WAMC and should I consider DO?
Hi guys. This is my first time posting here, and I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place. My inspiration to become a physician came from my aunt who is the best psychiatrist in the world and introduced me to this passion when I was young.
I am an immigrant from Brazil, and completed both undergrad (UMBC, BA in Biological Sciences; GPA 3.47 with significant increase in grades in junior and senior year) and grad school (Columbia University, MS in Human Nutrition; GPA 3.9) in the US. I...

NonUS IMG with a failed semester
Hello, i'm a medical student in Brazil now going to my final year. I've decided to study for the USMLE, but what is holding me back is that i failed a preclinical course and had to retake it for a semester. My first half of medical school was particularly tough for me because i had to spend 3 hours a day in a bus to get to the University and go back home.
After that failure i managed to move to a place nearby, changed my way to study and i'm having a good performance since then. Will that...

Random? Definitely, but if you spend hours scrolling any social media feed - why not invest some time helping a colleague and even (maybe) have fun or learn something new…If you...
