    ENT vs OB-GYN

    If you like pelvic anatomy and surgery UROGYN might be a good fit for you. Of course requires fellowship so 7 years of training but lifestyle is pretty good for a urogyn attending actually no real emergencies clinic and scheduled surgeries. I'd start with doing advance electives or Sub-I in both...

    Carver vs UVA

    I don't know a ton about UVA, but I think your ROI with Iowa is too hard to pass up. Not only do you get the benefit of IS tuition but you also have an additional amount off with scholarship. These loans add up quickly...I'm reminded every time I get my statement from Sallie-Mae lol. I can tell...

    2013-2014 University of Iowa (Carver) Application Thread

    I'll agree with my classmate markyb above. I'd take match lists with a grain of salt. Naturally our match lists are midwest heavy because most of the students are from this area. They tend to stay close to home and that's the reason for this bias. Those who are from OOS are usually those who...

    A Guinean pig in some sense of the words. Technically my class is the Guinean pig for 2 of the 3 strands...so you're welcome lol. Rest assured that faculty and staff have put a lot of time into this curriculum and they are heavily invested. Feedback is a very important part of education here at...

    This is correct. You'll have to live in Iowa for a year outside of being a student. This can be accomplished by deferring and working in Iowa for a year....or just living here for a year prior to your matriculation. Or You could marry an Iowan ;) For those alarmed at the OOS COA, wait for...

    ROAD specialties not as appealing anymore?

    I think this discussion this highlights that in the end pick a specialty that you'll enjoy for the rest of your career....something that you'll look forward going to most days (probably not every morning lol they'll be those days). You can't predict the future of a specialty or its...

    We do have a revisit weekend here at Carver. "Get Acquainted Day" is usually mid April (like 2nd week if I recall) and it is a blast. It sealed my decision to come to Carver and I recommend coming if you are on the fence or if you just want to get another look at the school and so of your...
