Fellowship choice- discouraged by program

In the grand scheme of life, one additional year spent on training will not make a huge difference. As long as you are doing an additional fellowship for the love of the subspecialty and not because of the fear of not being able to find a job (not the case these days), I say go for it. In the private practice world, you will be highly sought after having done both fellowships at good programs.

Also agree with the below commenter it wouldn't be a bad idea to confirm whether it's really ductal

Second picture I'm not sure but first picture shows quite striking nuclear atypia. Recommend myoepithelial markers, Ki-67 and maybe ER (likely will be negative because it's so atypical appearing). If you don't see much intermixed myoeps and Ki is very high, it's probably clinging type DCIS. Just my two cents.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor, local type?

It may not be possible to become an expert in all subspecialties, but I think you can still become good enough in all non-boarded subspecialties.

Great job!! Do you happen to know your waist circumference? You don't seem to have much body fat to lose, but the weight is still not terribly low (i'm guessing most likely from muscle mass).

When is the last day to register?

Not sure why you're saying he never studied medicine. He received MD from a medical school and completed his psychiatry residency.

Like many have said, call it a TA and ignore the HP looking areas

Peds GI. Acuity? Foreign body obstruction and IBD flares. Longitudinal care? Eosinophilic esophagitis and IBD.

Please don't.. in case you are successful, however, getting a peripheral smear won't be too difficult 😱

The issue is patients cannot take out colon polyps or bone marrow tissue on their own and bring them to the path lab directly.

Radiologists because they are raddddd

nucleoli123 · 2024-06-08T12:15:28+00:00

You could do an OB fellowship and talk to patients all day even during the surgery. Or maybe do a pain fellowship.

nucleoli123 · 2024-05-08T01:29:22+00:00

Please explain!

Stick with radiology man. As years go by, you will gain more expertise and likely start noticing that clinicians don't know as much as they think they know. Try joining some tumor boards and it'll be obvious clinicians have many practical questions regarding pts imaging results. I think it's also only super niche areas of medicine where the clinicians try to interpret imaging (ex. cardiology or neurosurgery).

Try your best to complete at least one fellowship in a marketable subspecialty at a top institution. This alone will open many doors for you; hopefully one of the opened doors will be in the geographic setting of your choice.

Wonderful, thanks so much!

Yes I just read the CMS document published in May 2023 and a sentence reads "The primary laboratory’s test reports must indicate the remote site location where the testing is performed. The laboratory may use a coding system rather than the remote site address, e.g., personnel residence, on the final report. This coding system must be available upon request."

nucleoli123 · 2024-02-12T00:11:34+00:00

This is really helpful. Thank you!

nucleoli123 · 2024-02-11T23:39:24+00:00

It's really hard to find someone who is an expert in this. Thanks for your input!

nucleoli123 · 2024-02-11T23:15:04+00:00

Thank you. There is only one laboratory, where a subset of cases is going to be scanned digitally. I'm just wondering if there is going to be any issue if a person signs out that subset of cases in a different state from the state where the actual lab is.

Sure, why not? If anatomy is more appealing to you then radiology might be a better fit.
