    Medical Trying to get off med school waitlist - should I have my boss call school?

    Good luck regardless :). Seems like you have already been accepted at other places - relax and enjoy while you can - read some good non-fiction books - who knows when you will get time to do so next :)

    Medical Trying to get off med school waitlist - should I have my boss call school?

    May be I am in minority here - are not necessary - is not the same as absolutely don't send it. If this is truly your #1 dream school then you don't want to think what if down the road. You could reach out to your interviewer or dean of admission - I am mean who will be mad with knowing that...

    Medical Matching into competitive specialities with a criminal background (smoking pot)?

    Did this not come up during your med school applications? I am assuming you will matriculate Aug 2022 so the medical schools may not have cared as NoaAProgDirector said - even if discovered may not matter much Also, I am assuming that since your ACOD was sealed you stayed out of trouble for...

    Hi Obiwan - long time, haven’t seen you in a while (but to be accurate, i don’t come here that often anymore) - I know that training baylor-Dallas is pretty good from a few people who went there for fellowship - earlier was a community college but now with Scott and white maybe will have better...

    "Help Me Rank" IM 2022

    one thing that you need to keep in mind is the visa type - there are fellowship programs that will not take certain kinds of visas so be cognizant of that - especially the ones that have in-house fellowship and you want to match into - IM will give you H1 and then fellowship won't sponsor H1...

    it certainly should be higher than where it is. Smaller program - usually likes their own; have a fellow attending from there - good training what fellowship are you looking at?

    Ohio State likes their own residents so that may come in handy - work hard and stay - good education CCF usually doesn’t take their own - in the past 1-2 out of 10 rochester Utah …

    you are probably better off keeping Methodist on top just for the volume of patients you will see - as a hospitalist, you will ned to be efficient and this training is probably going to help you

    UVA above Baylor and USC for cardiology

    "Help Me Rank" IM 2022

    If EP is ultimate goal, then Michigan should be #2; Vandy def #1 (solid IM, cards, EP) WashU #3 UTSW EP is ok and a mandatory research year for gen cards - something to keep in mind but solid training for IM and Cards (or at least it was when I was interviewing) Emory above Mayo (for me) - but...

    fellow driven, less hands-on from what I have heard; also the number of cases is less from IM stand point. Education is great but medicine is learnt by doing IMHO

    General cardiology - how to be marketable

    As an EP physician, I humbly request you not to be a cowboy and start putting pacemakers/devices just because you can. I have seen my fair share of disasters as one of the few extractor in the region plus the device followup with general cards seems to be just for revenue stream only. And so...

    "Help Me Rank" IM 2022

    List looks good as it is - at least top 4 - Maimonides may be more malignant (at last from past reputation), so would keep that last IMHO and OK should be higher on your list My best interview experience was at OHSU - seemed like very dedicated teachers - good match list and strong primary...
