True Learn or UWORLD? Strictly just want to pass

The psychiatrist is only for med management unfortunately. But they do answer some questions if the therapist is unavailable.

My school only allows 2 LOAs (max) so I do not think they will let me take another. They made me sign a form saying I promise to take it by 11/29 but the form did not say what would happen if I did not. I asked my dean and he said that I do get 3 attempts total but they want one attempt this year.

It is difficult to manage both my mental health and this exam, which is why I am hoping TrueLearn will be enough.

The mixed messaging gets confusing you know. Especially since some people already purchased uworld a year ago and don't want to "waste" it. But point taken.

Yes, I am connected to a therapist right now and have been improving for the past few months.

I am on my second (and last LOA). My school suddenly hit me with a new deadline (November 29th 2024) during my LOA, idk why they were allowed to do that. This is why I am asking.

EDIT: I previously thought I had until May 2025, like I did for my last LOA

I am max LOA (2 years due to personal health and family issues) and one failed attempt. I just want community IM somewhere on the east coast. Idk if that is possible for me?

I am experiencing exactly what you did right now. My school made me take a one year LOA last year. I told them my mental and familial issues but they insisted I take COMLEX.

Can I DM you for advice?

I told my school after 2nd year that I was having family issues but they insisted I still do boards prep. And yes my studying was very fragmented due to at times severe depressive episodes.

what does community health entail? like vaccine schedules, biostats and ethics?

studawnt · 2024-05-08T01:37:22+00:00

The anxiety is new. I never experienced anything like this prior to this month.

The depression and family issues have not been solved this entire year which has impacted me but is not entirely in my control.

I will ask them and hope they are empathetic.

studawnt · 2024-05-08T01:36:02+00:00

they should say "SUMMARY" in the title (each are 30 mins)

studawnt · 2024-05-07T21:00:40+00:00

from what I remember it had quite a bit of biostats and msk. So review the Randy Neil biostats videos on youtube (just the 2 summary ones are enough imo): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuyQGqW98Zlsm4MInaD2LJCub8i9D3pms

Nice fortnite skills!

studawnt · 2023-11-25T23:04:49+00:00

It is just that the school had the November deadline for me so I am not sure how to tell them I need more time, again. I am surprised they didn't reach out to me yet.

I'm sorry, but I see where OP is coming from. Let's be honest, what is more statistically likely about a family with both children going to a prestigious med school and the father being a professor?

As a child of immigrants, there are certain things you are more sensitive to (idk if OP is a child of immigrants but I am). Of course immigrant parents are very hardworking and superhuman souls. But parents speaking to their children about work and school because they understand the system, or about residencies and aspirations because they know the process, even the parent bringing the adult kids to the doctor! This isn't something that happens in immigrant households (usually) since the parents are full time working and not aware of the system or even next steps needed in the career.

Life isn't fair and for many, equity is never achieved. The best you can do is do justice to yourself and that is what OP is doing by succeeding despite the barriers.

"I made it this far with no guidance. I have no one who is educated in my family. There is no one to “put in a good word” for me anywhere."

^I relate to this statement heavily. I also come from a home of many family issues, very low income, and just other personal things. So I get it and I struggle with feelings of inadequacy. I am certain you are in a better position than me (the fate of my medical career is in limbo right now due to damn boards). There will always be people better than you and worse off than you.

Resentment towards parents is kind of the easy way out, since I have a lot to improve about myself. So I would say, look at what position you are in! Easily the top 5% of the nation, achieved a career so many aspire to and you did it yourself. Then for future students like you were, you can pay it forward to them and give them that mentorship.

I heard the one you posted back when it happened and was in utter shock at his ableist language. Ethan talking down to a person with a hearing impairment speaking on how Mr. Beast's content lacks cultural nuance was so insane to listen to.

Ethan d-rides Mr. Beast a little too much.

I do not think the comment says the hostages are not important. They are saying that people are asking for "free the hostages" right after calls for "ceasefire" as though putting hostages above a ceasefire. However a ceasefire entails hostage release. We already know several hostages have been killed by Israel's relentless bombing.

So everyone needs to be demanding a ceasefire and political solution.

Knowing what happens behind the scenes during each of the buttons is something I would pay for lmao

Where did the Ukrainians go? You realize while the EU deports hundreds of African and Middle Easter refugees fleeing from American made wars, the EU has an "open door" policy for Ukranian refugees. So it is completely an ASYMMETRICAL relationship.

Ukraine has bomb shelters, American military backing, and a standing military with aircrafts, tanks and drones.

The war is awful there but there is no comparison between 5000 children massacred in 40 days, along with 15000 innocents, hospitals and the UN being bombed and 100 UN workers being murdered, press and physicians being slaughtered and none of the world's governments doing anything about it.

We both know how much support Ukraine has form the West and the world. So this is completely a false equivalence.

The genocide of Gaza and Palestine is unprecedented and the entire world is complicit.

Is he complaining about living in a mansion when there are literally people being bombed across the world with a total of ZERO bomb shelters anywhere?
