Hello all, I’m more than 1 year from graduation. I know from reading the forum that the job market is in shambles (*fear*), but generally I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts/knowledge on the state of rad onc in Maine. If I had to guess I would imagine major universities are expanding up...

lol similar interests here! I’m actually a rad onc graduating in a couple years and looking for contacts in urology graduating around the Same time interested in living out west in a small town! If you meet anyone who fits the bill let me know!

As the title implies, Is this a thing? And if so, how would I go about finding one in my area? Guidance appreciated.

Hi all, I'm a recently matched future rad onc. I am really happy with where I matched and am looking forward to the next 5 years. However, where I matched is geographically REALLY far away from where I hope to eventually practice (pp). To add to this, the place I am hoping to go I don't have...

Would love some thoughts on my situation: Mid-tier state school, Step 1 220's (I know, I couldn't believe it), and strong research/unique angle with one publication. Currently doing one away due to scheduling issues at my restrictive school. Is there anything I can do to reach out to other...

Is the aba portal website working for anyone else? where are results posted? Once it logs me in it just says my name, then all of the links are dead except to the main aba website

Does anyone have a good sense for what the current screening cutoff is in Uro? I know it varies per program, but a few years ago people were able to ballpark it around 220 (in 2009 I think), so I was wondering if anyone could ballpark it now?

Question re: what the competition is like out there: ITE scores, research, etc? Is it more common than not to have great scores, good research? Being in the middle of Ca2 and having taken the new board exam a few months ago, I can say I have not done much besides show up to work and then head to...

Ca-1s: Anyone out there have a solid plan for studying for the new Part 1? I am steadily realizing how dumb I am. I'm getting the hang of anesthesia as a Ca-1 but I've lost all the basic pharm/phys knowledge I had as a medical student, and now I find that most of what we will need to know is...

Well, I WAS gonna ask how to prepare for my pain rotation, but I see that question has already been asked. I am starting my PGY-1 year in July with a month-long pain rotation. So my question is this: wtf does an intern on a pain rotation DO? I can imagine what I will be doing on all my other...

I don't speak legalese, and I am also financially ******ed, so (not kidding) I'm hoping someone can confirm for me what this means: "Income-based Repayment (IBR): ACA reduces the repayment formula of the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) program from 15 percent of adjusted gross income to 10...

Hey guys, So I fell hard for my #1 and while I think they liked me too, the reply I got to my "you're my #1" email didn't say "you will be ranked to match." So this got me thinking about how one goes about contacting their higher number but not #1 programs. I feel like if your...

Just wondering if any of you guys can relate... right now I'm mentally like a cat you're trying to put into a bathtub full of water, trying to avoid the thought of starting internship/residency/real life. i'm scared and panicking about whether i will match, where i will match if i do match...

Hey guys, Just wondering if there are any U of Utah med student proto-anesthesiologists out there. I've got a question for a Utah med student and can't seem to find anyone to ask! If you go there/just recently graduated from there, could you PM me and let me know? Thanks! IgM
