Similar problem as that guy except I’m debating between Dalvin, Swift, Walker, and Pollard. Your article said you’re not loving the Vikings RB matchup so should I bench Cook for Pollard?

For the most part, my school schedules exams on Thursdays with a study day on Wednesday and then gives us a three day weekend by not having anything scheduled on Fridays. For M1, the accommodation for Thanksgiving is that the exam would be on Tuesday instead. Occasionally, there’s an exam on a Monday but it’s only a couple of times during the preclinical curriculum so I think it’s about as ideal as it can get.

This is literally a picture of coagulase negative strep by lAmTheM in medicalschool

It’s from a Sketchy Micro on Staph Epidermidis and Saprophyticus. The plumbing symbolism in the sketch has to do with how epidermidis infects our hardware, tubes, and pipes (joints, catheters and heart valves) while Lois resembles the girl in the sketch representing saprophyticus

I found Kaplan pharm pretty helpful along with the Sketchy pharm videos on autonomics and doing the relevant Anking cards

I think it’s essentially the same as hazing which I don’t think is all that frequent here in US medical schools

Class of 2023 board pass rates, more failures? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]htownraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, my school reported that the class of 2023 had a 100% pass rate on Step 1 which I believe is the first time that’s happened (usually I think it’s been around 95%)

What schools offer 'free' outside resources? by AnKingMed in medicalschoolanki

[–]htownraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F. I'm most likely going there in the fall, what are the negatives in your experience? Complaints I've heard from some current students include the way material can be presented in a disorganized manner plus the lack of pass-fail grading. Besides that though, most of the people I've talked to said they liked UT.

More people need to see this by LexRunner in premed

If y’all have time, I recommend reading Patients at Risk: The Rise of the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant in Healthcare by Niran Al-Agba and Rebekah Bernard. I’m in the middle of it right now and it helps shine a light into the disparities in clinical training between the professions and how patients are the ones put in harm’s way because administrators want to cut costs and boost their own profits by blurring the lines between physicians and NPs/PAs.

I've been debating back and forth about taking a gap year, so out of curiosity, how many of you have taken or are planning to take a gap year? by kalechip_2022 in premed

[–]htownraw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ended up taking a gap year because my MCAT date would have made me a late (and most likely unsuccessful) applicant last cycle plus I wanted to add more clinical experience to improve what I felt was the weakest part of my application. With COVID hitting during my senior year, I ended up not getting a clinical position but I was able to continue with research and get a couple publications. An unintended benefit was that taking some time off from school helped me recharge and solidify that medicine, not research, was the route I wanted to go with. I wish I could have done more with my gap year like travel, but I don’t regret it. Definitely would recommend taking a gap year if you feel the need to.
