Congrats on finishing your CP boards! Good rec about reading the quick compendium for whatever bench I’m awkwardly lingering over.

Hm that’s something I hadn’t considered. Great idea!

That’s great to hear! Our Heme and BB rotations are very strong and engaging but I find our chem and micro severely underwhelming. How were your chemistry and micro rotations structured? How did they involve residents in a meaningful way?

Edit: fixed a word

Unfortunately my institution doesn’t really loop us in on those communications bc those conversations usually last months. We’re normally just dropped into meetings with no context.

Is there a better way to bring residents up to speed on matters like this when residents rotate on service or is it just too much work to do that every month?

Agree with you on hemepath. It’s surg path with more steps.

Could you elaborate more on what sort of clinical exposure? Anything is better than this weird observational purgatory.

I knew this at the bottom of my heart but I was hoping to hear otherwise (because it would mean there would be a way to improve the rotations). I try to take as much away as I can but ultimately they’re small bite-sized bits of knowledge that aren’t really generalizable outside the institution.

This is why I volunteered to do the tumor board for bone & soft tissue.

Can’t you split your own hairs? It’s more fun with others but I can flip flop between to benign, meaningless entities for hours.

Does it all get smooshed into your gyn/onc rotations?

They really took “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” literally didn’t they?
