ACP is encouraged by parts of the Trump administration's plan for health care to lower the cost of prescription drugs & increase price transparency but we also caution that increased funding for HSAs is not a substitute for the enhanced ACA premium tax credits for ACA plans: https://t.co/p9qk3gYHL6

I want to share some important concerns I have noticed about the expensive Residency Application Preparation Services being marketed to IMGs. Please stay alert for the following red flags:
1) ๐๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฅ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:
Official hospital rotations are only granted through a hospitalโs GME office or Volunteer Department, and these are advertised on the hospitalโs official website. If an agency is charging you money for a โhospital rotation,โ it is almost certainly unofficial. In most cases they simply have a deal with an attending who keeps you in a clinic and takes you to the hospital only occasionally. Avoid these.
2) ๐๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:
If an agency is charging a heavy fee for a basic clinic rotation, walk away. It is not worth it. These clinics often give the same generic letter to hundreds of applicants, which makes the LOR practically useless.
3) ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:
If you join a research project, be very clear about your role and your authorship order from day one. Many people will let you do most of the work but push you down to third or fourth author when the paper is finalized.
4) ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฉ:
Please do not pay agencies thousands of dollars for PS or CV editing. Create your own content and refine it using Grammarly and AI writing tools. That is exactly what many agencies do behind the scenes anyway.
5) ๐ ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐:
Before paying for a mock IV, ask who will actually be interviewing you. Some places charge very high fees, only for you to end up practicing with someone who has never been part of a residency programโs leadership. That offers no real value.
6) ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:
Paying for a โprogram listโ is one of the biggest mistakes. Many agencies simply generate a list of 200 programs without considering your credentials, visa needs, or competitiveness, and they often include programs you are not even eligible for.
7) ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐บ๐:
Any agency that promises you a guaranteed match should be avoided completely. No one can offer that guarantee.
Best of luck to everyone navigating the process. Stay smart and protect your hard earned money.

This is what they have been hiding from the world. Pls repost it sir, display it on the news. Jihadists like these enter Catholic churches and rain bullets on everyone. There are many more videos online but they are trying to take them down. Pls repost and retweet. Spread the word.

@DGlaucomflecken In a large study,ย prenatal Tylenol exposure wasย not associated with ASD, ADHD or ID.
It's still reasonable to recommend the use of Tylenol during pregnancyย when clinically indicated, at theย lowest effective dose & for theย shortest reasonable duration.

USMLE Hematology Tip: Factor VII has the shortest half-life of the major clotting factors (~4โ6 hours). Itโs the first to drop when warfarin is started. Thatโs why we monitor with PT/INRโonly PT captures Factor VII, not PTT. Warfarin โ Factor VII falls first โ PT/INR goes up.
For diabetic nephropathy we will see a LOT about combining an ACE/ARB with SGLT2 inhibitor AND FINERENONE
Finerenone is a non-steroid, MRA inhibitor
