What's my chance? And can I use the old LORs?
To all,
I am an US-DO graduate.
I graduated from a community residency program 5 years ago, no research just 3 cardio poster presentations at regional conferences.
Back then I planned to apply to cardio so I obtained several "strong, personal" LORs from atrending included from 2 cardiologists who I rotated with. However, with unexpexted family issues, the plan postponed, didn't apply, went straight to work as hospitalist.
Then, I got accepted to CCM fellowship in a year ago, currently a...

Too many tumor conferences!
At my current hospital (non-academic) we are now up to 8 tumor conferences, 10 total if you count placenta and M&M! What’s next…toenail conference? At some of these, they’re presenting 10+ patients. Granted, some are bi-weekly or monthly; and, it’s divided between my colleagues, but it’s been ramping up in frequency and subspecialty over the years. I think money is a factor i.e. being an accredited breast, thoracic, etc. center = grants/state funding. Whatever happened to the days when there...

Listing Accepted( but withdrawn) Conference Abstract on ERAS
Hi all:
Hope you're doing well. I have a rather unique circumstance. An oncology project I've been working on( not first-author) was accepted by a major conference for "online publication only". However, the first author( not me) decided to withdraw the "accepted" abstract to provisionally re-submit it to another major conference later in the year in hopes of being able to present her work. Would there be a way to list the "accepted" abstract on ERAS without misrepresenting the situation? I...

The F U fund is often mentioned in this forum. Naomi Osaka has both F U money and F U talent. She wants to play tennis, not trot out for their stupid and extraneous dog and pony show. Well played young lady.

not listed as author on published conference abstract, but was second-author on poster presentation?
I worked unpaid on a project for a researcher that came back from maternity leave. I was asked to pick up the work and in return, she would give me authorship. I never heard back, but the abstract was submitted without my name and accepted for a conference. She then presented the poster at the conference with my name as second-author.
The abstracts of posters at this conference were published digitally. My name is nowhere to be found there. If you were to search up this abstract, you would...

USMD - Matching fellowship from community IM program
Hi, I am an incoming PGY-1 at a community program who has aspirations of matching a procedural specialty.

Also have an independent project that got accepted for a national conference presentation, how can I get travel...
