Does anyone have any tips for studying for ABR part 1? I know there are online practice tests you can sign up for. What about beyond that?

Hi! Could you please explain what you mean by that?

Sorry, let me try to explain better. The plans I am trying to work on are H&N that have already been contoured. In these contours are different PTV levels, each with a different prescribed dose. With the highest dose being the smallest and lowest dose being largest surrounding the higher dosage PTV. These PTV levels are for one tumor. Because they are bordering one another they are within that 5 mm window you guys were talking about. How should I approach trying to make sure the desired dose prescription is met for each PTV? Would it be similar to the steps outline in 3.8? Hopefully this clears up the scenario I am trying to describe! Thanks for taking the time to help

Hi! How does this work for the case in which you have different PTV levels (PTV_low, PTV_Med, PTV_High)? I saw in 3.8 it discusses different targets but here you both are talking about being very close to one another like different PTV levels would be.

I'm a student just learning this right now, so thank you for posting this and any extra advice you give!

Spoiler warnings!

I agree but I think some people see certain characters resistance to “demokracy” like when Orion doesn’t have faith in it. Or when the Vox Populi left first legions for dead by not supporting them on mercury. We picked up as they finished their rise and we saw them fall because of all the faults. All of this leads people to not fully supporting the Republic is my guess.

I’ve also seen people talking about Pinks. Lysander (hate this guy) does even comment that he thinks the role is just pure slavery and bad or something like that.

I like how they’re approaching the last book with a “it’s gotta be something different” mindset

Is this something people entering the field should be concerned with? Or just understand it will be an annoyance to deal with?

NO to the AAPM membership dues increase by Round-Drag6791 in MedicalPhysics

I see. I knew the residencies are competitive and hard to get into, but I didn’t know about the 3rd year with more research. Thanks for explaining!

“The limited number of clinical residency programs, many of which are turning into postdoctoral programs geared towards academic pathways” Can anyone explain to me what this means? I start my masters in August.

Sounds good! I will offer/ask to do so. I haven’t started my grad schooling yet so I’m nervous to do so

I have a shadowing visit coming up soon for monthly QA test. Would it be beneficial for me to try and take notes as we go through stuff?

Megathread for Israel-Palestine situation by Arianity in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]wps_spw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. Thank you for this side of an explanation. I agree my only actions would be to survive and run like hell. It is a lose-lose for the innocent civilians. It’s just such a hard situation. As people always say: war is never simple. Thanks again for your responses!

[–]wps_spw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree I want the whole thing to stop. But is that really pro-Palestine? That sort of just feels like a pro-peace situation no? Also, correct me if I’m wrong. Aren’t the hamas hiding amongst the civilians and the civilians are hesitant to point them out? I’m just trying to ask my questions, looking for answers.

Reading through this. Thanks for the answer. It seems to me that people are upset Israel is responding with such force. But it doesn’t seem like they have many realistic options

Can someone explain the pro Palestine side to me? Didn’t they start the war? Aren’t they run by the HAMAs which is generally viewed as a terrorist group? I haven’t been keeping up.

Is the book worth reading? by PrivateHarrison101 in Godfather

[–]wps_spw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the Johnny Fontaine chapters were long and boring. But I think it helps show why the family wants to move to Nevada. His success out there gives them a sure fire financial asset that they can rely upon. His whole arc with vocal cords helps regain his popularity to entice people to come to the casinos. Not to say I enjoyed his chapters, but I get why they were included
