Feeling unsupported in program
Hi all, I don’t want to get into details too much because I don’t want to reveal the program I am in, but briefly, I am a doctoral student in a clinical psychology program in the US. I have found myself feeling very unsupported by my mentor as well as my program as a whole (e.g., in the past, my mentor not attending a talk I gave at a local conference he was at, etc.), receiving more criticism than praise (this is not just me, but typical for my peers as well). There is also one student in... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

CME funds
The end of the year is coming up and a lot of you all have remaining CME dollars. Unlike other specialties there seems to be limited ways to spend this other than the few conferences, books, and board review programs available. Do any of you have any good strategies here?

National Conference Presentation: Does length determine if it "counts" for ERAS?
I got an admittedly pretty unsophisticated abstract accepted to a national conference. Weirdly, the presentation time is only 3 minutes long with a maximum of 5 slides... They call it a "quickshot" presentation, but it is still orally presented, followed by a Q&A. Does this still count as a national conference oral presentation? It seems that there is another category of presentation that I was NOT accepted for, which they refer to as an "oral" presentation (8 minutes long). Wondering if...

Research Poster Question
Sorry if this sounds like an ignorant question but I am new to the field of research and poster presenting. I plan on presenting a project in which I will be the 5th author of the manuscript. I plan on making a poster and presenting the project at a local conference. Would I list myself as the first author on the poster because I made the poster or list myself in the same order as the manuscript? Thank you so much! (Source: Student Doctor Network)
