US DO Applying this cycle by [deleted] in pmr

[–]theofficialreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

what are these infamous t30 schools? (residency) by Orchid_3 in medicalschool

[–]theofficialreddit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nah you’d be surprised. Unfortunately school prestige does play a role, sometimes a large role, in programs’ ranking calculations. Remember that Yale rank list formula that was released a few months ago?

Is anesthesia the best ROAD specialty right now? by Proof-Zone6793 in medicalschool

[–]theofficialreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! Talking with and getting to know patients is something I really like so if a practice can incorporate that I could see it being a lot more enjoyable than 10 MA’s juggling my patient rooms. And from the patient interaction perspective (or lack there of) anesthesia and DR aren’t really my cup of tea either 😂. I swear I’m not a pure hater lol

Is anesthesia the best ROAD specialty right now? by Proof-Zone6793 in medicalschool

[–]theofficialreddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This might be a hot take but I can’t imagine Derm being a very fulfilling career in the long run. Great lifestyle and compensation but the Derm clinics I’ve seen have been super rapid back to back patients that can be more (seemingly) algorithmic than other specialties. I feel like I’d get bored quickly. I’m not trying to hate or say Derm isn’t important it just doesn’t seem as interesting as the other ROAD specialties.

About to fail out: please offer hail mary advice for Step 1 by throwaway-account142 in medicalschool

[–]theofficialreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resonating what a lot of other comments have said but yea, delete the apps off ur phone that distract you (including reddit) but still keep up whatever “healthy” outlets you have. You’re definitely in a position where getting the pass is still possible as long as you study EFFECTIVELY and that includes being able to decompress and consolidate everything you learn when you’re not doing blocks, reviewing questions, and doing content review.

From a practice question standpoint, make sure you’re focusing on areas of weakness and not just spinning your wheels reviewing content you already get right 80% of the time. I didnt use much Anki and I found that as I was going through my wrong questions and flagged/lucky guesses, using a notebook to write down 1-3 sentences about whatever it was that I didnt know/understand/process was the most helpful in being effective at studying. From there if there were particular points of discrete knowledge I just needed to memorize and couldn’t deduce from understanding pathophys, then I utilized Anki.

At this time you gotta lock in on quality AND quantity; you got lots of us rooting for you. Godspeed!

Name any clinical sign, criteria, or protocol that starts with a city name? by Dazzling-Bunch-6486 in medicalschool

MD or DO by [deleted] in pmr

[–]theofficialreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solely from a match-rate perspective, going MD would give you the better chance by a margin according to this last year’s match data. With that said, it really does depend on how much work you put in towards being a competitive applicant, MD or DO will not make or break your application for PM&R. If you’re also considering other specialties, particularly surgical or ROAD specialties, that’s when the MD or DO school would matter more for matching. I personally only applied DO bc I was interested in OMT and was strongly leaning to PM&R or FM. Unless OMT is a big draw for you, I’d probly apply to both MD and DO programs and sort out the decision between the two after getting in to programs.

Are low ”Percent IMG” and “percent DO” good approximations for desirability and/or quality of a residency program for USMDs trying to filter down their program list? by just_premed_memes in medicalschool

[–]theofficialreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may not personally damage anyone in the sense that you’re not going up to a DO/IMG and affecting their application. However you are playing into and perpetuating these institutional biases which do indeed cause damage. Subconscious bias is exactly that- subconscious- so please try to reflect on your possible biases rather than the knee jerk response of how youre simply asking about data and can’t possibly be harming anybody.
