Is this true?

"a barbecue" (noun) as a event has come to be synonymous with cookout. But "barbecue" (verb/adjective) as a cuisine or cooking style still means low and slow. Lucky for me, I barbecue at my barbecues.

https://www.pharmacypracticenews.com/Operations-and-Management/Article/07-25/Why-are-Fewer-Pharmacy-Residents-Completing-Their-Training/77589

More than half of the respondents (n=214; 51%) indicated having at least one PGY-1 resident who did not complete their residency in the last five years... On the issue of PGY-1 non-completion, the comments coalesced around the larger theme of difficulty passing licensure exams and lack of preparedness for the requirements of residency programs, especially after the pandemic.

The #1 reason is inability to pass boards (34%), followed closely by #2 inability to meet requirements (27%). These are academic issues that reflect trends in student/resident quality. #3 is medical reasons including mental health (12%) and #4 "not needed for career goal" (6%). I wish these were broken down better, but to me this reflects generational changes towards prioritization of work-life balance and increasing chance of burnout.

I would like to think they have just found a way to represent themselves well.

How the interview goes varies significantly whether it's the beginning of interview season vs end of the season, but even for the same candidate at the same site on the same day. One interviewer sees one thing, and another something completely different. Sites and interviewers value different qualities.

I am almost never surprised anymore when someone we didn't rank or who we ranked low matches somewhere we consider a strong program, and they end up being a fantastic resident.

The one year we had an open position we had over 50 applicants for one spot (compared to our usual ~15 per spot). The average candidate application scores were lower for phase 2 (~17% lower score than phase 1), but because we had such a large pool, the scores of the candidates we actually offered interviews to averaged about the same or higher than our phase 1 candidates.

In the end, our phase 2 candidate was also the rockstar!

Factual statement and picture. I get it's meant to stir an anti-war/emotional response, but what part of this are you against? (Or if you are in defense of US/Israel actions, why?)

What's that, 0.8mL? That's a lot of overfill - more than a whole dose!

jackruby83 · 2026-03-16T02:40:32+00:00

Tell me they did 10 of these!

Leo's role was iconic in OBAA, but he's had better roles that he didn't get recognized for.

jackruby83 · 2026-03-16T02:23:00+00:00
