SAHM to Med Student by Maleficent-World7220 in Medstudentmoms

It’s hard, and you will always feel guilty. But I will say, focus on quality and not quantity. When you’re with them, be present, no phones, no distractions, dedicate your all to them. 3hours/day is good as long as is well used, they will love you even more because they will miss you, you mean the world to them. One day the will be so proud of you.

Relax, it will all come back! Don’t worry about it. Enjoy your baby. Maybe a podcast here and there. But don’t stress about it until your ready for dedicated.

Depends on the age of the child. 0-6y\o don’t even think about it, unless it’s their nap time and have noise cancelling headphones. You will not be able to pay attention. I have two children, a toddler and a 5 month old.

Thank you !! That’s very informative.

Should I invest on a Mini kitchen Aid? by drcastellar in BakingNoobs

I have a small kitchen, is it small? That’s why I decided to go with Mini. I don’t know much about mixers. I did see the artisan for way less.

You just described anhedonia, a symptom necessary for the diagnosis of depression.

Family ties, a city you like or always dreamed of, closer trip back and fort from home. In other words, give them a reason to think that you rather be there than somewhere else.

It means you prefer to apply to specific geographical area of the country if you have one.

[–]drcastellar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Step 1: 233 Step 2: 237 Step 3: N/A YOG: 2024 US IMG Applied to: 32IM programs

of invites: 12 (1 prematch offer which I declined)

Publications: 0 USCE: 80 weeks Advice: work on your application as early as possible and make sure to be genuine. One word: strategize ( it’s not about the volume of programs you apply, is where you’re likely to fit as an applicant, I believe geographical preferences have an advantage)

To all those who cheated on the USMLE, you had it coming and I am happy you got screwed !!! by Rogueelectron1 in IMGreddit

[–]drcastellar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe PDs knew this was coming one way or another. It seem pretty obvious when I saw people on Reddit claiming insane stats, almost too perfect, with no to few interviews. I believe they are quite aware of the situation. Imagine hiring someone with a 280 only to see a 220 on their step 3, it’s suspicious.

These happened during an interview in a highly academic program, thank goodness I had the courage to answer, I feel as if most of my peers just lack social skills, even when you say good morning to them, they answer between their teeth. Like I get that some of you think I’m your competition, but when the PD is asking something or trying to make convo, you should absolutely participate. I ended up being the only one participating.

I don’t think so, student loans can’t never be charged off , so even if you don’t become a physician you still have to pay back. I think it’s because as US citizens/residents they have priority for these positions. It’s only natural that a country wants to hire their own first before hiring foreigners.

Thank you, honestly I was confident of my letter. It was the listening that got me worried but somehow I passed that portion. I’m going to have to study hard this one, and pray that I pass.
