I have a partial tricep tear that needs to be repaired. It is scheduled for 6/19, with my Step 1 scheduled for 6/22, and surgery rotation scheduled for 7/3. I figure I'll be out of my brace by 7/3, and the surgery itself won't take that long so I'll really only lose 1 day. I figure the...

Does anyone know where Tulane does third year rotations, or where to find that info? Surely they round at Tulane, but where else. Ochsner, UMC, other NOLA hospitals, places outside of NOLA?

Damn, that sucks - sorry to hear that. But it is crazy that they didn't warn you that you were in probation or something after the first fail. As for advice, I really don't know. Did you read the student manual to see if there was anything that could be done besides an appeal? In my manual it...

You know what's ****ed up? She started a GoFundMe for $25k (guess she's trying to make a profit), and already has $16k.

Wild how much variation there is in PA education too. So at our school, that is definitely not the case. I remediated anatomy, and the remediation was taken with the PA students. It was 100x easier. To put it simply, I was making like 40s in my med school class and I was getting high 90s on the...

I'm a current med student at a relatively well known state school, not primary care focused but not exactly a research powerhouse either.

I am someone who for whatever reason has never been able to get research experience. I tried throughout college and my master's program, nada. I wrote up cover letters, sent lots of emails, etc. I applied for research summer programs, always denied. Is there some secret I am missing? I'm not...

I'm super bummed because I ****ed up first semester and failed Anatomy by 3%. Now I have to retake it during the summer, including lab - and I hated lab. And it is all in person while first semester it was half-virtual. I mean I'm glad I won't get kicked out of school or have to repeat the...

Tulane released their's: Match Results & Archive UQ Ochsner did too: Match rates and locations

If the issue is you dislike being a pharmacist, want to make more money, and have a chiller lifestyle - I can't recommend health IT enough unless you absolutely hate computers and/or working in an office (not an issue with WFH). Epic and hospitals with Epic love former pharmacists. They make...

Can you tell me about the scholarship/aid situation here. Tuition is steep. Are a lot of students getting aid, or are people really taking on 100k of debt per year?

I'm a non-trad who has worked an office job for the past 3 years. Minimal stress, ~40 hours per week. How does med school compare? I'm not looking to go into a surgical field or anything, psych or PM&R would be fine with me. Considering that, is 40 hrs/wk sufficient for med school (on average)...

Not true anymore. I didn't go to a "best of the best" school and I have multiple friends who made it into big law. You can verify this by going on Linkedin and looking at associate profiles. I am located in the South and am referring to the big law firms down here (branches of the big national...

Before going Caribbean, consider other IMG schools. IMO, UQ-Ochsner is way better than the Caribbean even if it is worse than MD/DO. And I'm not convinced it is worse than the very worst DO schools. Personally, if I were in your position, I would go into tech. Or nursing if you absolutely have...

So I looked at the match list (PDF in the link) here: And that’s a 97% match rate. I counted 88 people. This link says they have a cap of 120: About the UQ-Ochsner Program – Ochsner Medical Student Association. This link says the class size will be smaller in coming years: The new University of...
