Pre-med Advising **might** = Stats Gatekeeping
Just putting some advice out into the pre-med stratosphere, to be taken with a LARGE grain of salt (I'm still salty about it personally).
Some undergrad schools will tout their pre-med program strength by advertising that "X % of students get accepted after advising". For me, as a relatively uninformed high school student, those high percentages were impressive. Look at all those kids who got in! They could help me get in too with their great advising!
In reality, I went to one of those...

What do you see when you look at this GasWork listing?
Listing in question ... GasWork.com - Reference #12
I heard the saying if the job is really good they probably wouldn't need to advertise. But, Tucson is a little out of the way (as compared to say Denver or Portland or even Phoenix), and I have close ties to Tucson and I have some interest in going back. I may be a little biased, so I was hoping you guys could read in between the lines for me. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

The Story of the Sacklers and their Drug Fortunes
The Sackler family has a long history of unethical or predatory behavior that broke many ethical barriers. In the 1940s, they made their major mark, not in the pursuit of medical advances, but in advertising of pharmaceuticals owned by other companies employing deception, advertising directly to physicians, and ultimately creating the morass within the pharmaceutical industry that prompted Congressional action. They advertised a new antibiotic placing business cards for non-existent...

Is this odd? Advertising for a peds anesthesiologist to start a Cranial Vault program?
Anybody have any insight about this job posting?
I can't post the link, but the gaswork ad is 221661.
"Looking for a Pediatric trained anesthesiologist who would also perform adult anesthetics. No cardiac; pediatric or adult"
My hubby wants to move closer to a ski town. I have completed a peds anesthesia fellowship, so Salt Lake seems a natural choice. They have a highly-regarded dedicated pediatric hospital in town, so that, of course, seems the place to start. But the pay is...

Please note that advertising products for sale/resale as well as posts looking to purchase products are not the intent of this forum. There are forums specifically intended for classified ads (For sale/wanted) which serve this purpose. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Practicing pathologists: How did you get your current or former job(s)?
There was a pretty good thread earlier about people sharing their workload and ranges of incomes. Since the job market has always been one of the most discussed topics on here, I thought an informal survey of how people came across their current job(s) would be informative to future graduates and/or colleagues. Feel free to cast your vote or chime in how you found your job.
I'll start: First job: advertised (online). Second job: Word of mouth (conference). (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How do you find a job in primary care?
For those of you who have found jobs in primary care this year or in previous years, how do you recommend doing that? Are there particular websites or advertisements in publications where you have seen postings? Just wondering what you all recommend.
Thank you! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Woof.

What is the distinction between MD and DO?
This isn't intended to tear down the DO profession.
Going into medical school, I thought the difference between MD and DO was the musculoskeletal and manipulation aspects, ya know, OMM.
However, the "Doctors that DO" campaign is a bit confusing (to say the least) because on the website and magazine advertisements, these types of statements are made:
"Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine are complete physicians who practice in every medical specialty. DOs are trained to first consider the...

During out recent site visit, we received permission to start the "advertisement" process and are planning to interview during this upcoming match cycle. Our program will be based out of Rhode Island Hospital, a busy level 1 trauma center. Case complexity and diversity are a highlight of our...
