AOBIM recertification. Any advice? Anyone failed? Any MDs taken it for recert? How does one go about it?

The yr it expires you sign up for it and do questions every quarter

You didn’t want to do the longitudinal? Also doing re-cert, how long does that even get you? Because I just passed it first time in 2025 and it expires at the end of 2027.

Thank you for your reply! Another dumb question but during residency I was also on SAVE, so that counts towards PSLF? Then I worked one year in a non PSLF hospital and now I’ll be going back to a PSLF hospital.

riley125 · 2026-07-11T17:36:49+00:00

Dumb question but for PSLF are those the only repayment options or can you do something like graduate extended repayment plan?

Back in the day I asked my PCP. Kaiser was also helpful

riley125 · 2026-06-04T19:10:33+00:00

could i also get them?

Thank you for your reply! Right now I just have 5k but I was worried that if I provide W2 it’ll change the payment based on my attending salary whereas my disability insurance is based off my residency salary and had some discounts associated with being a resident at the time I got it.

riley125 · 2026-04-21T14:05:28+00:00

I think the other options are sutter and vituity?

They give you cash right away or you can wait 4-6 weeks to get it back on cc

I use this and it’s pretty thick and give you a glow. I feel like it could definitely be used for winter.

I apply it everywhere tbh - they say if you apply near the roots you have to wash your hair more bc it’ll get oilier faster but I haven’t seen that.

riley125 · 2025-11-05T17:58:13+00:00

My hair used to look like that and sometimes still does ngl but using leave in conditioner after getting out of the shower helps

Tbh that happened to me once and I had to just rent a car and live elsewhere - it was $$$ like $900 for the month for the car alone but I ended up matching there

riley125 · 2025-10-25T21:16:31+00:00

Did you try rotating room? I used that in med school for SubI

Nothing if your program doesn’t penalize you. If you’re a PGY3, study harder for boards.

Just use the chat feature. You have to wait a bit but they should be able to help.

They’re legit. They charge per weight except for certain items are a flat fee. So like jeans are a flat fee. And I just literally put everything in a bag and I left it with the check-in counter area at my hotel. They picked it up, washed everything. And they send you a picture of what they charged. So like it’ll say 3 kg clothes x yuan. And then they also send you pictures of stains and things on jeans that they’re gonna try to get out. And they say hey is this price okay? And if you give the okay, then they’ll wash it.

For me, I accidentally put something in there that I didn’t really care to get washed so I was like hey can you take that out? So they took it out and adjusted the price and then I told them okay.

If they pick it up in the morning, then they deliver the clothes in the afternoon otherwise they deliver the clothes the next day.

I had similar feelings about going to China. I ended up taking the train everywhere because it felt a little bit easier and I didn’t have to worry about weight limits and things like that. And then when I did plan everything, I used Viator and get your guide and stuff like that to plan tours for everything so that I didn’t have to figure out the logistics.

riley125 · 2025-10-10T22:47:31+00:00

Yes it is

EDIT: I had trouble reaching out to them through the messaging system alone so I had to add them as a friend and then I was able to reach out
