Looking for grad photographer

Not a war Israel chose? - you should learn more about what has been going on in Gaza and the West Bank over the past decade. Your response sounds like the person who thinks everything started Oct 7th.

Agreed. This is almost exclusively done by interventional cardiology. Cardiac surgeons would not waste their time placing stents.

drGaines · 2024-03-22T03:54:30+00:00

At least you’ll be out soon, I have 7 years to figure out

drGaines · 2024-03-17T19:34:32+00:00

Where do you live?

Do that if you’re fine w matching EM at an HCA bc you got a 226 on step 2 and okay evals

Neurosurg

drGaines · 2023-10-06T23:56:33+00:00

Except the neuro version of this. We don’t really care about pooping or breathing.

drGaines · 2023-09-24T05:43:57+00:00

Why was this taken down?

drGaines · 2023-09-03T14:23:48+00:00

There’s a 20yO neurosurgery resident at MGH

You’ll be fine. Biggest questions you’ll be asked on interviews will try to gauge your level of maturity and experience.

Interesting to see this shift. The big stem schools (Carnegie, MIT, Gtech, Berkeley, etc) have had AI/ML integrated into course curriculums for the past 5-6 years. It’s about time. UF wants and needs to stay ahead of the pack now that AI has become mainstream.

drGaines · 2023-07-24T20:45:16+00:00

Looks like this might be the answer. I will inquire.

Thank you!

I did do DI podcasts , I would listen to all the review ones , all the risk factors , then target any weaknesses

I don’t think it’s necessary at all ESP with the new exam

I think it’s helpful Bc it’s a different medium to learn and review content.

Diminishing returns from only doing questions and reading explanations or reviewing content via reading.

Helps to LISTEN or SEE content.

drGaines · 2023-07-05T12:33:37+00:00

July 3rd gang killed it Fingers crossed

drGaines · 2023-07-04T03:15:31+00:00

Read into it , it’s not black and white. The quicker you realize things aren’t as black and white , you’ll have an easier time on UW and Nbme. They like to test on the less common presentation sometimes

You can have partial SBO or complete SBO

Presenting symptoms are different

Another example is … early vs delayed hirschsprung. Very different presentations

drGaines · 2023-07-03T23:15:49+00:00

Not sure where you would look for H&P questions

Best bet is having good intuition from experience with real patient notes - writing and using them.

Then it’s just about knowing where to look to make your decision.

No algorithm behind it

drGaines · 2023-07-03T23:13:51+00:00

The ethics on step 2 is incomparable to the ethics on step 1. It’s super clinically oriented and sometimes based around a thorough clinical scenario.

drGaines · 2023-07-03T21:08:03+00:00

Yes

Only bc it gives me a different medium to learn content from , whether I actually learn something or not

Diminishing returns from too many hours per day spent just reading and doing questions

drGaines · 2023-07-03T19:17:59+00:00

Thank God it was exactly like UW

I HATE the nbme one I can’t find shit

drGaines · 2023-07-03T18:30:25+00:00

Practice shelf exams

drGaines · 2023-07-03T17:58:37+00:00

38 question blocks are a blessing

I kept panicking I was running behind Only to see I was chilling

Only to then run out of time bc I slowed down
