This is kind of old, but check out podcast #9 (the one called Brazilian Toxicology). https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/no-title/id469605323?mt=2

If you're asking whether you should go to medical school or pharm school just to avoid boredom, then no. Go do a postdoc in something that's different than your dissertation work. That will give you something new to do, not to mention that you'll get paid instead of taking out tons of loans.

Posted on behalf of a current resident. ------ OVERVIEW: Dual accreditation from AOA/ACGME at a community based academic center with 8 residencies and 5 fellowships. 50 bed ER with 2 resuscitation bays and 2 Trauma Bays. ~ 70,000 visits/year, Level II trauma. Peds ER and Trauma Rotation at...

Not sure what the issue is, because other people have sent me messages, including recently. But if you still can't send it to me, send it to Dr. McNinja like he said.

Posted anonymously on behalf of a resident at the program. ------------- Hey guys, I’m currently a 3rd year who will graduate July 2017. Sorry this is so lengthy, but it may impact the next 3 years of your life so it’s probably worth the read. Figured more would be better than less. Feel...

Thank you both. I have some updates to my own questions too based on my preparation to apply. Feel free to comment on anything I've said if you disagree or have more to add. The PD's I spoke to said that they typically start reviewing apps in July but would start accepting materials sooner...

Posted anonymously on behalf of a student who interviewed here. I loved this program after my interview day. Clinical exposure: Very high acuity, high trauma volume (decent amount of penetrating, North St. Louis very violent area) with EM residents very involved in all trauma activations, owns...

Hi, can any current fellows or tox faculty go over the timeline for applying for a tox fellowship now that there is a match? Specifically, it would be helpful to have info such as: when to submit apps, when interviews are typically held, etc. Here's the timeline I have so far based on this...

This was sent to me a couple of years ago (2014) by PM. Sorry for the two year delay, but I'm posting it since we don't seem to have any other UT Austin reviews.

Hi all, I haven't been on SDN in a while, but people have sent me some reviews to post anonymously, which I added. If anyone else wants to PM me a review, I am happy to post it for you.

I don't know if they did or not. I'm not privy to patient complaint data. Duly noted. Good advice, thank you. I'd rather not piss anyone off regardless of how long I've been here, but you're right that no one wants to hear griping from the new guy. Entirely possible. True. Regardless of...

Not to be dense or argumentative, because I really appreciate you taking the time to respond, but what exactly am I supposed to be letting SlowDoc "know"? That SlowDoc's shift doesn't end three hours early? That patients were in the rooms waiting to be seen all that time? That...

I recently had an especially bad shift that was compounded by my slowness on top of my colleague's slowness. Don't get me wrong, I will be the first to admit that I'm not the speediest doc in the group. But I showed up to eight people waiting to be seen, some of whom had been waiting for as...

Good point. It looks like I have the option to get short and/or long term disability insurance. The long term can start after 30 or 90 days and covers 60% like you said. Premium would be like $140/mo for the 30 day and $90/mo for the 90 day. So as long as I had $15,000 on hand, I should be...

I bought the 6th edition of the Rivers Board Review books last year to study for my in-service and was thinking I'd use them to prep for the real boards this fall too. But does anyone think it's worth updating to the new 7th edition that just came out this year? It apparently has several new...
