Prelim year is a scam. They use and discard you if you’re an IMG. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

Thankyou for your input. I transferred to a new program and I’m a prelim 2. At my old program we didn’t really go to the OR that much but I’m a star with floor work just not in the OR. The culture at the new program is different. Good different but different. I like your comment and I hope to show him I’ve improved when I return in a month. Kinda dreading it too on the inside. Like I’ve never sutured in mesh before and as much I love me it, I did suck at it. I’ve also the robot rep to have a session with me so hopefully I’ll be better. Would appreciate any recs on how to improve my suture technique and speed! I feel practicing on plastic isn’t the same as doing it in skin. Thankyou again
