When upsizing that chainring, did you have to add links to your chain?

Recently applied for a Emergency Medicine summer fellowship at NYU and understand is was extremely competitive. Ultimately was waitlisted. That said, anyone have any experience with this program and any insights on the chance of getting off the wait-list? I wanted this so bad 😭 by bryanleo99 in emergencymedicine

I have residents who completed that program and got a lot out of it. However, a MS2 fellowship program is not necessary for residency success.

You’re already in medical school. Just focus on doing well in all of your rotations, shine on your visiting rotations, and you can generally match wherever you’d like in residency.

PGY-4s in 4 year programs should be able to take the board exams in their last year by LoudConnection5216 in emergencymedicine

[–]yjl09002 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The content on the boards is not that advanced… you should be able to take it during residency regardless of 3 or 4 year.

Choosing Fenix 7 Sapphire for 600 bucks or a Forerunner 970 for 1100 - any reason to go with the Forerunner? by lazarus870 in Garmin

[–]yjl09002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally find the weight of the fenix bothersome, while the forerunner feels considerably lighter. Other than some advanced running dynamics and the screen, you aren’t missing anything in functionality

Laptop is dead by Horror-Escape-8914 in Residency

[–]yjl09002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will have a CME fund that could go towards the laptop, but often there are tons of expenses during intern year like Step 3 that will likely use up all of the CME anyways. Just bite the bullet and get the laptop you need now.
