Update - they just completed my application today.

Hello all. Is anyone else having particularly massive delays in their Texas Medical License application? They've had my application complete and sent for review since 4/25, but no updates since then. Ive reached out to the Texas Medical board a few times via messages and phone calls, but they...

Let's stop this nonsense. Please sign the below petition to eliminate the ABPM&R part 2. https://chng.it/8DJfJH7KmB

ABPM&R released the 2022 part 2 data. The fail rate was ~16%! It looks like the failure rate has been consistently over 15% every year since they changed the format in 2020. I understand it was like 4-5% prior to the changes. Part 1 failure has stayed consistent around 4-5%. It seems suspicious...

Thanks for the heads up. I already contacted the recruiter about this one. They don't want new grads.

I'm a Pain Fellow looking for positions in/near the Dallas-Ft Worth Metroplex. Please PM me with any opportunities. Thanks!

Does anyone have any data on the typical salary for ACGME trained PM&R Pain docs in academics? I can only find data for anesthesia pain in academics, but I'm assuming that does not include PM&R pain.... Or does it?

I can second this. Saw this guy on a webinar about contract negotiation (lolz). Was trying to tell the fellows not to expect anything more than $250k starting. Seemed kinda sleazy overall.

Thank you all for your insight! It's all very helpful. Regarding emerging pain procedures - A number of established and emerging pain interventions sort of blur the line between "pain management" and "spine surgery". I'm thinking SCS/pump implants, MILD, kyphos, vertiflex, SI fusion, etc. I'm...

If location is important for you, definitely apply to University Hospitals and Metro health (case western) as well. CCF has just 2 spots, but overall Cleveland has something like 12 PM&R spots. All good programs. I'm most familiar with Cleveland clinic's. PM me.

Are there any Pain-trained PM&R docs out there with experience working with private Ortho groups who want EMGs? I'm talking to one such group, and I was hoping to get some experienced input on whether this is generally a good idea, what that setting is like, what questions should I be asking...

I'd say by end of January is super early. Hardly any programs start looking at apps and offering interviews before then. The one notable exception from what I recall is UCLA Cedar Sinai, if I'm not mistaken. I agree that mid-February is probably fine. That being said, you should start on your...

U of Alabama U of Colorado U of Minnesota U of Utah U of Vermont U of Washington 85.3% match rate

Speaking for myself... I was denied an interview at all those programs that didnt fill. So I doubt it was lack of interest. I wonder if they just interviewed fewer people or got cocky with their rank lists? Or maybe they just chose to have fewer fellows this year bc of low volume..? This...

According to the report from NRMP, 10 programs (9.8%) didnt fill their spots, including stanford (2 unfilled), USC (2 unfilled), UC Davis (1 unfilled), UCLA-VA (1 unfilled). Wtf is going on in california? Does anyone have any insight as to why they failed to fill their spots?
