How to list abstract on ERAS
I have an abstract that was accepted to a conference (ORS/orthopaedic research society). We also had a podium presentation at the conference. Confused on how I would list this on ERAS.
Would this go under "peer reviewed journal articles/abstracts" or "poster presentation"? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Acro 2023
This was my first time attending ACRO in Orlando, Florida and was pleasantly surprised how close knit the conference was. Met a lot of colleagues and peers and made a lot more friends in this single conference compared to the last 4-5 ASTROs i attended. I would strongly recommend residents to attend it for networking and job prospects. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How to network at specialty conferences?
Attending an in-person conference this Spring, I want to make the most of my experience. I am taking a research year and applying next cycle, so I am looking to connect with residents, attendings, and PDs of residencies I'm interested in, and to get my name out there. I'm relatively comfortable in social situations, so that's not an issue, but I'm not sure what I can do beyond introducing myself and saying hi. What is the usual etiquette for networking at conferences? Do people typically...

Internship experience for Neuropsychology Board Certification
I am currently going through the round II internship process. My long term goal is to seek board certification in neuro and unfortunately there are very few internships that can guarantee 50% neuro activities. If I were only able to do 40% or less neuro would this be a problem for later certification? While I know the Houston conference says the training is not required during internship, it kind of feels like it's an unwritten rule that it is expected. Would it be better for my long term...

Should I quit my full-time research job?
Hi All,
