@DrAPMD So sorry to hear about this! Not okay. Please ask your PD or SA dean to advocate on your behalf with NBME. I have done that successfully in similar circumstances.
Lately, I've been doing mock Interviews for folks going through the latest round of medical hunger games. Here are some of the most common things I think you should be aware of. #Match2023#ERAS2023#residency#MedEd#medtwitter
Applying for residency and navigating the match is hard enough already… it is not acceptable per NRMP for interview scheduling to be a game of Musical Chairs 🪑🪑 🎶 🎵 !

When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, “Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.” So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:
How we handle mistakes is a window on our character.
Narcissism is being fast to slam others' errors but slow to admit yours.
Humility is being fast to learn from your errors and slow to judge others.
Wisdom is being fast to learn from others' errors to slow the rate of yours.

More than 1/2 of doctors believe cadaver dissections could be partly replaced & supplemented with #healthIT teaching tools. Go behind the scenes with the @KPMedSchool Anatomy Resource Center's Dr. José M. Barral to see how this #emergingtech works. https://t.co/c3BDALBwVj
