Hi, I also have similar regret as you do... Regretting ranking a program I thought would be the best fit for me (and thought I liked the residents more) over Spaulding. At the time, I thought I made the right choice, but since starting PGY2 I realized I may have made a mistake. But I think...

After going on interviews for my advanced programs and prelim/tys, I was pretty tired, and although i did research on the programs, in hindsight I could have done more. Just wanted to emphasize to those applying this year that where you do prelim/tys actually matter and can have a huge impact on...

Its already september, I still feel the same way about this program. Please do your research on all prelim/ty programs you are applying to - it can be one miserable miserable year, and I don't want anyone else suffering as much as I am suffering right now. People telling you, "you need to go to...

For those who are interviewing for prelim/TY programs, make sure you do full research on all programs you are interviewing at and reach out to residents from that program to ask workload, schedule, EMR and other details that you think would impact your happiness while at work. I'm a prelim who...

I also considered taking step 3 early in intern year, and start studying before residency when I have free time. But tbh, with the coronavirus outbreak, I don't think prometric centers are going to open any time soon. And I may have to wait until later part of my intern year to take the exam...

Thanks for the tip everyone!

I know everyone is scared/feel unprepared for residency and say they forgot a lot of material from step 1 and 2. But I kid you not, I think I forgot literally the most basic things I have learned from step 1, 2 and MS3 year. I'm thinking of studying medicine covering most basic CC and Dx/workup...

What is the job prospective like for general physiatrist? I see myself doing a mix of inpatient and outpatient work....

Med student interested in going into PM&R How is Job market for PM&R? for inpatient vs outpatient? I was talking to an attending who told me that inpatient PM&R is now dying out, it's not a "good gig" and that trend is outpatient MSK now. But isn't outpatient MSK mostly seen by ortho or family...

Hi, I'm pretty weak on biostats, and I'm looking for a good video to learn the subject for step 2 ck. I read on few posts here that kaplan videos by Dr. Steven Daugherty from 2010 is good, but I'm not sure how to find this. Are people just downloading this online? Is there a way to purchase...

Thanks so much for your post! I also have some specific questions about applying to PM&R, would it be ok if I PM you? thanks alot :)

Hi everyone, I'm MS 3 considering PM&R looking for aways to do for my 4th year. I would say I'm slightly below average applicant from MD program. Ideally, I would like to do away at a place where I would actually have a chance of matching. I've heard some programs tend to offer interviews/look...

Anyone currently MS3 applying for aways? I'm so confused in term of timeline of applying for them. I'm trying to do aways around mid August/September. but it seems like most programs listed on VSAS are much earlier (around June). Also I couldn't find many programs that I expected to find on...

I used Zanki + Boards and beyond. No I did not mature Zanki, I did majority of it though I would say 70-80%. Obviously, I also used FA and pathoma and Uworld like everyone else. Just my experience though, I'm sure a lot of people did super well by using Zanki. Anki is the best tool to remember...
