Dear beloved elder statesmen of medical toxicology, Every year we hear that the boards are going to change to be more "reflective" of the current practice of toxicology. Yet still with each iteration of board-takers, we hear that the questions still value the traditional homage to the obscure...

Hey Guys, I know this thread has been inactive for some time but I desperately need some help. So a friend of mine pointed out that my LES didn't give me credit for the time spent in (a 3 year) civillian residency. I have been to our post personnel office, which supposedly adjusted my PEBD...

Hi friends, For those of us that will be starting the "advanced" phase of GME and jumping into a Tox fellowship next year, is there any advice you senior fellows or new grads can offer us wannabes? For example: -Here is the best text, online review, pocket guide, etc to use... -The Tox...

Plus, I think I would feel bad cutting the sleeves off if I had to pay for them.... How bout a The Todd-reference, Five?!

I agree with MSmentor and Jamers. As a D.O. candidate with about 60th percentile comlex scores I felt it was absolutely necessary for me to take the USMLE. I also felt my best bet was Step II (don't forget that you don't need to take them sequentially so you can take Step II without taking...

Guys, I thought I would throw my "misery loves company" 2 cents in. I thought the In-service drew from the same question bank as the PEER VII questions. I dont think the ABEM questions mirrored the PEER questions nearly to the same degree. I walked in to the PEARSON Testing Center thinking...

There are many of us in primary care (and not so primary care) training programs getting ready to begin our first Army job, who are being "requested" to fill either a battalion surgeon or flight surgeon billet. Anybody (ideally who has recently served in this capacity) want to share there...

Hey all, Does anyone know how Army fellowship applicants are notified? Do we sign into the mods.army.mil site on Wed and just get a yeah or nay (or deferred)? I really cant remember the process from 3 years ago...not a good sign. Looks like i picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue...

Hey Guys, As an upcoming civillian-def HPSP EM grad, I feel very out of the loop about the "job-search". I am interested in flight surgeon slots but I was told that the best way to approach it is to call the unit commander and start a dialogue about potential upcoming openings. Does anyone...

Indiana has always seemed to bridge that gap of elite EM training without an elitist attitude. Since the class of 2006 started, they have had at least one D.O. in the program. Although they only have one D.O. EM faculty (Kevin Terrell), he is an acomplished and well respected researcher. I...

Hey friends, I recently "heard" that the air force is letting their Emergency medicine grads do fellowship training in critical care (eventhough there is still no Board cert. track currently) and that (more importantly :)maybe the Army will follow suit soon. Anyone able to confirm/deny...

Greetings, I am an R2 in IU's EM program and will be doing an away rotation this spring, likely during March and I'm looking to sublet my 2 bedroom condo in a great location in Indy. Any visiting students that need a place to stay for the month let me know! Robb [email protected]

Hey all, Im Army but would love any and all insight. I am wondering about the procedure for applying for fellowships, particularly civillian programs. I defered to do a civillian EM program. Is the process the same as applying for residency...e.g apply and rank the military programs (if...

-I had planned on taking USMLE step I but cancelled last minute b/c of feeling ill-prepared. -Did take USMLE II (as well as COMLEX I&II). There is a lot of philosophy on whether a D.O. should take the USMLE. Two quick thoughts: For me it was worth the extra scratch. Secondly, it was...
