I was wondering how many places have offered prelim medicine interviews in Southern California. So far I have only heard from a few and am wondering if I am just not getting offers or if programs are slow to make offers...

i got all worried after reading this thread about the black and navy combo. from what i read on the internet, the consensus was that black shoes with a navy suit are fine. apparently it used to be a big fasion no no, but that is not the case anymore.

Has anyone out there tried to couples match into derm? I am very interested in dermatology and am planning to couples match with someone who wants to do anesthesia. We are both well qualified for our fields, although not absolute superstars or anything. (Me: excellent Step I, honored more...

I have no idea what that means... but in French the pronunciation would be roo (like kangaroo) zon (the x carries over to make a z sound, the "on" part is kind of nasal and doesn't really have an english equivalent) ee (like in pee)

i dunno, 2bornot2b... 3rd year sucks so far in my opinion. i have never been clinically depressed, but i have similar feelings of performance anxiety and inadequacy. at least every other day, if not every day, i think about dropping out and feel like crying. it is the first time in my life i...

am i the only person who liked kaplan path?? i thought it was an excellent supplement to brs, giving a lot more of the clinical picture than brs. i thought kaplan physio was too much. i wasted way too many days on that thing and still didn't come away with any more knowledge than if i had...

i walked out thinking it didn't go to well and that i might have failed, but the more i thought about it over the next few weeks the more i thought i did ok. it is easy to focus on the questions you didn't know or the questions you couldn't figure out the answer to until after the exam, but...

The Robbins I have is called "Basic Pathology". I agree that the big Robbins is great, but I can't imagine having time to read the whole thing and trying to retain it. Basic Pathology is much more manageable if you actually plan to read most of it. Big Robbins would be a more complete...

the smaller robbins was more than sufficient for our path class, the path shelf, and step 1. hmm... i did not know there was a baby and a medium robbins. i assume i used medium robbins if this is the case b/c there was quite a lot of good info in there and it was a fairly thorough book. big...

maybe you are already doing this, but what helped me was going to the library for 4-6 hrs at a time and really focusing on the material without any distractions. i often would take my own notes on things (in brief bullet-point format) while i was reading books or core notes and then drill those...

i feel the same way about 2nd year --- SO much better than 1st even though I did spend a lot more time in the library. i also agree that there is no need to study for step 1 until a month or so before the test. you will be rewarded on step 1 if you really learn path, pharm, pathophys and...

i took mine june 9th, they were sent on wednesday, and i got them in the mail today :).
