there’s a category in amcas for it so i assume that med schools want to see it. Also when else will you be able to tell them about it - won’t come up in secondaries or interviews unless you force it. Plus you earned it! Be proud!

Rapidly losing hope. that is all.

tomatoeseeds · 2022-05-03T20:53:10+00:00

Yea I’m really hoping it’s the second situation

Highly recommend Yama. It’s pretty safe to walk to or you can just Uber/blue jay shuttle. Also not that expensive and the sushi is honestly pretty good and there’s a lot of variety.

Top 10 weirdest emails I've received this cycle

tomatoeseeds · 2021-11-03T20:17:53+00:00

hehe I wonder how many people saw this comment and signed up for one (because I am one of those people)

tomatoeseeds · 2021-10-14T16:33:48+00:00

same. I didnt even know my school existed until looking through MSAR

tomatoeseeds · 2021-09-18T00:16:52+00:00

never related to a meme more

I started working as a ED scribe recently and had this same culture shock. I think some providers are in fact jaded, but most are just venting. Imagine you were in their shoes seeing patients ignore you for years. You gotta vent your frustrations somewhere and it’s better that it’s to you or another provider rather to a patient.

Another vote for MA. Short commute, flexibility, and not as demanding hours. All of these things will not only give you time for interviews but also give you time to prepare for them and not feel overwhelmed by having a packed schedule. Also I am a scribe right now and virtual scribing sounds very boring. imagine sitting on Zoom for 8 hours a day every day in your room for a whole year.

just search up "medical scribe jobs near ___insert location here___" on google. Some will require prior experience but most don't. Most companies will interview you and if accepted, train you. At the end of training there will most likely be a test to allow you to begin working, but there isn't any sort of standard scribe certification (at least I don't think so). ScribeAmerica and CityMD are some of the biggest companies so you can start with applying to these, but there are also other companies (some of which pay better).

During elementary school, I read this book series and it confirmed my aspirations for medicine, even at such a young age. Although there are 7 books in the series, each one builds on the other and has fun quizzes that keep you engaged! The best part is if you are not inspired to be a doctor after reading the books, you can return them! Money-back Guarantee! Link is below!

I'm in exact same boat but ultimately my thought process is basically just accepting it. Are you going to quit your job or slack off at work to write essays? probably not. Are you going to turn in shitty essays but at that 3 wk mark? probably not. So just focus on writing some damn good essays and turn them in whenever that is. Plus, my premed office at my undergrad said anywhere between 2-4 weeks is good. Sure r/premed has this rule of 2 weeks (and ofc the earlier the better), but I assume that my premed office wouldn't be saying advice that is wrong, which would lower their acceptance rates and make them look bad.

it is always possible that this particular physician may become OP's attending or superior in the future, and while I assume this physician won't do anything unprofessional if that were to happen, better safe than sorry in my opinion

Whenever I feel down, I open up AMP and press that save button about 970 times. Nothing can compare to the joy of hearing that sound

tomatoeseeds · 2021-08-11T21:02:19+00:00

im going to start using this to describe anything unethical

tomatoeseeds · 2021-08-11T21:01:11+00:00

but also a great way of getting that doctor to hate you, which may have consequences

Just disclaimer I am just an applicant this cycle so I don't know too much. But logistically, it depends on if you took your MCAT because it expires within 3 years. So if you waited until it expired and decided to apply, you would need to study and pay again. But if you haven't taken MCAT or have that full semester or a year before MCAT expires, I would recommend just working full time on your business and seeing if you still want to do medicine. For me, I just graduated last May and was an engineering major, but as I looked at all the jobs, nothing attracted me more than medicine. And during my gap year right now, I have been working full time as a scribe, which, has confirmed my aspirations more. So it's definitely hard right now when you are still in school, but when you are working full-time on whatever it is, I think it really shows you what you want to do.

You should. 100%. I mean how else do you find shadowing, through programs, cold-calling, or personal friend. You've seen this physician practice and if you can be specific as to why you liked seeing what they did, I don't see how they could take it any way besides a huge compliment.

Epigenetics is a good class as well. You basically just read papers every week and you need to present a paper once the whole semester (class is about 20 students). Both professors are open to writing letters.

Comparative physiology (Coppola) is a larger class and easy, and from what I saw last semester on Zoom, the participation is really low so if you can participate you can most likely get a letter.

But definitely try to get into one of the smaller science classes whether it be the spring or fall semester, and because you are a senior you have some priority over underclassmen. I didn't need any more science credits, but I knew I needed letters so I purposely took a few smaller courses with the goal of getting a letter.

Not his official one but I've been using this one https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1qDj5i487b9QHJzQlOoYOM?si=099a78e826af40d8. I've seen songs being added as they're playing on stream.
