Best way to incorporate flashcards?
I'm writing the MCAT in August. Using Kaplan books, Khan Academy videos, and rebopbebop flashcards. I have the books and videos planned using StudySchedule, but I'm wondering what the best way to use the cards is?
Right now, I find that I start a set for a chapter 24h after I read it. But how often should I be doing a set of cards/chapter, especially since sets will build up as I read more chapters? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

About to throw in the towel...what are some other options?
I'd like to start by saying, I apologize for my previous posts about which specialties are ideal, sub-specialties, etc.
The truth is, I don't think I'm cut out to apply for medical school, and am looking for other options:
1. My MCAT is in 3 weeks, and I'm still barely over a 500. I've completed almost all of the practice problems in my Kaplan online course, and done a ton of Khan Academy practice questions, and all. I completed the Chemistry and Physics AAMC practice questions, and barely...

Hi!! I just got my MCAT score back last week and am currently trying to make a list of schools that I should apply to when the next cycle begins in May.

AAEM Open Letter to AMA: Where is the Public Campaign Advocating for Physicians?
Dear Dr. Harris and AMA Board of Directors:
The American Academy of Emergency Medicine Resident and Student Association (AAEM/RSA), along with the AAEM, works tirelessly to advocate for the rights of emergency medicine physicians and physicians-in-training. As one of the largest emergency medicine resident organizations, RSA along with AAEM have major concerns regarding the recent advertising by nurse practitioners advocating for their independent practice.
