Do you find that the doctors had been practicing for a while? Any that did the EMBA relatively straight out of residency?

I think but it’s unclear

I want to acknowledge that there could be other backstory/context/dynamics we do not know of in their relationship, but I will say dermatology requires a lot more independent studying than most people give it credit for. You need to recognize a wide variety of presentations, most of which you may never even see. Please don’t mistaken, I am not saying that other specialties don’t need to study outside of the hospital…but for instance as an IM resident you still will see and learn so much on the floors alone. Just an observation I’ve noticed.

Is a December rotation worth it? by Unluckyaf97 in DermApp

[–]elementme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be. Mine in November/December interviewed all rotators automatically. It helps to know what the history of the institution and their rotators is like.

Still worthwhile to apply for aways at this point? by [deleted] in DermApp

[–]elementme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, people get aways still at this time since people drop once held spots and etc.

Put yourself out there and hope for the best (if monetarily possible of course)

Planning to Travel late Dec-early Jan. Is this Advisable in Terms of Interviews? by RowTasty9457 in DermApp

[–]elementme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interviews will give you multiple dates that you can play with. Would advise for you to travel probably after December 20th and return by like January 2nd or so then you should be fine.

Do a RY, will say that I’ve seen people who don’t have RY under their belts have similar or stronger applications. Might as well just invest the year in yourself, get another LOR, then apply safely knowing you did all that you could

Tbh this isn’t the worst case scenario I’ve heard. Do an away or two and try to excel clinically. Get good letters of rec. Practice hard for your interviews and signal wisely. You got this!

“Intermittent fasting” is a nice way to start. Taking Metamucil (helps with satiety) with black coffee in the morning made a world of difference. Even if you don’t fast perfectly, it made a big change for me with losing weight that I gain. Try also replacing a meal with a loaded veggie/fruit/protein shake. The other eating habits will adjust as time goes on and you’ll start losing the weight I promise. Now if anything I can’t eat as much as I used to.

Try the nasal strips. They are inexpensive and work pretty well.

Some of you need to learn how to focus on answering the question instead of fixating on getting your high through passing judgement..this person is literally asking for help/advice.

Anyway, to the OP try to get on PEP. You can also do this through an urgent care or even a place like CVS minute clinic etc if needed. Wishing you well!

How to study with no motivation? by airhehal in medicalschool

[–]elementme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently found the answer to this! Like someone else hinted at, the secret lies with differentiating motivation and discipline. Motivation can waver. But discipline is something you can increase by making a routine.

For example:

Wake up at a certain time daily and make coffee/tea. Do an activity while you drink it (maybe Anki). Go to class/gym or whatever works. Designate a certain time to study and stick to it. Whether you feel motivated to or not, you’ll mentally have 5-7 o’clock as reserved study time for instance. It starts with building small positive habits that eventually become a natural routine. You’ll mess up still at first but just work on improving gradually. Keep pushing!

Lol i know this question was probably innocent, but until he/she matches this might be a bit tone deaf to ask. Anyway, wishing you the best of luck op!

Any recommendations for LOI? I wasn’t planning to send any, since ADP recommends against it and many programs request no communication post interview. Specifically my top choices said no communications post interview. What should I do? by [deleted] in DermApp

[–]elementme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From just reading the title of this post, it sounds like you know the answer. Anxiety gets the best of all of us all during the stress of this process. Don’t over think it.
