@SaltyEMNY As an M3 I had a dedicated pocket in my short coat of pens I didn't like... those were "attending pens"

@A_Sapp12 I took step 2 in between audition #1 and audition #2! It was scary but worth it and ended up being very happy with my score - I think being out of dedicated was helpful

To the Vanderbilt EM residents, the peds residents, the surgery residents, all other medical staff, we are with you today.

Nobody should have to treat peds GSW. This should not be a thing that happens.

We mourn the lives of the children and families affected by yet another school shooting today in Nashville. Gun violence is a threat to children everywhere. As pediatricians, we will continue to advocate for policies to keep kids safe and to #EndGunViolence.

@MaddieMierMD The shampoo with the cars 😂 also has a major class action for apparently burning your hair off

This is something I wish I realized when choosing a DO school. Obtaining quality and invested outside mentorship was the single best thing I believe I did for my match. Until you’re in it you have no idea how common SOAP/unmatched is.

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

With Match Day over, we can now enjoy self-congratulatory press releases from medical schools claiming 100% “match rates” for their students.

For instance, *every single DO school except one* claims to have a match rate of 98-100% - even though the national average is ~91%.
