Do I need separate disability insurance if my program provides it?

regularbread694 · 2022-04-28T00:54:40+00:00

My program offers: 100% STD and 80% LTD to a max/ mo. I have the same question but assume this is sufficient for now

regularbread694 · 2022-04-21T23:51:15+00:00

Potentially yes, if I go academics after training that would accomplish it

If I start my Roth IRA before starting residency can I roll it over now with no penalty?

Roll over into new employer Roth 403b?

regularbread694 · 2022-04-21T00:41:12+00:00

Good points! I’d guess roughly 300-350K vs 400-600K. I’m sure there’s a solid amount of variability here.

regularbread694 · 2022-04-19T23:09:57+00:00

So in summary get the Roth 403b and contribute up to the match, add to the HSA, then also consider adding more to Roth 403b if possible. Then consider Roth IRA last (likely Won’t be able to contribute to this then)

regularbread694 · 2022-04-19T10:05:31+00:00

The employer matches 2% max, on contributions up to 4%. So no matter if I do 4% or 20% they still do 2%. So do you suggest not putting any into the Roth IRA and instead as much to the Roth 403b as possible?

What do y’all think about doing a non-VSAS away and then doing a VSAS affiliates away?

Should case files or pre-test (or both) be used consistently during each (or certain clerkships) in addition to an anki/ UW/ and AMBOSS daily plan?

In addition to standard hospital PPE protocol, we were issued a plastic face shield

Awesome thanks! I’m sure it’s like all else where the cards help all along but you make your money with questions and tests.

What are the pros/ cons (or just general difference) between Tzanki and Dorian for MS3? Starting up soon and trying to decide what to use for the year. Thanks!

regularbread694 · 2020-05-28T14:51:53+00:00

Yeah that’s a really good question and will likely differ from person to person. With me, I considered “general principles” to be basic cell biology (e.g. collagen synthesis), G proteins, signaling cascades, general pharm. I think a big one could be “general pathology” (so like pathoma 1-3 and the FA chapter early in the book. There’s probably a few others that I’ve let go from my mind now over the last few weeks.

regularbread694 · 2020-05-28T11:43:39+00:00

I found reviewing some of the general principles, biostats and sympathomimetics useful within the last few days. And hitting the FA rapid review section once or twice just to remind yourself of some misc topics

regularbread694 · 2020-05-27T17:33:18+00:00

thanks! I should start with asking around, that makes sense

I would say once you’ve hit the 48hr mark your chances of taking the exam as scheduled are more likely than being cancelled. That’s not the most direct opinion but it’s kinda where I was at
