i got transitional year at tripler. my first choice was pre-select spot for PM&R (didn't get it :thumbdown ). i have classmates who matched derm at BAMC, radiology at BAMC, FP at Womack.

what circumstances would prompt a probation? does it mean that the program is in complete disarray? or was it something easily rectified, like if residents did not perform at least 200 EMG, or someone reported violation of the 80 hour work week, etc.??

What does it mean if a PM&R program is on probation? I don't want to mention a specific program, but the residency coordinatior said it was required by law to inform me before i schedule for an interview. thanks. ~pyoj

here's another question... will/did you rank your top five based on reputation (US News top 25) or career interests (eg. TBI vs. SCI vs. OutPt)? For example, suppose you are interested in OutPt based PM&R but you rank Mt. Sinai (#17), which is overwhelmingly InPt, higher than a program like...

thanks for the input on sinai and numc. of course i would like a good balance of TBI and SCI and having a strong inpt base will allow you to build your clientel (sp?) when/if you decide to go private practive. but my interests are more outpt based. i may even consider EMG or Interventional...

i have several interviews lined up but i'm trying to figure out how to differentiate one program to another. i'm mainly interested in a program that would provide strong outpatient/musculoskeletal/EMG's/pain management/ alternative therapies. i was just curious to see how people ranked (or...

I was doing PM&R at Walter Reed last month. The Mologne House is currently housing all the OIF (operation iraqi freedom) and OEF (operation enduring freedom) soldiers. it is full to capacity. you will have to get a letter of non availability and live off post if you do a rotation at WRAMC any...

i'm a 3rd year so i haven't been on campus or know about all the recent events regarding the administration. what i do know is that the clinical rotations office has been restructured and is becoming more strict about where and how we set up our clinical rotations. (more paperwork and they...

hey all, just wanted to congradulate you on getting into medical school and welcome to COMP. I'm a third year and i finished rotating through the Arrowhead block. I just wanted to throw down a few tidbits of advice. Make sure you focus on your academics, your friends, your classmates, your...

so now that third year is half way done, i'm struggling a bit trying to figure out a specialty to match. I was just curious if everyone else is in the same boat. Or, are you MSIII's gung-ho and know fo-sho what you want to be doing for the rest of your life. here are my commentaries (board...
