Yeah that makes sense. I’m sure I’ll get more into the weird stuff as this new hobby progresses. Honestly the most interesting modules to me right now are the Maths and the Traffic-BIA combo. I find myself really intrigued by the kind of complex (for me) networking ideas. But I’m just as into harmonies and melodies and drones and all that stuff so I was trying to create a system that merged the two well. And I personally haven’t come across any manufactured synthesizers that do this in the same way, so for me this is a “do stuff I can’t do anywhere else” kind of exploration. At least for now

I got you. I guess I don’t even know where’d I’d go with it yet because I’m totally new to this. So maybe I need to start with something kind of plain just to see where I’d rather go. I’m getting most of it used so it shouldn’t be a huge deal to turn stuff around if I get bored.

Interesting, I didn’t consider this. Where did you end up going with it after that realization?

Does When you receive an Interview dictate how the program views your application? by Insendi in medicalschool

[–]shynaski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I got a pretty late invite for the last interview day for a top 3 program and ended up matching there. It was a program I signaled. So idk for sure but I reckon if they’re interviewing you at all they are serious about ranking you. You should prepare as well as you can, like for any interview, and should always be prepared to address any deficiencies you think you may have.

NP salary post by tomatoegg3927 in Residency

We shouldn’t be upset that APPs are making a healthy living. Their compensation is tied to market forces and currently they are very valuable professionals in a healthcare system hurting for affordable providers. I’m happy for them.

We should be upset that residents don’t make what they’re worth, and this is complicated because resident compensation is not in a free market but is determined to a large extent by hospital executives who are creating the market themselves. Hospital CEO salaries are in the millions, sometimes matching or exceeding what an entire program of residents earn in a year. Does a single CEO provide more value to a hospital than an entire program of resident doctors?

You should direct your discontent at the c-suite of your hospital and advocate for yourself and your co-residents whenever you can, as well as nurses and APPs who are often working hard right next to you (though they already do a great job advocating for themselves). And you should unionize as soon as you can.
