Is Uworld for Step 3 sufficient to do well on the day 1 part that has more preclinical topics like pharm and micro? My step 1 score is 234, step 2 241. I know I definitely need to go hard on biostats as aside from 1 or 2 calculations on my step 1 and 2 all my biostats questions were heavily...

This is a rather gross distortion from a random person. Literally all the residents/fellows and faculty at my large program look like normal people. Hell don't even believe me, just another random person- Google pathology residency and look at the resident photos. Plain unremarkable is what...

If you already have low expectations I would just forget about it. Our outgoing and incoming fellows were both derm trained even though dermpath is part of the path department here. With my decent name program I don't know a single one of the PGY2 through 4 that matched it and all of them were...

The VCs and investment bankers are definitely going to go heavy into this and shave even more off what they can pay real pathologists.

Several of the attendings in my department come in with jeans and polo shirts or button down shirts with sneakers. Most of these guys are middle gen X. It's the PhDs in chem or molecular that are the best dressed.

Which country is this? Republic of Ireland which is using the British system is pure pathology. You do your intern year (6 months medicine/6 surgery) then start path training.

I think you might be surprised, lots of wealthy people that went into medicine for prestige reasons. I know one pediatrician making a bit under $40k a year for one shift a week. Comes from some deep rooted racing family in England. Additionally the huge number of IMGs in path and most have zero...

Sorry to double post, on some forums using this software it won't send a notification if an @ is edited in. Anyone else care to comment on SoCal, Phoenix, Florida job markets in relation to each other @LADoc00 maybe? Thanks.

I was thinking more central Florida than south Florida, or is the entire state pretty much saturated?

After seeing so many replies in the other thread on local hiring I decided it's probably best that as much as I like my school's hospital it's probably best to leave to some place I'd like to settle. So I'm asking about the various Florida programs, any information about them, red flags, etc...

Is doing out of state networking a realistic thing, or does it really have to be local/in state?

Probably around 4-5 hours on weekdays. Then take the weekends off.

What is pay like as a fellow?

All excellent advice thanks everyone. I suppose I'll apply for a few "reach" spots, but after talking to our counselor will be looking into a lot more options
