Can I include a poster I did not present but won an award under awards on my application?
I was a third author and was heavily involved in this project but did not present at this conference. I plan on including this under posters, but I am unsure if I can for awards since I didn't present. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Attending subspecialty conferences during intern year?
I matched into psychiatry for the incoming 2024 cohort starting in July. I have long wanted to pursue forensic psychiatry even during undergrad, and I can see that while fellowships in general are not competitive, the more "prestigious" programs are getting more selective over time.
My program is not a big academic center and not terribly well known. It isn't exactly rural or community, but its also not in a major urban area and there won't be many resources for me to get a lot of forensic...

Possible to match pulm crit?
US MD from university residency program, with average board scores and low research (4-5 case report presentations at national conferences, published in conference proceedings).
I decided on PCCM very late, and therefore will be doing a point of care ultrasound fellowship next year. I plan to get involved in POCUS research and apply immediately after completion of ultrasound fellowship while working as a hospitalist for that year.
I am open to direct critical care fellowship as well and...

Connections
I am an MS1 trying to understand exactly how connections help in the matching process.
For example: I worked in software engineering in my gap year. In that field, you leverage connections by getting a referral from someone in the company/team you want to work in.
What’s the analogue in medicine?
As a specific example: When attending conferences, is it professionally useful to meet random attendings, or only APDs/PDs? Is it only useful to meet attendings who have close relationships with...

Step 2 247. Time to drop ophtho?
Really disappointed in my step 2 of 247. Was routinely hitting 250s prior to my exam and 80% correct on the Free 120s which some of my friends also got and received 255-265s.
Class quartile is 3rd with honors in about half my core rotations.
Research is 1 poster in ARVO and a submitted paper to a lower impact journal. I have several research papers in non-ophtho related journals as well as about 5 regional conference posters.
I'm currently applying to away rotations but is it even worth...

Just received my Step 2 score (247) and very disappointed. Should I still apply ophtho?
Ive been interested in ophtho since entering med school.
I just received a 247 on Step 2 which was below what I was averaging prior to my test with my last practice test being 255.
I also honored 3 rotations and near honors the rest but this still landed me in the 3rd quartile of my class (right at the cusp of 2nd quartile).
Research wise I have one poster in ARVO and one 1st author paper pending (lower impact journal) as well as a couple smaller regional conference posters. I also have 3...

Take Medicine Back
If any of you guys are interested there is a small grassroots movement that’s been around for a couple of years made of physicians and some lawyers helping us who’s mission is to try and take Medicine back from PE and other corporate entitities. There is a FaceBook Group as well as a Website. It discusses the Corporation practice of Medicine and how it’s illegal in many states but of course ignored in the interest of money. I did a virtual conference w them two weekends ago and it was...
