In real life these things aren't happening every single night. When I was a medical student I thought critical limb ischemia would be common, but we see it infrequently (we don't even see too many CTA of the legs in patients with limb pain on diagnostic call). Despite bring at a very busy trauma...

Probably should wait until April 1 to pull an April Fools Joke, just sayin.

There are many opportunities, but people generally don't take advantage. Most "basic science" work that radiologists do is really translational rather than bench/animal work in The traditional basic science sense.

Really? MRI and PET are just blunt tools without an incredible amount "raw, interpretable information"? Path slides and medical images both have huge amounts of information and require expertise to interpret. I bet if your access to path slides was as easy as it is to images, then you would...

probably lower but why does that matter? the point is that if your experience and knowledge is that of the avg of a US grad you shouldn't have any trouble.

How would it result in a lower score? If you order a stat CT, you should always advance to the clock to next result not to 4 hours or whatever. If the laparotomy takes more time to begin, you keep the pt stable. This is not difficult stuff if you have any experience. CCS is about how you...

I used UW as my only prep and scored >250. Having a head CT come back at the wrong interval is not a critical error in the software. You manage a case based off of the information you are given. You do the best you can. If you are stupid, no prep product is going to help :laugh::meanie:

Obviously time is brain, but if you dont have the CT result your hands are tied because it could be a hemorrhagic stroke. uw probably should have the CT come back sooner, but in the real world, CT scans don't get read at precise intervals. You gotta use judgement and do the best thing you can...

I do not work for uworld, but used their products along with others. In general their products were superior in my opinion. Maybe you need to check your knowledge base before saying I should repeat intern year and accuse of me of ignorance of stroke protocol in America. You say "there is no...

you always end with the 5 min screen for the final orders whether it sends you there well before you only have 5 min left or not.

I agree with overactive...UWORLD is not the problem. Uworld provides a framework and a basic order to approaching a case and goes over the basic things you must do in certain clinical scenarios. overactive is correct, the software is really looking for you to go on the right track for the...

this thread is ridiculous. It doesn't matter what you do: ty, prelim med, prelim surg. The specific program is probably more important...we all know of the malignant med/surg programs, but there are definitely some brutal TYs out there as well. If anything a prelim medicine year may be...

for radiology it doesn't matter, many fellowship applicants won't even have step 3 scores at the time of application. the exam is essentially irrelevant to the entire field of radiology

the fact that the FSMB runs the registration for Step 3 is extremely messed up. the September deadline is ridiculous, its not as if the calendar year really matters here. then once you do sign up, the FSMB automatically starts your eligibility period that day, giving you no chance to sign up...
