DO students shouldn’t have to take two licensing examinations to be fairly considered by residency programs.

So in this month’s @JournalofGME, the NBOME published concordance tables of COMLEX-USA and USMLE scores, which may help PDs when evaluating DO applicants.

Did you know that a person with an average IQ today would have scored at near-genius levels if they’d taken an IQ test 100 years ago? Or that the average USMLE Step 2 CK test taker today would’ve scored ~99th percentile in 1994?

What’s going on?

Fun fact: Elective surgeries keep departments like psychiatry and emergency medicine running financially.

Pretty sure you don’t want to see what happens right now without either…..

Our vaccines are holding up against Delta, but a future variant could emerge that's even more deadly or resistant to vaccine protection. It's up to us to reduce that risk by reducing spread.

When my mom calls me to say good luck for exams, my dad says “notice I didn’t say anything” 😅 but like Dad, I really do need the luck

[Sruti @srutlooops]

@mowwyjane I feel the sameee

[Sruti @srutlooops]

I can't believe there are still residencies that outright say that applicants from DO schools will not be considered 😒

My dad is not a doctor, but he is the smartest man I’ve ever known.

My wife sent him the link to my Medscape profile:

My dad has Parkinson's Disease, so my mom takes care of him. She bathes him, feeds him, opens his toes when they're cramping. She's his hands on the computer when he has crazy ideas and when he takes his continuation board exams. Does love like that exist in our generation?

My grandpa always tells me stories beginning with “When I came to this country…” today it’s about McDonald’s apple pie and not knowing what food was vegetarian

Favorite thing about coming home to California: toilet seat covers in public restrooms

@thejenevieve @DrCSWilliam I second this!!! I grew up there. Lots of diversity, great scenery, always around 70 degrees. The beaches are beautiful but the water is too cold for me except in the summer. Also, Santa Maria seems to have more restaurants and stores every time I go home.
