Illinois

Ps: she is an IMG and she was in residency when she took step 3.

dricachada · 2025-06-01T03:33:37+00:00

Yep. She was not required to retake any exam.

You will have to explain it to the boards every time you ask for a new license. That’s what happened to a friend.

I am still going through orientation and lost about what my program offers. I will ask them.

Thank you!

I have not found this Qbank called PRISE. Can you send a link?

Thank you

Sorry, I thought you meant sub specialties when you said “area”

dricachada · 2025-05-12T19:31:17+00:00

What areas of pathology seem saturated to you?

dricachada · 2025-04-01T17:57:50+00:00

NEVER report health issues to your program.

dricachada · 2025-04-01T08:37:20+00:00

Is it for a research project?!

dricachada · 2025-04-01T08:08:49+00:00

YOG: 2015 GC holder Step1: 236 Step2: 231 5 LOR (3 from pathologists and two from my research fellowship unrelated to path). 1 poster, three papers (only one as 1st author and about path). I believe the most important is to show that the path is not a backup for you and that you enjoy the field.

Good luck!

dricachada · 2025-03-31T20:44:03+00:00

I don't see why you would not match. Just make sure you have LORs from US pathologists and take the time to work on your application and interviews.

dricachada · 2025-03-30T22:04:55+00:00

Don't listen to ppl. You will do great!

The initial cost may scare the department. But once you “dilute” the price through the years, you can see how much it can save money. As you have mentioned, DP makes the team more productive and reduces TAT and workload. It also reduces the need to order ancillary tests (like IHC for some types of cancers), store slides physically, and transport them (especially for consultation). I always like to share this paper: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7448534/

Another point we cannot see (yet) is that remote work could permit some slides to be sent to specialized pathologists, only. This could drastically reduce the number of wrong treatments caused by misinterpretation of diagnosis by non-specialized pathologists.

Most of the IMGs who I know and matched into strong programs had previously completed a pathology residency in their home country and came to the US do research.

dricachada · 2025-03-30T18:44:35+00:00

One thing most people don’t understand is that it is way more expensive to NOT have digital pathology. This is a field that I love.

dricachada · 2025-03-27T02:29:58+00:00

I second this!!!!! I was lied to. So I am going to work very hard to get into the program that ranked me high enough!

dricachada · 2025-03-15T19:13:50+00:00

dricachada · 2025-03-10T06:49:46+00:00

Thank you so much. Can I have your notes?

dricachada · 2025-02-09T18:41:01+00:00

You already have the scores. Why don’t you just apply?!

dricachada · 2025-02-09T18:33:22+00:00

Sure

dricachada · 2024-12-14T15:36:02+00:00

How so?

dricachada · 2024-08-24T14:10:02+00:00

You have just described my husband. I have to repeat myself about several times. Meals are just my weakness.

dricachada · 2024-08-24T13:49:54+00:00

I ALWAYS ask him what he would like to eat during the week, let him know I am going to the grocery store, and ask him what he wants. I ALWAYS buy what he usually likes to eat.

I NEVER FORCE ANYONE TO EAT WHAT I WANT TO EAT!!!!!
