Ask the attendings for feedback. The feedback you have received from the PA may still be valid, however I'd try to hear it from them directly first.

It's hard to give you advice because this clearly just comes down to some personal quirks related to your PD, and none of us really know your PD. It seems like your chair does and has gone to bat for you extensively. I would ask your chair how to approach this and do whatever they suggest.

These concerns are not unique to dermatology.

Nobody is going to care that you took vacation early. Let’s not lose the forest for the trees here—you are extending your dedicated step 2 studying time, presumably because you are worried that you are not going to hit your target score for your competitive specialty. If you have arrived at the...

Tread carefully... if the other institution is a Match-participating institution, they have already violated the match agreement by offering you a spot: Reporting and Investigation of Violations . You would be marked as a violator by the NRMP if your resign before your 45 days are up. Most...

You're lucky you're a freshman and that you'll have at least 2 years until you apply to show that this was a one-time thing. In the big scheme of things, this is not as bad as outright cheating, but probably worse than a non-academic IA (i.e. nobody cares about that time someone was caught with...

This is going to be a question for your school. Presumably they are aware that their students will apply for prestigious national programs and would not want to block them from doing that if selected. But this is a situation where it does you no good for us to speculate.

Hi there--I think this still fits within the general frame of the overall WL support thread, so I have merged your thread with the existing one :)

FWIW, plenty of private practice docs also **** talk academia. For you, it's a necessary evil to complete your training. Suck it up, learn what you need, get out when you can.

This question doesn't require anonymity, so you could post this publicly to get more perspectives. However yes you're overthinking this. If it was a problem, somebody would tell you so.

I agree with @LucidSplash , this is reportable. But as long as you own it and word what happened as suggested above, you'll be OK. If you try to dispute what happened, that is much much more likely to cause you trouble.

Yes, publications are forever. However, if you're aiming for a competitive specialty then you will eventually need publications in your field of interest.

The NRMP can't bar you from entering a residency if you're offered a position outside the match, but they can ban you from participating in the Match and label you as a match violator. This may or may not matter to you, depending on whether you're ever going to need to apply again (ie for...

For the reasons that you mention, these AI detectors are not being widely used because they are felt to be unreliable. Whether certain schools are using them, or how they are being used by a given school, is impossible to say. However I generally feel like nobody is getting rejected or making...

Yes. Google "NRMP charting outcomes"
