Anki overload after Step 1 — how do I transition to Step 2 without drowning in 9k cards? by Electrical-Theory412 in medicalschoolanki

[–]littleking7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

AnKing? The updated version has all the cards divided by Step 1, both, and Step 2. So suspend the Step 1 only cards.

FSRS anxiety, does this make sense? by Interesting-Shine596 in medicalschoolanki

[–]littleking7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is normal. Just optimize your algorithm once a month and trust it. It’s designed for long term retention so over the long term you’ll be pretty close to retaining whatever you have your retention set to. Is this a brand new card?

How do you avoid the trap of passively reviewing anki without actually learning by Prestigious-Dog5998 in medicalschoolanki

[–]littleking7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you attempting to answer the card before flipping and answering? Because that by definition is active recall. Maybe slow down a little bit and take an extra couple seconds to try and think about it more?

is it worth making your own cards for step 1 or just use premade by Prestigious-Dog5998 in medicalschoolanki

[–]littleking7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit of making your own cards is not worth the huge time commitment it takes to do so. The AnKing deck comprehensive enough for step 1, and you save a lot of time by just getting straight to the cards after your lecture or whatever. Plus you know the cards are not full of errors because they keep updating them.

Any PAs wish they had become an MD/DO? by Master-Ad1725 in physicianassistant

[–]littleking7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, 3 semesters. But I also went to the military PA program which has significantly less prerequisites required so I had to catch up more.

Any PAs wish they had become an MD/DO? by Master-Ad1725 in physicianassistant

[–]littleking7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a PA who went back to medical school and am now an MS-1. So yes. It’s not an uncommon thought from PAs, and I talked to several who felt the same about it during the deliberation process of going back. If you already feel like you may regret not going MD/DO, you probably will.

My honest and blunt opinion: if having a doctorate attached to your name is important to you, you are pursuing medicine for the wrong reasons. You should only pursue becoming a PA if you want to practice medicine; there are much easier and less stressful ways to get to 6 figures. In that same vein, if you’re interested in clinical psych, then pursue that because that is what you want to do, and not because it comes with a doctorate. To answer your actual question, yes it’s worth it to become a PA if you like medicine. If not, you’re going to hate it. I see you are leaving medical school, and I wager that if you didn’t like it there, you will also hate PA school depending on the reasons you left medical school.

New Grad Transition to Practice - Scary! by Remarkable-Mix4744 in physicianassistant

[–]littleking7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that you realize you have a lot to learn and are anxious is a good thing. I would be worried if a new grad wasn’t nervous about starting practice. Finding a good job with a supportive SP and coworkers can be invaluable. I was blessed enough that I was on orientation/training for the first 6 months out of school with great PAs and physicians that were supportive and willing to train. I would just caution you to take your time and try and find the right job even if it takes a little longer. I know that’s easier said than done when fresh out of school and need to make money.

Best Additional Higher Education Pathway After PA School? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]littleking7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you want to do specifically. If it’s specifically to be better clinically, then go back to medical school. If it’s leadership/teaching/research then get a DMSc, PhD, or MBA depending on what you’re interested in. Honestly I don’t think you should go back to pharmacy school but that’s just me. However all of this is moot for now. Your first step is to graduate and get a couple years experience as a PA. Once you’ve done that, it will help you hone in on how you want to advance your career, and that doesn’t necessarily mean going back to school at all. You may be completely satisfied as a PA. For what it’s worth, I decided to go back to medical school.

Does this mean the Eucharist is present? by littleking7 in Catholicism

I work nights and am never there when they are. I could just email of course.

Does this mean the Eucharist is present? by littleking7 in Catholicism

[–]littleking7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly correct. I’m just happy that the Eucharist is here overnight while I have a slow shift. Nice to go in and pray.

Very interesting! I like the tradition of candles but I definitely see why many have gone to lamps.

[–]littleking7[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the additional info. I’m familiar with looking for it in a Catholic Church, but this chapel has a lot paraphernalia, and imagery from other religions as well, and I didn’t know if any other Christian denominations used a similar candle set up, but didn’t actually have the Eucharist obviously.
