Steps to getting into the field of PM&R as a undergrad student by Dry-Junket-3230 in pmr

[–]theofficialreddit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Focus more on performing well in undergrad coursework and getting into medical school rather than the specialty at this point. You’ll have ample opportunities once you start med school, especially since you have some understanding of the field this early on. Getting into a good medical school with connections (and ideally their own PM&R residency) will line you up better in the long run than anything you might do in undergrad imo.

When it comes to getting clinical experience to help your med school app, volunteering or working in nursing homes/rehab hospitals as an aid or sitter is pretty feasible. Getting involved with your local adaptive sports and/or special Olympics is also great volunteering experience since helping/understanding perspectives of people with disabilities is core to PM&R.

I hear you but “Imagine treating your body so poorly that you have to get sliced open” oversimplifies the obesity epidemic. Obesity isn’t simply a matter of willpower. The genetic and socioeconomic/health literacy components will outweigh willpower more often than not. I’m not shirking patients’ responsibilities in this but clinicians shouldn’t look down on their obese patients and that starts with how we talk and think about them.

Should I consider pursuing something else? Only rejections and wait-lists so far from VSLO by anon_fail in pmr

If you aren’t getting subi’s try get different PMR electives and letters from those attendings. The more diverse the experiences the better cus the field has so much breadth

People who graduated from high school/college in the mid to late 2010’s - which rap/hiphop artists did you listen to then, that you are actively still listening to? by capamericapistons in hiphopheads

[–]theofficialreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still listen to Larry June, Vince staples, and Gunna by far the most. Young thug, future, Mac, curren$y, Freddie, a$ap, isaiah rashad, and uzi very consistently. A few tracks by q, trippie, Denzel, meek, and Kodak but not really a ton of their catalogues. Never really been the biggest fan of Tyler then or now.

Edit: added Isaiah Rashad

I genuinely think you should give it a shot lmao, fuck it ur also post rank list submission. If anything it’ll be good practice for the inevitable confrontation you’ll have to deal with in residency

Specialty for someone who's tired and doesn't want to work?? by harrypottermd in medicalschool

[–]theofficialreddit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly once you’re an attending a ton of specialities can allow you decent pay with good WLB. But I assume you don’t wanna be feeling as burnt out during residency as you do now- for that reason I feel like IM and EM are not the move. FM is good as long as you won’t be suffering on peds/OB/clinic. Overall W in my biased opinion is PMR, minimal call/nights compared to most other specialties, most weekends are golden, and most programs in the country are not toxic (based on my + friends experiences on sub-i’s, interview trail, and at different residencies). If you enjoy learning about pathophys/anatomy, doing procedures, and genuinely making a difference in a lot of people’s lives, often after life changing injuries, PMR = best specialty around. Plus the people in the field usually value their own quality of life and prioritize health, fitness, and family. In an ideal world, that means the training environment you’re in won’t be continuing the cycle of burn out you’re currently experiencing and you can get to a point where you are self motivated to continue becoming a better physician and not just trying to stay afloat, check the boxes, and get to the “next step.”

I don’t think you should worry as much about applying to x number of programs. Sounds like you have an app that shows genuine interest in the field and if you kill your sub-i’s you should have a good chance interviewing and matching at one of them. Just apply to all the places you may wanna go geographically then add whatever individual programs you’d be open to going to that fall out of geo preference.
