Sounds like a sweet gig honestly, where is this???

Idk, seems a bit harder to get a level 3 MDM inpatient from my perspective. Previously simply reviewing old records and summarizing or independently interpreting a study would pretty much get you there, now have to do that plus be on a high risk medication or have a worsening condition / threat...

Agree with stop checking folate as folate deficiency seems to be exceptionally rare based on this article Also they note - Intake of folate through a meal or ingestion of an oral supplement directly preceding evaluation of serum folate can lead to falsely elevated levels (false negatives)...

DOACs are still off label for LV thrombus apparently, per cardiology at my institution. Said they'd do coumadin for medicolegal reasons (whether that's valid or not) not enough studies on DOACs yet....

Ahhhhh even the certification status Internal Medicine is crashing for me. FFFFFFF

I did both MKSAP and UWorld and honestly, thought MKSAP was a little overkill, UWorld was a bit more representative

Like in 3 months or so apparently,

Just took it today, finished with plenty of time on all sections, including having to run to the bathroom as an unscheduled break middle of the first section due to too much coffee

Wait, but BobLoblaw44 the number 3 poster put that he goes to UT Health San Antonio and matched at UVA...should he get one too? And thanks so much gutonc I'll take that gladly :)

Looks like quite a few posters haven't gotten a reply yet but I figured I'll jump in as well to this party. Interested in heme-onc fellowship so maybe @gutonc could give me a little input. Thanks so much in advance 1) Ohio State - seems like a great overall program, strong history of residents...

Hello, I am a M4 at a probably lesser well-known state school (AMG). Just found out I failed Step2 CS and still unsure how; biggest shock to me in my life (always thought I was good with patients, good good clinical evals, never had a problem with a school OSCE) and put me in a mini depression...

I am in the same situation here too. Just found out I failed CS and still unsure how; biggest shock to me in my life and put me in a mini depression for almost a week. Wondering where to go from here and how to approach the match differently now. Step1 was a 239 for me. Looking at IM programs at...

American medical student here who just found out, very shockingly that I failed Step2 CS. Step1 score is 239, Step2 CK score pending. Looking that I will submit my application to ERAS with a CS score of fail, what should I expect next? Gonna be difficult to obtain interviews? Looking to apply to...
