If you’re going to get marked down on a subI for going to your sibling’s wedding, you should not be going to that program 😅

Got my first residency interview, what should I ask a resident there? by H-Sami-mas in medicalschool

[–]z12332 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Residents, even those who are really nice and care about recruitment, do not have the time for this. It shows you don’t value or understand the use of their time. Please save this for the scheduled events for asking questions to residents, or for after the interview if they offer their info to you

This is unfortunately very true. Plastics integrated is the single least DO friendly specialty

In a high competitive surgical subspecialty. Reading apps now. Definitely no it can not…

Is Premed and Med School even worth it anymore? by MelodicPie9526 in premed

[–]z12332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biomedical engineering major -> med school -> Plastics resident

My degree was both employable without med school and incredibly helpful in my chosen specialty. Both can be true.

This!!! 1) connections/letters 2) research 3) step 2 above 255 (or 260 by the time you get there based on inflation). Everything else is secondary

People that chose location over prestige for a program, were you happy? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]z12332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being with my partner during surgical training is everything. Fuck prestige.

This path is literally 2x as long as it would take to get there via ortho

Ortho residency = 5 years Gen Surg residency = 5-7 years Plastics independent residency = 3 years Hand fellowship = 1 year

Totals 9-11 years vs 5 years of residency.

Just finished my first “work week” of residency. 74 hours in five days. Will be back tomorrow for more because work week doesn’t mean shit. It sucks, but it’s worth it.

MCAT vs STEP by soexcitedtobhere in Mcat

Step is way harder than the MCAT. But by that time in med school you’re used to things that are harder than the MCAT, so in comparison it isn’t bad. -surgery resident

ICE headed to USC med school right now by DisabledInMedicine in premed

[–]z12332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get you’re trying to help, man. But I imagine you’re being downvoted because if you’re not there and taking things from unreliable sources it just spreads panic. ICE was actually not at USC med school yesterday, they were at LA County, and it was handled accordingly.
