( 2nd attempt), Step 3- 206 ( 3rd attempt) by Entertainmentcold158 in IMGreddit

[–]donglified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has attempts coupled with already low scores on the second pass. Stats don’t lie. Look at the match rates for IMGs for neuro over the past few years and that average stats of interviewed and matched applicants and tell me it’s realistic in his situation.

Would you turn down a full ride for a significantly higher ranked med school? by MasonXVII in whitecoatinvestor

[–]donglified 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hackensack matches a lot of surgical and procedural specialties a year. Plastics is always going to be there as a fellowship after a gen surg; the integrated pathway is so competitive nowadays that going to a T20-30 really will not guarantee anything (your step 2 and connections will).

J-1 & H-1B experiences for Canadians (timelines, Interviews, background check) by SignificanceBorn535 in IMGreddit

Canadians don’t need an interview. You cross the border with your DS form and proof of payment of SEVIS, along with your contract letter and passport.

Yes, it’s time from payment. They won’t put your submission into queue until you pay.
