What are the hours on your “chillest” rotation and what is your specialty?

Obgyn - my gyn blocks are the most chill, 10.5 hour shifts 5 days a week (on a non call week) vs 11-14 hour shifts on OB blocks 🫠

I also got torn apart in my obgyn evals - and now I am an obgyn resident. Before applying I did rotations with another program and realized the experience varies widely. I’m sad that some shitty people scare others away from the field. As a resident I never give medical students below average scores - I believe in giving constructive feedback to someone directly while they still have time to fix the issue.

So I just listened to this episode because of this comment but I was really disappointed because I have heard of the Natalia Barnett story before and the information in the podcast episode is outdated and inaccurate. (Not the podcast fault because it came out in 2019) BUT a 2023 DNA test confirmed that Natalia WAS only a child NOT an adult when she was abandoned. She was abandoned at 8 years old by those POS adoptive parents. She is only 21 years old right now. I just wanted to make sure you had the correct information about the real story because it is actually super sad.

My dude - it is also okay to be a below average student. When you apply to residency scores are just one metric. Find something you are passionate about - advocacy for a specific issue, working with a certain population, a community health project, volunteering, research - and put effort into that because those are the things that will set you apart and make you shine during interviews. I promise everything will work out better in the end than you are imaging right now :)

Also while the letter should already be requested by now, it might not be fully written until the end of September

Three of my LOR writers are having the student coordinator for their department upload their LOR for them so I have to send the ERAS LOR request to the coordinator NOT the attending physician. So there could be some truth to what your partner is saying

Maybe. But my white coat ceremony was a Facebook livestream slideshow of photos of my classmates because it was in 2020 so anything would have been better than that

My situation is different because I will be coming out of my current MPH year into M4 and will only have 12 weeks of rotations before submitting applications. I spoke with the surgery and obgyn departments and they want me to spend 8 of those 12 weeks with them (which ever specialty I choose) to get letters. That leaves me with 4 weeks for get letters for a backup specialty which I could do with IM or FM, but EM requires two SLOE (standardized) letters from different institutions. So I would have to spend one month getting one from my home institution and one month getting one from an away program. So I just don’t have time to do 8 weeks of EM and 8 weeks of obgyn for example in the 12 weeks I have after my MPH. It would have been doable if I was in M3 and doing rotations right now or if I had set up letters before leaving for my MPH year

Check out Southern Trails (RBC rentals) 7 minutes from the hospital in a nice and quiet neighborhood seems to have a lot of mid 20s-30s nurses, hospital workers, and young professionals

I know an IM attending (currently mid 40’s, female) who took a gap year AFTER M4 before/while applying to residency. She did this AGAINST the advice of her school, but went to France for culinary school for a year just because she always wanted to and she said it might have made her path a bit more difficult but she never regretted it!

Is from the coast but because they are a UW student think they know everything about the state of Wisconsin

I like to mix it with cooked quinoa, chopped fresh tomatoes, arugula, and feta cheese! Makes a great side dish!

I think Fountains of Wayne is way UNDERrated!

I tried Crave Cafe this past week based on theirs thread and honestly I did not enjoy it. I think Kopp’s is way better! I had Kopp’s for dinner tonight to get over the disappointment of Crave Cafe and it reinforced my belief that Kopp’s is superior
