I believe most institutions have guidelines regarding travel reimbursement. It is likely within somewhere their policy. Who did you talk to in order to get the contact for HR for escalation? Is it possible to go through a small claims court to recover the fees? That was going to be my last...

I had interviewed for a group practice back in August. I had booked my hotel and flights to travel across the country. They stated they would reimburse my expenses and I had filled out a W2 form for them after the interview. They told me they will process it and reimburse me as soon as possible...

Is 5000 RVU threshold difficult to attain for a first year? I'm also applying to NYC area as well. Anyone know what is the expected $/wRVU in NYC?

Is the ASH exam harder or easier compared to the ITE? And does anyone know if there is a % correct for passing? (like how for IM the number quoted was 65%)

Hi, I had mentioned this in the subsequent posts - In the contract, the total compensation structure stated is the guaranteed fixed rate noted above in my original post. I asked them about $/wRVU bonus but they had said it was "difficult to predict" and would not give me specific numbers. In...

Yes compensation is fixed from what I am gathering. They told me there was a wRVU bonus however that it was "difficult to predict" and could not give me specific numbers. In the contract there was no mention of the wRVU bonus. Only the guaranteed fixed rate noted above and a sign on bonus for...

That was my first thought Regarding compensation model, I was told there is no RVU threshold to be met. When I asked about the break down, they said it will essentially be the guaranteed + annual bonus (~10%). I clarified and said if there was a $/wRVU bonus in addition to that due to the high...

Or just more specific comments about chances for ANY low tier programs in particular? How do you know if a program is low tier? And what does it mean to specifically network in EM?

I was a Firecracker Legacy user with 147/2158 topics flagged and I was getting around 120-150 questions a day. I had always finished my questions by the end of the day. Once I transitioned over to Firecracker MD and set up my goal (which was 250 questions), I flagged a few more topics and...

Same here I wasn't sure if that was common among other places. How did you all meet, was she a nursing student? JK. Some med students at my school tend to head to bars after an exam and just relax but sometimes meet undergrads.

Didn't know there may be a stigma attending undergrad activities just one year away from college. No going to game days with the undergrads/med students anymore?
