    any calls yet for GI for 2010??

    it seems like this week has been going slow, no? Does anyone know when to expect the vast majority of the rest of programs notifying (or rejecting) us? I assume its by the end of february?

    Midwest Programs...NOT a "help me rank"

    Just to clarify: 1) I'm not sure what you mean by malignant, but my medicine attendings for the 5 months I was on service were awesome. 2) Only seniors on inpatient services go to morning report (I think) 3) We actually had a fair number of residents the day I interviewed at the dinner the...

    I know u guys arent surgeons but...

    Most of you will find this odd....I know I did, but most people's workforce data actually predicts that CT surgeons' demand will decrease for about the next 10 years, but will increase substantially after that. Why? I have no clue (and no I don't remember all the citations, but I've read a...

    Most prestigious specialty?

    I have to agree with one of the earlier posters......this thread is either really sad or really funny. Quality entertainment for a slow day in the ER. Every specialty talks crap about every other specialty. The only specialty no one questions in pathology.....because while...

    Is decent lifestyle possible any more?

    Anyone have any idea of how big of an impact the new legislation will make? I'm not looking to get rich or anything but i wasn't sure what to make of its signifance......recieving 1/3 of the medicare cut seems like a pretty big chunk as could having a images reimbursed at 50%. The $600k+...

    Rads Away Rotations?

    As I'm about to complete my m3 year, and have yet to complete my radiology rotation at my home institution, and I was wondering: Is there any utility to doing an away rotation in radiology? I understand that in medicine and surgical fields you can bust your butt and show you work hard, but no...

    University of Michigan Class of 2009

    Real quick before I go to bed: 1) I don't know what the surgeon was talking about.....and MD/PhD is the surgery chair......compared to most surgical departments, I would guess ours is more research intensive than others. I can't speak for MSTP's, but i have noticed that people generally go...

    The present of radiation oncology

    Feel free to point out how nieve I am, but I've repeatedly been instructed that surgical resection is preferred over radiation for localized disease. Except in a few areas where surgical resection is anatomically difficult, how do the two compared. Chemo vs radiation debate seems to like...

    University of Michigan Class of 2009

    I think its interesting how people say our match list doesn't compare and how Michigan is overhyped. From the m4 online polls (which if you hunt around you might be able to find), a large portion of the class (30%) usually says the hype is real. Trust me, I think every student at Michigan...

    University of Michigan Class of 2009

    1) Congrats on getting in. 2) You can do a search on my screen name to find my comments from last year. 3) I thought this year went really smooth except for the one week footcramp alluded to. We had our entire schedule for the year last spring (yes we didn't know the exact times we were done...
