I'm a new day attending and I gotta say the grass is definitely looking very green on the other side.... seriously, this social bs and administrative stuff is exhausting! How long did it take to get used to your role? Did you join where you trained?

k.... so moving beyond the LA sucks and we should all move elsewhere theme of this thread and getting back to what the thread owner asked.... my wife just joined with loma linda for 250. 7 on 7 off with only about 11 nights of cross coverage requirement (no admissions) which can be farmed out to...

Had no idea employer will pay for it... Thanks for all the help and advice guys. Much appreciated!

So I am strongly considering delaying my boards to next year. I just graduated IM residency and joined a chief residency in patient safety and quality. There are a bunch of mitigating circumstances which have taken my attention off studying and we can discuss them all but at this point my...

After training in India, I fear that I may need to go back to my med school in person to get some of their requirements...

ACGME site has a page where you can search new program accreditation by specialty and year. Google acgme newly accredited programs and you should find it.

I respectfully disagree. At this point in the game no one is going to spoon feed you. You have to go and actively find/create opportunities for yourself. It's easy to get complacent in the schedule of 9-5 and filling out the pt notes, but if you actively show interest and ask for case reports...

Does anyone else have sick leave come out of their PTO time? Our program gives us 15 days PTO including all time off no matter what including sick leave. The deadline to submit vacation requests is tomorrow and I have asked the coordinator about what happens if we schedule all our PTO and we...
