Stick to my current IDR or go with the SAVE plan?
Hi, I graduated from my fellowship last year and has been practicing as a hematologist oncologist for over a year now. I applied for the PSLF waiver when it was available and it looks like I got approved for the six years of my residency plus fellowship. The place I am working at right now also qualifies for PSLF. I am wondering if I should recertify my IDR now under the SAVE plan to save on interests.
The last time I recertified my IDR was november 2020. My IDR I believe is due in July of...

Is Salary during ACGME accredited fellowship secured?
I’m a second year fellow and the PD sent me an indirect message that my research activities has to be funded to pay 50% of my salary.
I didn’t hear about this requirement and I don’t remember that any program mentioned that I have to have a fund to cover my salary during the fellowship.
My wife is a heme/onc fellow as well and her PD said he didn’t hear about this before. Also, my co-fellow told me the PD never talked to him about fund.
Do you have any advice on how to manage this...

Learning how to improve planning/dosimetry
I now realize as an attending, I wish I was better with plan review. We had rockstar dosi so I took this sorely for granted, but now have someone new I work with, and the plans are not meeting where I thought would be possible. I realize I never developed the language/deeper understanding to effectively communicate how to get to a better plan and I want to learn. The new dosimetrist is very good and hard working but not familiar with dose painting, inhomogeniety on SBRT plans, has...

Are program rankings overrated?
Recently been lurking on the heme onc application spreadsheet and have noticed a lot of fighting over tiers of programs, like minutiae: "this program should be 2a vs 2b". There are legit people in that spreadsheet that are basing their self-esteem on this and it makes me wonder if I am missing something...
My understanding prior to all this is that prestige is a product of programs having support for research, which only matters if you want a research career. The other point is that even...

Patient dismissed from primary care clinic for making anti-trans statements

Billing - Benign Heme
Very new to attending life and trying to figure out how to bill new benign heme pts, which is currently the majority of my pts. Appreciate any help!
My issue is that I chart review the day before - I feel super uncomfortable doing it the day of, as I currently take forever looking over the chart, looking up guidelines, and also want time to reach out to others for help if I need it. I also pre-write my note the day before. But of course, this means on the day of, I have much less time to...

Flailing MD/PhD Thinking of Back-up Career
Hello, everyone -
I have a story as old as time (or at least as old as the NIH MSTP training pathway), and I just wanted help getting some perspective. Highlights:
- MD/PhD graduate late 2010s
- did a fast-track IM residency
- and now in a second year of a heme-onc fellowship, physician-scientist track
I didn't match at my dream place by any stretch for fellowship, but it had a critical mass of research and is a place with some great scientists. The program also tried to recruit me and...
