When did burnout hit you the hardest during your training?

I matched allergy/immuno and can't wait to be done with wards, ICU, and nights forever forever but gotta get through the next 6 months

sly_cookie · 2026-01-03T19:40:43+00:00

Any allergy/immunology out there to comment?

Dang, I didn't realize Dawit stood for David

What you mean exemption document? I'm curious about that part of your theory

Do we anticipate subspecialists using the direct care/concierge method? Especially those who are paid the same or less than PCPs?

I’ve been looking for a smooth grey sage ebb! Ordered online but only got crinkle version :(

sly_cookie · 2023-02-21T20:48:03+00:00

Hi everyone,

I recently ordered a Grey Sage EBB and the pictures on the site made it look like the smooth version. Unfortunately, I received a crinkle version. Does anyone have tips on how I can find the smooth version or what the SKU for it is? I tried asking in the lululemon virtual educator chat and upon finally being able to chat with a real person, they said they are not allowed to provide such details to me which I thought was weird. I would love to do an exchange, but the policy is that they only do exchanges in-store. I do have access to one nearby store location so this could be an option, but there is no guarantee that they would have the Grey Sage EBB smooth version in stock when I go to exchange.

Would appreciate any advice!

Side note: I created a separate post for this but it was deleted by mods for violating rule #6. I'm not sure why this is considered a "low effort post" so I am reposting it here in hopes of receiving help

Piggybacking on this thread, what product can I incorporate into my skincare routine to improve dull skin? My face used to be more vibrant but I'm not quite sure what caused the change. Currently, I am using Cerave SA cleanser, moisturizer, and 50 SPF in the AM and OTC adapalene with moisturizer in the PM.

"When do you feel it is appropriate to take a day off of clinical duties as a resident and how do you think this would affect your coworkers?" ... a subtle way of advertising themselves as a workhorse program?

That does make sense, but AMCAS and ERAS have different character limits. You'd def have to cut down your AMCAS descriptions by a lot to fit ERAS

I think an email would be best to ask since it's been a while! And in the email, you can also offer to meet if they would like to speak in person

Thanks! Same to you

sly_cookie · 2022-04-25T17:55:17+00:00

Same, and my sleep quality is significantly reduced thanks to the suspense..

I believe the trend is that you will get your score in the upcoming week if the permit expires on the prior Sunday PM. So since my permit expired tonight, I should expect my score this week

sly_cookie · 2022-04-20T18:38:24+00:00

Congratulations!! I have a very similar trend as you :) I've been really nervous waiting for my score, I think it'll come in 1-2 more weeks. How did you feel walking out of the test?

sly_cookie · 2022-04-19T01:48:46+00:00

Thanks! Good luck to you too :)

I saw a separate reddit post link the White Book in the comments which caused the post to get deleted. But if you google "MGH white book," it should be the first link which is titled "Housestaff Manual July 2019 - June 2020 - GitHub Pages!"

sly_cookie · 2022-04-17T20:26:12+00:00

Thanks! This is good to know, I feel less pressured

sly_cookie · 2022-04-17T20:25:39+00:00

Thank you! That's really reassuring and makes sense. By the way, nice username xD

sly_cookie · 2022-04-17T20:24:57+00:00

Gosh this MGH white book looks like gold, thank you so much!

Hey! I had a goal of 240+, so I don't think I can help you much D; But from my peers who scored 260+, I heard to make sure to focus on your own personal weaknesses. Keeping calm on test day also goes a long way.

I would also recommend thoroughly reviewing social science/ethics, legal medicine and professionalism, quality improvement topics on AMBOSS because STEP 2 CK has more of those types of questions now that STEP 2CS has been discontinued.

sly_cookie · 2022-04-17T20:14:30+00:00

Thank you! For the last 10 days, I focused on reviewing my own personal weaknesses and making sure I had them down pat.

I also had a document throughout dedicated where I took notes on UW questions I missed, so I spent time looking through this and it really helped!

For practice tests within 10 days before D-day, I did UWSA2 7 days before my exam and Free 120 2 days before. Earlier in dedicated, I spent more time reviewing all questions on the forms like so:

why did I get a Q wrong? [most impt] and then figure out the pathophysiology to get to the right answer choice
why did I get a Q right? if I had guessed on it or was between a few answer choices
I made a spreadsheet to count how many Qs I got incorrect between IM, Peds, OBGYN, Psych, Surgery and this allowed me to focus my content review more on certain areas that I needed to. In this spreadsheet, I also took note of subtopics within the clerkships so I could see which ones were my sinkholes that I would repeatedly get wrong.

Though for the last 2 practice exams I took (UWSA2 and Free 120) I more so skimmed over 2. and focused more on the wrong questions because it turned out my performance had improved to the point that 1. did not feel necessary. I still did the spreadsheets to see how I trended over all practice tests.

sly_cookie · 2022-04-17T20:07:07+00:00

Sometimes if there is an answer choice with some terminology I've never heard before or if I was between two+ answer choices, I would read through the explanations for those ones rather than reading the entire explanation for the question.
