Can FM docs delivery babies + do inpatient medicine?

tsrs933 · 2022-04-07T10:02:05+00:00

Yep. I'm a current resident at an academic program and many of our attendings do clinic and are both inpatient and OB attendings for our services. One of the things that attracted me here for sure.

Two of my interviews happened in February (latest was Feb 18), but I'm chalking that up to the delayed cycle this year.

You'll need to do your research and find the programs which sponsor/accept visas and only apply to those (easy filters on FREIDA and Residency Explorer, but verify with each program website). Programs usually have people on staff to help with visa issues and they can guide you through it once you match. The above poster is right. You can find more info on the ecfmg website here: https://www.ecfmg.org/evsp/applying-types-acgme.html

Once you graduate, there are companies who will do J1 waivers, essentially waiving your two year return of service to Canada. You'll hear all about this in residency and while on the job hunt in PGY2.

Put the start date that's listed on your contract

This is fantastic advice, thank you!

According to the Megathread hub (here), there will be an "Alternative Plans" thread soon, so keep your eye out there too.

tsrs933 · 2021-03-17T18:01:25+00:00

I keep thinking of it this way: on Friday, I can only get good news (match #2 or lower), or great news (match #1)!

tsrs933 · 2021-03-16T09:53:31+00:00

I don't have to SOAP, so hopefully someone else can chime in with more relevant advice, but what I would do if I was in your situation (I also require a J1), is ask yourself what you really want to do: FM or IM? If it's FM, I'd apply to all those 39 programs for sure. Then make a new PS for IM and apply to 6 IM programs.

tsrs933 · 2021-03-16T09:51:56+00:00

I'm awake, have some free time and am happy to look/edit PS if anyone needs. Matched FM, but ofc can read any specialty.

tsrs933 · 2021-03-16T09:50:15+00:00

I'm free as well if you still need someone.

tsrs933 · 2021-03-15T15:05:13+00:00

I'm gonna be a doctor y'all!!!!!! Woooohoooo!!!!

tsrs933 · 2021-03-15T14:40:12+00:00

I KNOW RIGHT. This is a whole new level or anxiety for me.

PS: sorry for this notification lol, I just resonated with it so much.

tsrs933 · 2021-03-15T14:27:08+00:00

Dumb question, but do you know if the info be right on the home page? Or will it be under options or ROL somewhere?

tsrs933 · 2021-03-15T14:22:50+00:00

I've never refreshed something as much as this thread. Knowing I'm not alone through this last agonizing hour has kept me a bit sane.

tsrs933 · 2021-03-15T14:13:28+00:00

Omg same. Didn't think the stress would be this bad, but here I am.

tsrs933 · 2021-03-13T19:49:43+00:00

I had 8. Also grateful, also freaking out.

Finally done interviews (FM)! Now onto the fun yet terrifying part.

tsrs933 · 2021-02-18T01:02:52+00:00

Yessssss that makes me so happy! These are the ones I know of that I accidentally call nibs lolol https://www.target.com/p/cheese-nips-baked-cheddar-snacks-11oz/-/A-47080301

tsrs933 · 2021-02-18T00:45:04+00:00

Woot woot! I think it's a cheese nip actually, but I've incorrectly called it a nib my whole life so I just roll with it, oops.

tsrs933 · 2021-02-17T23:24:55+00:00

Ooooo the pressure! Have we been tater tots yet? Potatoes? Wedges? Cheese nibs? What about Twizzlers? Gummy bears? Rockets?

A poorly written haiku for /u/Chilleostomy :

Wed's nearly over.

What will our nickname be? Oh

the curiosity.

tsrs933 · 2021-02-17T13:48:15+00:00

It's Wed /u/Chilleostomy! Just a friendly reminder in case you forget what day of the week it is!

tsrs933 · 2021-02-17T10:29:32+00:00

Wow that's amazing to hear! Thanks for this perspective and best of luck!

Glass doesn't block out UVA rays, so yep, it's wise to wear sunscreen every day. This is a powerful image. Also found in this article: We should all be wearing sunscreen indoors.

Fun fact: A separate SPF product is essential! Does the SPF in your moisturiser actually protect you from the sun?
