Most residents have huge loan debt and it seems even worse when in residency and loans go into repayment. This thread is to ask questions about personal finance and how to budget and optimize paying off loans during residency. Thanks to the many medical professions who choose to answer questions in this thread!

I dont know why this needs to be said…. But alas… it does. Every. Single. Year. This sub gets 5-10 posts that say “i failed my drug test, how fucked am I???” You are (allegedly) smart and educated people. You are free to make your own choices. But if you fail your pre-residency drug test….. you are an absolute idiot. Please take this as a reminder to stop doing whatever it is that you do…. For just a few months…. Because you will be pissing into a cup sometime between now and July. And no, it doesnt matter that in your state xyz is legal. If that needs further explanation then god help you.

Some colleagues peep in from the doorway and evaluate for chest rise & then keep it moving. Others like to at least listen to chest & lungs. Others wake them up to have full conversation. Curious what the general philosophy on this as I’ve heard/seen different practices

Got a gig lined up at the VA and they are giving a lump sum recruitment bonus (not relocation or “sign-on” bonus). Wondering when I can expect to see this? Would be nice if before starting to help with relocation costs.

I see all these comments from ER attendings- “this show is EXACTLY like my job”. “I can’t watch it because it’s too similar to work.” Bullshit. I used to work in the one of the busiest ERs in the country before med school. It wasn’t anything close to this. PGY-2s weren’t doing crics. People weren’t coding left and right. There was more than 1 attending on staff at a level 1 trauma center. Also, they make anesthesiologists look like bumbling idiots. So fuck this show.

I don’t want to obsess over it. But i was in surgery for a patient with unknown HIV status and helped close up his wound. When i was suturing i was a bit distracted but no clear needle stick honestly. When i went home a day later i noticed a small kind of scab on my finger, i used nothing sharp besides these needles so it cant be anything else. I am worried that i contracted something even though there’s no clear incident. I didnt check the gloves and now thinking that i might have felt a prick whilst being distracted. God am I overthinking it. I checked pt’s labs and he is hep B negative but no HIV test ever done. Has anything similar ever happened, should i get checked or put it to rest. Im terrified

I'm a general surgery resident, and last week I saw a 22 year old patient in the hospital with an aggressive form of AML getting septic from neutropenic colitis. His right colon was essentially dead on imaging, but with his ongoing three-pressor septic shock and severe pancytopenia, there was no way he was going to survive an operation, let alone get through GA induction without coding. It was heart-wrenching to tell him that doing an operation would probably lead immediately to his death and that it was possibly better to spend the remaining time that he had with his family. He had been through so much already and it was the end of the road, but it was so obvious that he was just not ready to go. How could he be? He would have just started senior year of college. What's even worse is that when I met his mom a few hours later, she said her other son had just died 6 months earlier in another hospital also from complications related to the same type of AML. The patient was too sick to even leave the hospital to go see his brother before he passed away. I'm three years into surgery residency, and trust me, I've seen my fair share of deaths in the ICU and from traumas. But this one really broke me down. Wondering if anyone has also experienced something like this can can offer advice on how to process this.

I was in the hospital for a couple of days after surgery. The doctor who mainly checked up on me was one of the residents. I wrote a detailed thank you card about how appreciative I was, since I could tell that everytime they came to check up on me, they probably got yelled at the attending/hard a hard time with another patient prior to seeing me, but they were always putting up a front to not show it. Then, I realized that I should also write one for the attending. The problem i have is that I've had this attending for a couple of years now and this is the first time I'm writing a thank you card. Compared to the one I wrote for the resident's, the attending is basic like, "Thank you Dr. Whoever. -My name." Meanwhile, I wrote a whole paragraph about their work and how grateful I was to them. I felt like if they see and compare the cards, the attending would be jealous or give a hard time to the resident. The attending is also in the care of my other family members so I don't want to create any drama.

Due to the new administration, will it become problematic if I travel outside the US during residency? Will re entry be possible if I fly to my home country during vacation? NB: If on J1 or H1 B visa.

Hey everyone, My wife is a PGY1 Internal Medicine resident, and as many of you know, residency is brutal. I try to support her in every way possible, but right now, I feel completely helpless and need advice. She’s been on floors for the past three weeks and just entered her fourth. On Friday (3/22), she had a long call from 6 AM to 9 PM. When she got home, she completely broke down—physically and mentally exhausted. She wasn’t feeling well, had body aches, and by Saturday (her only day off), she spiked a fever. We managed it with Tylenol and hydration. Despite feeling awful, she still wanted to be considerate and called her attending to let them know she might not be able to make it in on Sunday but would try her best. She barely slept that night and woke up feeling even worse, so she officially informed her attending, a colleague, the Program Director, and the Coordinator that she wouldn’t be coming in due to illness. Instead of any concern for her well-being, the PD immediately demanded a doctor’s note as proof. He was rude, dismissive, and made her feel like she had committed a crime by taking a sick day. Since her program has no official sick leave policy, he forced her to go to urgent care just to get a note proving she had a fever. Then, he escalated things further—he sent an email instructing her to set up a meeting with HR, himself, and the GME director. This morning, she went to speak with him, note in hand, only for him to brush her off and tell her to come back tomorrow. Now, she’s left feeling broken—physically drained, mentally exhausted, and terrified of retaliation from the program just for getting sick. I’m furious. I don’t understand how people in medicine, of all fields, can lack basic human decency and empathy. At this point, I don’t know what options she has or what steps we can take to protect her. Any advice would be deeply appreciated. Has anyone dealt with something similar? What can she do in this situation? Thanks in advance.

As the title said. I give my hardest, try to work well, efficient, come early leave late, and i tend to believe that i do a decent job. But something is lacking. I dont get any residency spots offers in the field i am interested in. Always other interns get priority for spots. All my friends already found residency spots and i dont get any offers. Best i get is: -“you are the right person, at the right place, at the wrong time”. -All positions are full currently. -you did a great job this month, but we already found someone to fill the position. I am not US, neither the residency is in the US. But i think its the only sub where people might relates since not many subs are out there about failed attempts to find residency. Feels so bad for studying hard, passing USMLE steps, giving my best at uni, and even now at work i give my best, even at rotations im not interested in. How do you keep pushing forward when you don’t get anything back? How do you keep on going when nothing goes your way no matter how much effort you put in? Probably its just a rent and some might relate, some might not. I try to convince myself that it will build character, but lately I started to think maybe its just the way it is and I was not suited for this profession?

Hey all.. similar situation to a lot of folks. So hoping others who have been through it could give advice. And perhaps this thread will help others. I’m moving across the country for fellowship. I have 2 days to move after residency before fellowship begins. I’m buying a house closing remotely (I saw it in person once) . I’m handling all my moving banks, re-registering car etc etc remotely to the extent possible. Any tips or issues with this you all didn’t anticipate or things to pay attention to? Thanks.

My partner and I are both in residency. I'll be graduating from residency this June and taking 3 weeks off before I start my outpatient attending job. My partner still has one more year of residency left before he graduates. We had thought that we would be able to have one week off together during my time off before he starts his critical care rotation, but yesterday we found out that the one week off together we were planning was actually reserved for graduating residents in his program...and so we won't have any time off together once I'm graduated and thus won't even get to celebrate me being done. I just wanted to vent about how it's so frustrating to plan for time off together with your partner when you're in residency...let alone when both you AND your partner are in residency. I'll admit, I get serious FOMO whenever I see my co-residents take vacation with their non-medicine partners, and because their partners are working actually jobs and making a decent living they are able to travel places and have amazing life experiences...and meanwhile half of the time my partner and I don't get to have vacations together, or our vacations are stay-cations because we're too exhausted to go anywhere or too poor to afford anything. And I understand that stay-cations can be rewarding, and they are, it's great to be able to spend time at home and knock out the tasks that we've been neglecting or haven't had any time to tackle...but traveling is something we want to get into and it just feels like we keep having to put everything on hold because of work and because we can't afford it. And now to find out that we won't even be able to do anything special after I graduate residency and before I start my job because he's going to be working so much in the ICU? I know it's just the nature of being in residency but honestly I'm sick of it.

This is embarrassing to ask but I’m a PGY1 in EM and I struggle every time when I question if I should get a d dimer. Like someone comes in with chest pain and SOB, do they need one? Or only if they have chest pain, SOB, and leg swelling? Or is it more about vital signs…If they are tachy and hypoxic then yeah I’ll get one. But it’s those in between cases where I struggle. Trying to not order unnecessary tests and be stuck with a meaningless elevated d dimer

Hey guys I want to get better at reading abgs. I can differentiate between metabolic and respiratory acidosis and alkalosis. However I’m having trouble knowing if they are appropriately compensating or if it’s a mixed abg picture. Do you guys have any resources that you’d recommend to really improve on this weakness of mine? Any help is appreciated

Hey guys, I’m looking for some advice. Feeling super burnt out with fellowship at an academic institution (endocrinology). I went to an inpatient heavy residency program; outpatient was definitely lacking compared to other primary care residencies or family medicine residency. I’m just thinking down the lane. Is it okay to transition back to primary care after doing fellowship? Pros and cons please. Is it hard to transition from inpatient to outpatient PCP? I realized that endocrinology is way too complicated then what I realized. It’s been super stressful and I don’t think I’m understanding much.

I’m in a tough fellowship… but it’s not even the work I mind but the program itself. Nice to your face and then you go in for your eval and they rip you a new asshole. I know there’s always room to improve, but I felt like it was a group of them that grasped on to any little thing I did wrong and created this negative perception of me after not really providing much guidance in the first place. I know this is vague… but now I have this dark cloud of anxiety in my mind that they all think I’m an idiot. I honestly feel like they don’t even realize my current capabilities or potential… it’s all so intense, for instance they grade your grand rounds then send you a document also reiterating everything you did wrong. I get it. There’s a steep learning curve and new expectations that I just need to adapt to… I just can’t shake the overwhelming anxiety and feeling that I’m perceived as incompetent. Maybe I am… all I know is I’m starting to get depressed. Current plan is to prove their narrative wrong, keep my head down, try to learn, get through the 3 years. I just don’t think any of this is good for my mental well-being…. Quitting doesn’t seem like an option. Can anyone relate?

I asked this question on the medical school sub Seems a lot of people just don’t understand it from what I can tell. Lack of exposure. Some people insisting that their lives are all terrible and overworked. Also insisting they only make 230k on average. I know, I know that’s what I get for asking medical students their opinions on it. I’m curious tho, for those that bought into the stigma on FM in school, has your opinion changed in it? If you’re an attending what do you think of it now vs then?

I’m in my early 30s, male, and am a first year resident with debt. I recently began dating a girl a few years younger with a fairly high salary (200k a year). Wondering how most of you would go about paying for dates and doing the breakdown. Clarifying edit: She’s my girlfriend now. We’ve been together about four months. Do not live together.

Hi, everyone. I will be starting residency in July and I wanted to know how you guys take notes during rounds/admissions/lectures, etc. I would like to specifically know if you use any device for note taking or just pen and paper. I have been thinking about getting an iPad Mini (with Apple Pencil) due its size and weight. What electronic device and apps for note taking would you recommend me? Thank you very much in advance.

After spending 9+ hours constantly on my feet, running around, dealing with overbooked clinics, being screamed at and yelled at for not doing scutwork faster, being verbally abused at least five times a day-I can't come home and study, or cook, or do laundry. I barely have the energy to stay awake. Does anyone else relate?

Hello everyone! I want to understand how commonly the Derms residents get consults in USA about infectious diseases like tinea corporis, tinea pedis, leprosy, pityriasis versicolor, scabies and so on. Is it like one such consult a day or a month? I am a derm attending in a developing country (these cases are super common), and giving a talk on this topic in a university in USA. So I am wondering how familiar are residents with diagnosing and differential diagnosis of these conditions. Looking forward to hearing from you all !

I’m a pgy1 and one of the last ones in my class to not go solo on a shift yet ( with an attending of course). I’m definitely seeing less pph than my coresidents ( like 1pph), and I’m a little slow. Is it how fast you are that determines how quickly they let you go solo? When did y’all start going solo on shifts

All in the title. I am a resident in a sub surgical specialty. I dont care anymore. I dont care about patients. I dont care about didactics. It takes every single atom of energy in my body to just wake up in the mornings and show up to work. I cant even bring myself to emphatize with patients when they cry. I used to be energetic and happy and I used to workout every day. But 80 hours weeks and no end on sight has destroyed me. All I can feel is deep loliness and regret. I cant even leave medicine because of all the loans. I am trapped and it is all my fault. I feel so lost.

I always see people with great board scores entering the cardiology, gastroenterology, hematology and oncology, PCCM and CCM, I have never seen someone with low board scores post about entering those competitive subspecialties. Can anyone with low board scores share your scores and what subspecialty you entered and what you did to get into it ? Could be your anecdotal experience or that of a friend or relative

Hi all! Soon-to-be PGY-1 here. My partner and I are happy to have welcomed our first child into the family, and they'll be 4 months old tomorrow. We're moving across the country for residency, and we're going to need to figure out daycare. But so far it seems like a difficult find. My partner is a medium-high earner, which will hopefully help offset the cost when she starts working. But daycare is $2000-$2500 per month, and will be a 6-12 month wait until we can get in. We'll be about 3 hours from family, so having g'ma and g'pa babysit long-term is kinda out of the question. My new program says they have ways to help with daycare selection and "priority placement," but I'm still trying to figure out what that means. We also have some savings so if my partner takes time off work we would be able to make that work. It would be tight, though. Any advice on how to get into daycare, and handle the costs once in? I feel awful for telling my partner to put their career on hold until we can get in to a daycare center, but it doesn't seem like we have tons of better options.

Basically the title. I just cannot for the life of me, keep these things in my head. I struggle to remember them when I have a visit. I’m an FM resident and our service has few pediatric patients so not enough muscle memory.

Hey everyone my wife and I are going to be having our first child in June right before I start IM residency. Does anyone have any advice for how to navigate this? We are supper excited about everything but we are worried about how to manage the stress of moving, starting residency, and becoming parents. Would love to hear anyone else's story about this as well!

Just putting this out there to see how common it is. Does your OBGYN residency have interns do solo in house call? Just an intern + attending?

Asking about what is boiler-plate versus what is more likely to vary program-to-program and how it may have affected you. I'm in NYC if that changes anything. Also, this isn't negotiable right? Thank you.

Only half kidding. I’m tired of carrying a heavier patient load in clinic than many of my colleagues because patients don’t want to see them. They constantly re-establish care with me so then I’m also the one getting all the phone/portal messages too. I hate that in residency you are punished for being good with more work and no compensation. Meanwhile they’re getting on to me for being slow on my notes but I’m literally seeing double the amount of patients than someone in my same class!! Program doesn’t care. Sorry for rant. Hope someone else can feel my pain.

I recently applied for the chase sapphire preferred and was told I do not qualify due to my debt to income ratio ($400k student loans in forbearance, $85k/year salary). So basically just being a doctor with perfect credit history disqualifies you from getting a mid-upper tier credit card? This shit is so backwards.

I graduated last May and applied for IBR which is still in processing. Got a notice from Mohela that my student loans require payment beginning 4/1. It’s not the IDR amount but the traditional 30 year loan repayment plan so pretty much half my paycheck. The previous guideline was to not pay cause it’ll be in forbearance until the IDR is processed. However with everything going on I wonder if it’ll ever get processed. Is it still okay to not pay? Just don’t want my credit to get reamed from this. Plus I can’t afford to keep paying long term so will be forced to go to private.

Hi y'all. I'm about to start a fellowship and was supposed to apply for the limited Washington State license, which takes shorter time to process. Then I realized that I applied to the full license. Does anyone have recent experience can tell me how long it takes for the full WA license to process? I need a approved license for visa processing it's kind of time-sensitive.

I am currently a PGY 2 resident and planning to travel back home (Asia) to renew my J1 visa stamp this upcoming May. My J1 stamp expired last June 2024 but my DS2019 has been renewed and valid. Anyone with an expired J1 visa stamp that was able to renew recently? Am I gonna be questioned/ in trouble for not renewing the stamp before it expired last yr? Any issues with the consulate/processing? Just wanted to be cautious with travelling with all the new immigration concerns recently.

3/25/2025 I am sitting in clinic having a conversation with my patient. As I talk to him, my little helper is listening in to our conversation. It listens with indifference, filtering out the tangents in his history, and writes a clear and concise note. I listen with my stethoscope and come up with the assessment. He has liver cirrhosis with likely liver cancer. I speak to my patient and let him go. My note had been written and I am free to talk to the next patient on time. Later on in the day. I talk patients before doing their colonoscopes. A.I points out polyps in the screen for me before I take them out. I then sit down and talk to my little helper again, and ask it to sift through 1000s of articles for a presentation I am making. It obliges, taking a minute to do what would have taken me hours to days. I go home to enjoy my free time writing 3/25/2040 I am sitting with another patient. He is younger, and grew up with the use of artificial intelligence. Times are different now, and everybody has access the wealth of medical information of human history. Kids now have personalized A.I who are specially attuned to them. These A.I assistants are smarter than us. His told him there was a problem when he was losing weight rapidly despite the amount of calories he ingested, prompting a CT scan. He needs a tissue biopsy, so that A.I. can then run the algorithm as to how to specifically treat his hereditary gastric cancer based on the biopsy. I plan the procedure and we do it in the same day as healthcare is much more efficient. As I complete my procedure, my performance is logged in the database where an A.I judges if my complication rate is acceptable, and if I am still up to the task. All physicians are now logged. The slides are then read with non human precision. I go home, reflecting on the clinic I used to have, and how times have changed. I am now more an instrument of something that I think is greater than I am. I reflect on the fact that my predecessors had primitive endoscopes which had looking glasses like binoculars, and how much has changed today. 3/25/2070 I no longer have a clinic or do endoscopies. An algorithm decides when we are sick, and guides nanobots for diagnosis and therapy. These nanobots detect things early and repairs them. With the exponential increase in knowledge, disease is a thing of the past — we have mapped out millions of proteins and genetics responsible for disease, and we have found the cure for all maladies. We have conquered age, and humans die of accidents rather than illness. We have embedded chips, which guide us into a better society. We have more free time. Food scarcity has been solved. Wars are not fought. We question why we live and what we do it all for. We write, to remember who we are.

It’s easy to find struggling marriages on here and people divorcing during residency but does anyone have any encouragement or positive things that helped their marriages? I am married to a PGY3 surgical resident (he will be PGY8 when he’s done training). We have 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. Like many spouses on here I feel so weighed down by all the responsibility I have had to take on the last 3 years. Moving to a new city away from friends and family, raising 2 kids by myself, working, cooking, cleaning, home repairs, car repairs, financial responsibility. I feel like my marriage is dying and I keep being told it will get better, but I am afraid irreparable damage will be done by then. It’s hard feeling like I don’t have a partner, just another dependent, and like my needs or requests for help don’t get met. I have asked for sacrifices like him calling out to take care of sick kids so I can go to work and make money, but he usually says he can’t. I have asked for help with car and home repairs but they either don’t get done or take weeks to get done, ultimately falling back on me. I have asked for him to plan us date nights, which seems to happen after big fights and then not again. I have asked for him to make plans for us with other married couples in the program so I could maybe have some support network here, but that hasn’t happened yet either. What do people do to make their marriages better? And if the answer is marriage counseling how do people afford that and have time for it? I go days without seeing my husband I have no idea when he would even go to marriage counseling or how we would afford the counseling and the babysitter for it.

MCAS isn’t cool anymore. The cool kids now have central sensitivity syndrome. Symptoms? Vague. Labs and tests? Can’t test for it.

I live with my parents one hour away from the hospital and live rent free. Apartments in the area around 2k-3k and I’m wondering if I can toughen out the commute. For context I live in queens and commuting to Long Island

Hello everyone I’m thinking of switching my program at the Pgy2. I’m completing my first year in internal medicine. How is the transition from moving one program to another? Is it difficult or easy in terms of learning the system over at the second place? Has anyone done it and what has their experience been? Can you please share thank you.

I'm in contract negotiations for my first attending job. I've got two offers I'm seriously considering. I've had my lawyer working on them. I want the ability to moonlight out of town once in a while when I'm taking care of my ill family member like 500 miles away from here. Neither place is willing to remove the clauses in their contracts where it states they will be the only employer that can pay me for practicing medicine. I'm not even trying to encroach on their turf. I mean it seems borderline unconstitutional. Especially in the days of occurrence-based malpractice, like what skin is it off their backs? It's really fucking up my plans to take care of my family

This woman is a menace. Headache-inducer is her middle name. She's like an hysterical Miranda Priestly. 1) Everytime you intubate (when i was on week 1 of residency): The patient has 130bpm, I hope you are proud of yourself 2) No dear, this is not knowledge you have as an anesthesiologist, you're supposed to have it as an MD holder 3) Does your school have cardiology at all? 4) If you can't do it fast enough, don't do it all, I'm out at 15:00 and I won't have you delay anything 5) Untagle the urine collection bag so as to see it. Get beneath the surgery table and stay there until you can actually catch it. 6) My favorite: a nurse was asking what's a GCS to check on the the knowledge of the other nurses. She didn't know my name so she was calling me a doctor but I didn't understand she was refering to me. She asked "doctor do you know what's GCS"? And I saw the attending using her lips without making a sound "no he doesn't"

Has anyone ever heard of an FM resident being granted a full 12 months of credit towards the required 36 months of accredited IM training? I've been looking over the ABIM requirements and doing a bit of googling into this question... it really doesn't seem possible to grant 12 months of credit to any FM resident who is not *employed by* an institution with an IM program. My situation is a little tricky because I did my inpatient training during PGY-1 and PGY-2 at a hospital with an IM program, but I am *employed* by an FM program at a *separate hospital* (confusing I know). Is it possible that this requirement stating "rotations were identical to the rotations of the residents enrolled in the accredited internal medicine residency program" could be fulfilled or would that not be possible in this situation?

One year into my residency, I haven't seen my kids since they live with my parents back home. My husband is a citizen while I hold a green card. Although he doesn’t live here, he visits me frequently. Early this year I applied for a visa for my mom but she was declined I want to see my kids, so my husband and I had planned a trip together to UAE as my mum and kids also come over there for us to spend my upcoming 1-week vacation with everyone. But the thing is I'm worried with this new administration if it's safe for me to travel out of the States. Any advice on what to do?

Y’all I am a psych intern currently on nights, and I am the only one in the hospital overnight for psychiatry (consults, units, admissions, the whole enchilada). Is it normal other places to have a singular intern covering nights/weekends? Is it just a me problem that this feels not ok? Bc I am unwell. Signed, the intern currently crying at work Edit to add: yes, it turns out this is normal and I am a weak little b!tch🥲 we do have an attending on call as well, but whether they are actually accessible is another issue. Also adding clarification it’s a pretty big hospital and we’re responsible for the associated children’s hospital as well so that can be a little much at times

I can’t provide details because I know they lurk here. If anyone has been successful or has had experience with lawyers please PM me. Feels like a waste of money to me but I also feel like my program has made me one of the rats in the learned helplessness experiment.

I work in a pretty white-city and I've noticed a lot of the times, the POC attendings are a lot harder and are more critical of my work than the white attendings. I'm POC myself, so I wonder if there is any correlation? This happened in medical school too.

Hello everyone. One of the advice, regarding job search, I keep reading on this Sub is to contact the Hospital directly rather than going through the recruiter. My question is how should we go about contacting the hospital for job search to get maximum yield? Will appreciate if someone can spell it out for me. Should I email my CV with brief intro as the email body or call? Who should I email or call? Recruiter in HR or someone in Department itself? I am in Critical Care for context. Will appreciate the input. Thanks.

I was resigned (yes, you heard me right) late-PGY2 last year, right before transitioning to PGY3. I’ll spare details but my performance suffered due to god-mode difficulty life circumstances (divorce, new kid, recovering from spousal abuse) in the setting of just-barely managed ADHD. I was able to find a job locally which pays bills doing consultative examinations. I got my state license to do so, and though obviously I’m glad to not be homeless and I’m able to provide for myself and my amazing little kiddo, I’m facing a lower income ceiling without board certification. And being limited to local options because of coparenting, I cannot seek opportunities outside of 30 -60 mins of where I used to work, them being the major medical facility and part of the predominant health system locally, the same ones who resigned me (again, you heard me correctly). I’m struggling to break out of paycheck to paycheck living when 47% of my income goes out the door between taxes and child support. Thus, when my decent job is starting to look like “not what I wanna do the rest of my life” ; I’m seeking to see how I could feasibly increase my income or, ideally, get back into clinical work in a more meaningful way that maximizes the earning opportunity of my degree. Another issue is student debt being up in the air. I’m riding forbearance for a while, and owe double the average at $440k, not due for repayment until “????” whenever DOE hands over my loan to whoever Musk decides, and after the smoke settles I’m sure I’ll be paying more than I would on SAVE, whenever that is. Point is, jobs which offer substantial loan forgiveness (Indian health Services, Military, NHSC are all options I’ve looked at, most of which are very disappointing for the value of benefit over time). I’ve thought of re-entering residency when kiddo old enough to go to pre-k, as currently I can’t imagine doing 6-day workweeks (inpatient service months) with my weekends needing to be sacred for my time with my kiddo. Local options for my original speciality would be 1) where I got forced to resign from or 2) 1-1.5 hrs away in the big hospital part of the same network I got resigned from. It could happen if I reached out, which I haven’t yet. I’ve also thought about radical ideas like going rogue with private practice where I’d take cash pay, as I can’t imagine any insurance will take me without BC, and not withstanding malpractice coverage being an unknown, it could theoretically be feasible, if not extremely risky. I’ve thought about hunting for jobs which pay like attending but don’t require board certification, which are few, but include things like medical director of a nursing home. That would be available to me locally, as well. Leaving kiddo isn’t an option, so local or remote work is where it’s at. This turned into a long post. But if anyone has any ideas, especially those who may have insight on walking the “resigned from residency without board certification “ path I would be very interested in hearing from. I don’t wanna be stuck doing consultative exams at a net pay less than previous residency pay, and the spectre of debt repayment is looming, and I don’t know how I’m gonna make it, let alone thrive financially and provide for myself and kiddo.

I am extremely burnt out from training and I realize that clinical medicine may not be appropriate for me anymore especially after marriage. Is it possible to transition to nonclinical opportunities with relatively good salary. I’m literally looking for a return of work life balance, getting away from demanding entitled patients, etc. things are looking a lot different now. Looking for some advice .

OMFS Resident. I've wanted to do trauma surgery since dental school days. Craniofacial trauma is okay, but I want to do general too. After finishing residency, I'll need to sacrifice another 5 + 1/2 years to train in general and then trauma. Is there a way to "do" both afterwards? My final goal is to work abroad through the military or an organisation like MSF/Red Cross as a trauma surgeon, but I also don't completely want to give up the OMFS trauma side.

I've worked at 3 hospitals now where some of the nurses use nicknames for me. It's usually some form of adding a letter to the end of my name and cutting some letters out. My last name is Mason, and I frequently get "Macy." Sometimes "Maze." Yesterday I came into work and heard "Hi Macy!" My colleague found it hilarious but I was a little embarrassed.

Does anyone have any advice for getting a loan or line of credit or borrowing options if you are a Non-US resident moving for residency? I’m in a tight spot where even though I’m Canadian most Canadian banks don’t lend money for US relocation and since I’m not a US resident im not sure if I’m eligible for loans through Panacea or Doc2Doc. Any help would be appreciated!

Would you recommend? I've heard many people say they wish they had gotten it over with before starting residency, however no one I know has actually done it the summer before starting. Personally I want to get it over with, but everyone keeps telling me enjoy your time off before starting. Just looking for advice and recommendations!

For a patient with severe ARDS who wants larger volumes ~10cc/kg on pressure control (plateau <30) and becomes dysynchronous when given lower volumes, should you sedate and switch to PRVC with LTVV 6cc/kg TV or should you go according to what the patient seems to want on the pressure control vent?

As a dermatology consultant, I’m happy (most times) to see your patient and provide recommendations. I’m not happy when you Epic message me endlessly with questions that can easily be answered by a simple google search or better yet, on UpToDate. I’m talking about things like, “what are the side effects of xyz medication you recommended?”, “can xyz exacerbate a medical condition?”, and my absolute favorite, “what dosing and duration for valtrex for HSV?”. Ok bye.

Hi everyone, Radiology R2 here (but based on my recent yearly exam scores, I'm performing well below average). We have an internal OSCE coming up in about 6 weeks, offered through Raducate (not sure how it's formatted), and I want to take the time to review Case Review books + one text resource - would you recommend focusing on Core since I'm below average, or Crack the core for more trivia based questions (although there are less pictures etc). Thanks! Both have about the same amount of pages in total

Hi everyone, I’m a PGY-1 resident, and I’m currently facing a recent DUI charge. I haven’t been convicted yet, but my hospital’s policy requires me to report any charges to HR within 7 days of a conviction. I’m reaching out to see if anyone has had a similar experience or knows of someone who has. What was the outcome after reporting a drug-related misdemeanor to your residency program? I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself for whatever may come next, including the possibility of being dismissed from the program. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Feels like it's basically all I can do to get myself up in the morning and through the day. I've learned stuff passively on the job but feel like I'm below average compared to my co-residents because I lack the energy to meaningfully study when I get home. Even in terms of non-work related things, I feel like I spend my time off just on the couch scrolling on social media and doing errands. I haven't really made any new friends or explored the city I lived in. I haven't gone on any dates. I haven't read a new book or watched a new show/movie in so long. I feel like before residency, I always found time.to do these things as a premed and medical student. I felt like I had a life outside my education. Now I don't and it just feels depressing knowing this is going to be the case for the next few years.

Wanna add a second cherry on top? Because it's basically the Lothric straight sword of ultra greatswords. As in, it doesn't matter what build you're doing, the right infusion and stat distribution will always make it a viable option for the entire game. It's straight up the best ugs option for pure dex as a result as well as being the lightweight alternative to a Lothric greatsword if you're a faith build. What's up with this game giving you some ridiculously versatile and powerful weapons extremely early?
