Hi, I graduated in 2006 (US medical school), and left my residency program without completing it (completed 1 year of pathology residency) in order to raise children. My husband (pathologist, graduate '05, currently practicing) and I are considering what it would take (or if it would even be...

Bear with me on this one; I've been on leave from residency quite a while. What margins do I need to report on actinic keratosis? I know that different attendings report this differently. Thanks.

Is it completely unreasonable for the OP to simply discuss the issue VERY politely and candidly with the company in question? If he/she has legitimate reasons (family ties, spouse career, kids' schooling, health needs, etc) for wanting to remain in one area, given the number of people looking...

I am just very happy to see a civil, productive, intelligent discussion on SDN of the job market. And grateful to those who are making an effort to look into this issue - thank you :thumbup:. Certainly our personal experience has been that this is a tough, tough market this year. My husband...

:wow:

Welcome back LADoc! :)

My husband said he called and left an intro type message. They never returned his call... so who knows. Perhaps they are looking for particular subspecialties? But the OP could call. What could it possibly hurt?

I've seen this too, and we called about it... I'm not certain, but we think it is a recruiter. But certainly worth a call.
