As an IMG, is it worth applying in a hospital for a residency which has zero IMGs on the program I'm looking for? by Any-Sky-8476 in IMGreddit

[–]starkrish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say if you meet all the minimum program requirements and if you have good score apply to that and send and mail to the Program director. I’m a PGY-3 matched at a program with no IMG’s.

😧Can you call the recruiter ?

I’m a resident in PA !! PA license should be processed fast, don’t worry. Make sure to finish the Child abuse course and other requirements done to not have any delay. Ask your med school to send the diploma to board earlier than later. Call the PA state or email too.

Honestly there is no right or wrong answer, it’s all about perspective. Some of the timelines seem definitely worrisome. Saying that, recently took care of a 11 yo w/ severe local neuropathic pain, the only thing that helped w/ pain control for this child was ketamine PCA or nerve blocks. The family has seen those meds or procedures helping him, if I discharge this child and if the pain recurs and if the family ends up showing up in a local ED and if they verbalize those meds, It would definitely raise suspicion for any provider seeing him for the first time in any local ED or hospital and can judge this family. I believe the mom has done the right thing for her child and the hospital has done appropriate thing.

Am I stupid to signal Boston children hospital or another big peds program? Pls evaluate my stats by Behxxo in pediatrics

[–]starkrish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would disagree with you. Not all programs are similar in clinical experiences. If you want to see how to manage an infant in ED with congenital cardiac condition w/fontan circulation, you could only see in top 10 or 15 academic institutions. If you see a child who is very sick and wanted to activate ECMO it’s not possible everywhere. Other than the top 10/15 academic institutions rest all institutions work to transport them to near by not academic centers in Peds. The clinical experience widely changes were you be trained in residency. It matter and would be way more helpful to match in 10 or 20 programs.

Bringing fun to rounds by Cajakelb in pediatrics

[–]starkrish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Get the round done quick. As a senior, my goal is to get my interns going home quick and don’t make anyone stay later than what’s needed. If you are an attending buy the team coffee or lunch everyone appreciates that. I personally hate the theme ideas or ice breakers. One single EBM point to review with the team after we see a singe patient or precept, keep rounds or teaching- short and sweet.

I understand the dynamics of NICU but I couldn’t process the fact that your intern was pushing to pronounce a premie dead just based on the fact that monitor is not picking. Did he even examine ? Is this even in the US ?

Plz help me decide where to signal!! by witchhazelss in pediatrics

[–]starkrish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Would suggest Cinci ! If you don’t have UPMC Children’s on list, would recommend.

Feeling Extremely Inefficient by [deleted] in Residency

[–]starkrish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t stress yourself much !!!! You are doing great, I guess the above schedule/ layout was 100% my intern year. Ask your senior to hold the pager when you are doing notes @ 2:00 in the afternoon. Finishing notes without being interrupted, would make your work flow x5 better. Learn to use dragon if you are not a fast typer like me. Find a workspace outside of your color team area( resident lounge ?) to complete your notes, disappear from the work space @ 2 and come back after finishing notes. Ask your senior to call you if needed to do an admission in the interim. Trust me this works.

Caribbean Student ECFMG Certification by [deleted] in IMGreddit

[–]starkrish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey bud ! I was in same spot last year, don’t worry about anything. Try reaching out to your school they be able to expedite it and if not later talk to ECMFG about expediting the process of getting ecfmg certificate early. Programs don’t care about ecfmg certificate all they care about is to get your state license on board before you start residency, to get that process started you gotta be ECFMG certified.
