Hello all, I searched for similar forums but did not find any and I am in search of advice/experiences. I am currently a PGY-I in a middle tier Internal medicine Program. I have found that I am extremely unhappy in Internal medicine and I realize that it is not the specialty for me. I have...

Hello all, I came across this thread while looking for answers to my predicament and I am hopeful to find some good advice. I am a PGY-1 resident in an Internal Medicine program. I did well in medical school. I was in the top half of the class, scored above average on step 1 and Step 2, and had...

Thank you both for your insight. You've both been very helpful. Just a man looking for answers... If you don't mind, Let me pick your brains for just a few more minutes. Lets say, "hypothetically speaking", that a PGY 1 or 2 resident in IM has an interest in Emergency Medicine. He did not...

Let me clarify... I am not suggesting that IM/FP should be eligible to sit for emergency medicine boards with their current training, but obviously there are barriers to going back and doing a second residency. One commonly brought up issue is funding... Uncle Sam does not want to foot the full...

I know this is a slight deviation from the topic, but has there been any more talk about fellowship programs in EM for those with FP or IM background? I know this has been a hot button topic in recent years with the ABEM being strongly opposed to such things. My understanding is that the ABPS...

Hello all, I've have been reading through the forums but have yet to see any posts that answer my particular question. I apologize if this has been discussed before, but here it goes... If an intern in internal medicine were to decide late that he/she would like to pursue a combined EM/I'M...

3.8 gpa with a 30Q. VR-10 PS-8 BS-12 what do you think my changes are?

Can't the scores be released up to five days after the tentative release date?

It almost seems as if they enjoy watching us squirm.:scared:

I'm having a strong sense of impending doom. I don't think I want to see my score yet anyway, I've been in a pretty good mood for the past month, and all that could change the second I look at that score.

The thing about all this that frustrates me the most is that the part of the test that matters has most likely been graded for weeks. The written portion is what takes a month to grade, and I hear that they are getting rid of that section. In other words, we have to wait this long to see our...

I took the 3/24/2012 mcat and I have a quick question. When I log onto the THx score release website, it does not have anything listed for this test. I understand the scores will not be released until the 24th, but shouldn't it tell me that my exam is being graded or at least acknowledge that I...
