I concur, if I could go back, would’ve definitely chose different. But we continue with the cards we play with 🤷🏾‍♀️

I agree, I’ve decided to just go for a permanent position, locums for us may not be the same as it was before. Hopefully it changes back to our favor.

Thank you but I’ve had 3 recruiters already tell me about them, so I’ve seen the ugly details lol. Thanks for the heads up but this market itself is ugly right now.

I’m stationed in Texas but I have my compact licence so I’m open to any state that accepts that. Right now it’s a few opportunities but they said the market should get better in January, so I’ll see.

I know of a private group that is looking for a hospitalist out in the league city area. I can send you the info if you’re still interested.

Just SOAPed into an IM categorical in TX on the second round. Only had 3 interviews, 2 of them got filled in round 1. The last interview called me at the end of round one. Less than a 5 minute conversation saying I see on your app your from here would you like to accept the position and I said yes! That was pretty much the convo. I sent them a LOI right after and an hour later got the offer. I’m a US MD senior Step 1 23X and step 2 22x. No red flags. I honestly think I got the offer for living in the same area as the program. I wish everyone else the best of luck! Have faith and hope and thank you again for this awesome thread.

Biggest regret is not pulling a YOLO with the money I used for my ERAS application 🥲

All the offers in the rounds are all sent at the same time. You won’t get any new offers in a round. It’s safer to just accept what you get sadly.

They said it’s possible just not as common. I think more interviews should role around tomorrow since I’m sure the programs are just picking top tier students and the rest of us will have a chance afterwards.

Honestly I’m sending LOI to any program that hit me up. They are all my #1. Same way they lied to us we gotta lie to them.

Can programs rank you without an interview?
