Non-ABPS boards
What are general thoughts on non-ABPS certifications?
American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery
American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery
American Boar of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Obviously the ABPS hates them. But if you're a general surgeon doing one of these and NOT planning on doing flaps or real reconstruction, just cosmetic surgeries, is there any problem with it? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Self-education/staying up-to-date in private practice
I'm 2 years into practice and I'm curious how other attendings in private practice go about continuing to learn techniques, stay up-to-date on new technology, and continue to read the latest journal articles/publications since we aren't in an academic environment? Attending the annual academy and other subspecialty meetings helps, but what do you do on a daily/weekly/monthly basis to keep yourselves current with the latest in the field? What about the business aspect of practice? My own...

Gamsat advice: How to best prepare (very long post)
In conclusion (feel like I'm wrapping up a GAMSAT essay here haha), don't give up. Just because you think you may not be good enough for this exam does not mean you aren't. Work hard and at the end of the day, the best you can do is try. Simply the fact that you're sitting the exam and putting yourself through the stress and pressure already shows that you have one of the traits of a worthy doctor. Good luck :) (Source: The Student Room)

Any peer-reviewed evidence for the quotation below, written by Dr. Cynthia Bailey BA Mills College (1976-80), MD Tulane (1980-85)? If so, what concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide suffices? 2.5%? 5%?
Several years ago, I attended an American Academy of Dermatology lecture given by a physician practicing in Israel where they use benzoyl peroxide for Demodex. Permethrin is not available there and this physician said she gets good control of facial Demodex infestation and rosacea...

Membership in Honorary/Professional Societies on ERAS
If you paid for membership of societies like the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) or the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and have attended their national conferences would you add them in the "Membership in Honorary/Professional Societies" section? Or should you be in a leadership position in these organizations if you list them in ERAS in this section? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Process for Applying as an Active Duty Officer
I am currently active duty (commissioned out of an academy this past may) and am trying to apply to medical school in the 22/23 cycle. I applied as a cadet but ultimately did not get accepted.
