The title gets to the point of it. I took a research year at a competitive DR residency and thought I was doing really well, succeeding, and making great connections. I applied IM as a backup. On match day yesterday I find out I matched IM into a program I didn’t even rank in my top 10.
To be honest I’m pretty upset. I really wanted to match DR and thought this program liked me. I was in everything but name guaranteed a spot and told that this position looks incredible for my application. I guess it didn’t….
My question is: if I complete one year of my IM residency, can I reapply DR and have my first IM year count as my preliminary year?
Has anyone noticed how Ted Hitchcock’s hair in season 2 of Shoresy looks like a pressed panini on the sides? Kinda funny considering he falls for and peruses Pam, the waitress at Peppi Panini….
I’m starting to prepare for Step 2CK and I’m considering getting Amboss as a supplemental question bank to do along with UWorld. Is it worth it? Has anyone had success with it, and if so, how’d you use it?
Is it worth doing the Clinical Neurology and Emergency Medicine questions for the Internal Medicine shelf? I’m super swamped this rotation and barely have enough time for the Medicine section questions but I don’t want to miss out on relevant/tested material. Thank you!!
I just passed Step 1 and will start my first rotations in August in Miami, Fl. I was wondering if anyone had tips for saving money during clerkship or while living in a big city…
