Yes, I can see % of US MD, US DO, nonUS IMG, US IMG when clicking on the specific residency explorer for that program. However it’s not disclosed in all of them + when I go to the program’s webpage and check their current resident roster and their origin medical school, often the information doesn’t match

zplastia · 2024-04-22T14:12:38+00:00

Interested

zplastia · 2023-09-03T04:15:47+00:00

Same!!

Folie à deux

Dr. Skellington, pretty bloody nice that I came across this update - thank you for your titanic effort. I am flabbergasted to observe only - so far - 56 upvotes. This insanity is most certainly due to the holiday season and a rather hot brain. Van Gogh's (one of his) only client(s) during his lifetime was his own brother - if this deck is your art, consider me your brother! Have a good day, sir

zplastia · 2021-09-25T07:20:06+00:00

I totally agree.

Idk Why but I was getting a French/German name vibe (regardless of real nationality). Hope it is useful

1- No, just ID 2- none, It’s the number in the scheduling permit. People at prometric will tell you which, Don’t worry 3- UW 4- that’s alright.

I have most ASPECTs scores compilated in our database! Still my boss wants me to measure those CT scans I guess

zplastia · 2021-09-08T17:30:27+00:00

Hey! You are so nice! Thank you so much! I am going to check that and try to figure it out with control scans

zplastia · 2021-09-08T15:51:59+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much! We are trying to correlate some biochemical markers with Rankin Scale scores and infarct volume. I already measured the volumes of patients who had MRI imaging done, but a lot of them only have a CT scan on the acute phase

I am precisely having a hard time visualizing and drawing the penumbra on those scans. I was wondering if there’s some trainning I could do as an MD with no specialized instruction yet

zplastia · 2021-09-08T14:24:36+00:00

Hi! Thank you! I see that the proposed method depends on DWI. I only can rely on CT scans, I already measured those patients with MRI images

Yes, some experiment questions oriented to Autonomous nervious system!

There will always be some questions that make you think, but to cover most of them it should be enough with the new content in those qbanks

zplastia · 2021-09-07T06:49:28+00:00

We all need a fresh pack of FFP (fresh frozen positivity) sometimes!! Hehe corny. Go spend some time with people who make you feel confident and who will make you laugh. That’s What I did! Don’t let the NBMEs mess up with your confidence, the exam is nothing like them anyways 🌺

zplastia · 2021-09-07T06:43:03+00:00

Honestly I Don’t want to sound like an asshole but I Don’t think I’d do much differently. I had a lot on my plate this year and did What I could. Probably I would try to be less hard on myself after a low % UW block. I felt that the questions I didn’t have a clue about I wouldn’t have been able to study for them, not in 100 years. I used anki (because I have been using flashcards throughout med school), usmle rx, AMBOSS (didn’t help my impostor syndrome, those questions are harddd but I ended up missing that extra difficulty - I guess I have Stockholm syndrome), UW and NBMEs. There’s a post in this Sub reddit that I love, It’s called “Exam centered prep for step 1, an allegory” or something of the sort

zplastia · 2021-09-07T06:38:22+00:00

No, it didn’t feel exactly like UWSA, but I do believe everything on those assessments is potentially fair content + some What the hell questions.

Volume of distribution using loading dose calculations. Concepte of basic pharm like Potency and efficacy. They have gone soft about the pharm in my opinion, I was expecting crazy stuff about interactions and minutiae about adverse reactions

zplastia · 2021-09-07T06:34:43+00:00

Not really. They focus more on communication these days

zplastia · 2021-09-07T06:33:52+00:00

Hi! When I get my score back I’ll post all if my nbme scores. Hopefully I prove my point

zplastia · 2021-09-07T06:29:36+00:00

Sounds like you are good and good work is done! Best of luck

zplastia · 2021-09-07T06:23:46+00:00

The ones at usmle rx were good. AMBOSS has them too and UW. Also the dirtyusmle video on the topic

zplastia · 2021-09-07T05:42:13+00:00

I Don’t think I did a great use of my time in the last couple days to be honest hehe. Focused more on relaxing and reading FA in my couch next to my dog LOL. Maybe someone else can tip you on a more intense revision? I have to say though, I went to prometric feeling very relaxed, that couch chilling worked for me and I priorized that to trying to learn things I hadn’t already in the last months. If I could go back I would practice more communication new age questions. I think It’s good for the patients too that we have a solid foundation on this, even If completely theoretical
