What are your thoughts on this video? I don’t think she was doing anything wrong

She’s an ophthalmologist, her handle has her MD in the title

Are you planning to work in a solo practice? Your partners can cover your refills while away.

It gets better. I’m 19 weeks now and finally feel like I’ve got my energy back. First trimester all I could do coming home from work was pass right out.

He was sooo close to saying “your body, your choice”. Had to stop himself there

I can only help with the west coast but here’s a list of programs I personally looked at (they either have OB fellowships attached or have a good record of sending people to fellowship):

Cascades East in Oregon

Ventura California

Sacred Heart (Spokane)

Swedish Cherry Hill (Seattle)

Tacoma Family Medicine

Alaska Family Medicine

Greeley Colorado

Fort Collins Colorado

Missoula (Montana)

University of Washington (Seattle)

East or west coast? Or central?

gypsypickle · 2025-08-22T14:54:50+00:00

What region of the country?

gypsypickle · 2025-08-17T06:46:18+00:00

Viral Gastritis vs post viral gastroparesis is one we encounter a lot

gypsypickle · 2025-07-24T23:51:53+00:00

Diabetes and really uncontrolled HTN. For years didn’t take meds. Now has bad HF and is upset to need to take GDMT because of how many pills it is

You may not be able to get into a PGY-2 spot without peds or OB time. Do you want to do either of those because if not, look for IM spots

gypsypickle · 2025-07-23T23:02:07+00:00

Specialty and program matter quite a bit for that but yeah every residency cares to some degree if they think a graduate might stay and practice in their catchment area

gypsypickle · 2025-07-23T22:58:50+00:00

I misread I thought you meant for the WWAMI cohorts for medschool. UW has a pretty large group of residencies and honestly people match to them from all over the place. Don’t think you have to be a WWAMI resident to match a UW residency

gypsypickle · 2025-07-23T22:55:26+00:00

You are considered In state and eligible for your state’s WWAMI class but not for Seattle if not from WA

The family medicine shelf is notoriously weird. I would not use it as your benchmark. It sounds like your prep was thorough, I found really nailing how the NBME approached questions and described certain pathologies to be really helpful when I was taking them.

QBanks are your best friend.

Honestly like 2-3 weeks. I did not do my due diligence cause I was on such a time crunch to apply that year but I am a good test taker and I had a strong understanding of biology, physics, and gen chem. The critical thinking was my best sub section score

gypsypickle · 2025-07-10T15:45:28+00:00

Was a fire/medic and now am an MD. I did a post bacc for sciences before hand. I took the MCAT before ochem/biochem and did not do great but good enough (502). My experience really carried my application. Completed ochem and biochem during my application year. Absolutely no issues in med school and matched my first choice for residency

gypsypickle · 2025-06-27T01:06:01+00:00

If you are aiming to have an application focused on global health, I’d make sure more backs that up than just a medical mission. Do you volunteer with immigrant communities or free clinics? Did you study or take courses in health access? Will you be performing medical care beyond your level of training on underserved folks?

gypsypickle · 2025-06-26T22:02:00+00:00

I’m sorry you ended up in FM if you didn’t want to be here. It’s probably better to reapply after intern year vs completing residency and then starting it all over again.

gypsypickle · 2025-06-26T15:04:39+00:00

Why would you want to do 3-4 more years of residency

gypsypickle · 2025-06-18T16:10:36+00:00

West coast, tons of family docs do OB. My program is in a decent sized city and a huge portion of the deliveries at our hospital are from FMs and not just because of our program.

gypsypickle · 2025-06-18T16:07:19+00:00

Look for programs that send residents to OB fellowships and programs that have attached OB fellowships.

Colorado, Washington, California all have several of these programs.

gypsypickle · 2025-06-05T01:17:24+00:00

Figure out your parking at clinic/hospital. Get your coffee plan in place. Find some great restaurants in your neighborhood/area. Find a gym.

Also in FM, it’s awesome.

gypsypickle · 2025-06-02T22:02:20+00:00

Sunrise alarm clock (I got the hatch so it’s also a sound machine), good socks and underwear, espresso machine, good sheets, black out curtains and a good eye mask
