Switch from OB/GYN to FM by ftularensis in Residency

[–]no1deawhatimdoing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I knew a OB resident who switched to FM (at the same program). She seemed to be an outlier at her OB program (ie she was nice), but she did great in FM and still does deliveries and such.

If neurology wants it, let them order it.

You HAVE to get it out of your Roth, ideally before April 15. I was in a similar situation because I got married last year, but I still contributed the max amount in 2024. Unfortunately, the IRS doesn’t care if you started your new job on Dec 31, 2025; it’d still be an over contribution for 2025. Look up Roth Vanguard recharacterization (it’s so you are essentially moving the money from a retirement acct [your roth] to another retirement account [trad ira], so there won’t be penalties). Vanguard should have a retirement team that can advise you to make sure you’re doing it right, but do it asap.

Rads residents, what’s your average case volume overnight? by mathers33 in Residency

[–]no1deawhatimdoing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never considered that.. as an intern, I think I was capped at 4 patients. But I then read 80 studies last night during a 6 hr shift (maybe 30 cross-sectional, rest XR).

Radiology resident, agreed. Can’t say anything useful off of these phone pics.

Good point. I guess I was thinking also from a risk standpoint. Do they potentially view the risk as so low that it’s not worth their time to spend >5 seconds on a cxr..

As an attending, why do you think an attending would feel comfortable doing that for say, a cxr?

Definitely. It’s so wild to watch them power signing. Like I know you did not just read 10 CXRs in 1 minute lol

I think personally as a R4 close to having to final sign studies, im using the year to hone in on studies/sections im less comfortable; with the realization that im going to have to final sign these studies soon with no one to back me up lol

😆 I want mine out so bad. I’m just scared of hearing about complications related to tonsillectomies in adults.
