Is it just me or the NBMEs feel relatively easy compared to UWORLD? Maybe it's their way to give hard sets in learning mode so the real deal feels relatively easy.

For those of you who don’t know, once you are a board certified urologist you are required to have a continuous assessment of your skills which is all good and appropriate.

What I really want to highlight is that the American Board of Urology called this process the Continuing Urologic Certification (CUC) and I think that’s just a beautiful name.

I want to congratulate whoever came up with CUC. Well done

@jasonryanmd My trick was/still is to read the last line of the stem and then read the question. Helps me filter a lot of detail that's not pertinent.

[Ashish Singh, MD @ashust0]

@jasonryanmd Usually, I just dictate the question using their audio system. It's extremely spot on with Chat Gpt.

[Ashish Singh, MD @ashust0]

@jasonryanmd Yes, I frequently use it to make notes on specific topics from Uworld and have discussions where I feel that my answer was right, and then AI would explain if it is or not. Helps a lot and saves a lot of time with writing and doing research for me.

@jasonryanmd True, felt sad watching the fight after round 2. Though loads of respect to @jakepaul for not going for KO.

At Jacobi IM, interview choices are made! Just finalizing who will be on the waitlist. If you are curious, 23.3% of those who signaled gold got an interview. 11.5% of those who signaled silver got an interview. <0.1% of those who did not signal got an interview.

In some ways, I think we set learners up for disappointment in medicine through the board-type questions they see over and over again in medical school. The questions have single diagnoses and one best option for treatment. It can be a grim shock when the actual patients are so different from this.

[Jason Ryan @jasonryanmd]

When I was chief resident I had to find “interesting” cases for conferences. We wanted unusual diagnoses or tricky management decisions. Usually, 95% of the cases in house weren’t like this. They were mostly failure to thrive, needs placement, poorly controlled chronic issues, etc. Very little of the care had to do with diagnosis and management, most was social issues and age-related decline among the elderly. I had to cherry pick a tiny sliver of clinically-challenging cases for the residents, if I could even find any. Always struck me that there is such a divide between how we teach medicine and how it is in actual practice.

Lmao, we had a chief resident in med school who used to try super hard to be cool with all of us. All we did was deliberately not laugh at his joke so he would get annoyed and try harder😂. Wish I meet more doctors like him and you!

[Steve Gawrys, D.O. @GawrysSteve]

I love having med students because they laugh at my jokes

(they have to)

(I grade them)

[Ashish Singh, MD @ashust0]

@jzaraterod AMEN!😂

[Ashish Singh, MD @ashust0]

@jasonryanmd I don't think that you should be apologising, Doc. In all honesty, before we become doctors, we need to be empathetic human beings, and that requires us to care for our patients and worry about the endpoint they reach at the end of the day.
