Job as General surgeon in critical access hospital
I am entering my fifth year of general surgery residency and have started looking for jobs for next year. I have always planned to end up in either a rural area or smaller city. A lot of the more heavily advertised jobs in these areas are for small critical access hospitals in rural areas. They typically have more frequent call and relatively high compensation.

Kyphoplasty during fellowship
If one were to do a pain fellowship at an ACGME accredited program in a big city (NYC or LA for example), would kyphoplasty be part of the training? Its hard to tell as it seems like a significant portion of pain physicians do not perform them or at least do not advertise whether they perform them. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Where would you go to earn the most?
If location, family and other factors were not an issue where would you move to in the US for the highest salary for 2-3 years? I am trying to pin down a location, so far Alaska seems to be the highest salaries I've seen advertised. Do $700k + jobs exist out there? I am contemplating doing this for a few years to jump start savings and then take a more chill job when I start a family. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Waiving LORs for off-cycle (non-ERAS/NRMP) applications
Seeking recommendations re: submitting "waived/unseen" LORs for off-cycle positions through non-traditional avenues (e.g. not ERAS/NRMP).
Advertising vacancies do not note this requirement + ResidentSwap et al do not offer concrete suggestions/means for this...
Would love to hear your success stories + creative solutions that go beyond LOR writers/references directly emailing PDs or downloading my (old/inapplicable) medical school ERAS application.
Preferable to waive/encrypt in some way, I...

Jefferson (SKMC) vs. Wake Forest
Hi all, I was accepted to several schools but have since narrowed down my choices to two: Jefferson (SKMC) and Wake Forest. Very different schools for sure, and I’m wondering if anyone has thoughts about either beyond what is typically advertised in interviews/on websites/etc. Open to opinions, thoughts, experiences…whatever you think might be helpful. Been a lurker on the boards this cycle but thought I’d hop in here with this post
A bit about me: I’ll be entering med school with...

Can I call myself a specialist legally
Hi,
I am a second year family medicine resident and I plan on going into adolescent medicine once finished with residency. However, I do not intend to pursue a fellowship in this specialty and instead, I am focusing on this age group during residency and doing electives and core rotations in relevant areas whenever possible.
Will there be any issue advertising myself as an “adolescent medicine specialist”? I would like to call myself “board certified in family medicine and specializing in...
