Advice on free PCAT resources?
Will be taking the exam in Feb 2020 and am trying to prep. Are there any good free resources that people used that is relevant to the 2019-2020 tests?
I've heard from previous forums that AP Bio Cliffnotes , ChadsVideos, and Kaplans (from library) are good resources, however a need a few more resources because I don't think I have enough practice test material. NextStep no longer has PCAT practice tests posted online, and a few people said that was helpful, but I can't use it now since...

The Primary Benefit of Using a Reverse Phone Number Listings
by nuralan009 (Posted Tue Dec 17, 2019 3:51 am) Everyone who has a telephone, whether land line or mobile, will have had at least one number pop up on their screen phone number list that they do not know. Unfortunately, a lot of people have several unknown numbers pop up on a daily basis, which can be somewhat frustrating to say the least.Whilst many years ago there may have been nothing that could have been done to prevent or combat the problem of recurring unknown callers, today that is completely different and with the help of a reverse phone number listings service, it is possible to identify who is calling, with actio...

To DOs currently interviewing at IM programs
Questions for you all: what resources and methods did you use when applying to residency? Did you use Doximity database and/or Freida database? How many audition rotations did you do? Are they easy or hard to set up? Are you getting lots of interviews so far (including places you did audition at)? To how many programs did you apply to? West coast, East coast, Midwest, South or everywhere? What would you say the typical step scores are among people you've been interviewing with so far? Are...

Cardiology fellowship program reviews. Facts and impressions
I used this forum a lot in the past. Here is my 2 cents and time to give back.
The data listed below represent the info for the calendar year of 2019, and can be different if you look up next year or later.
First off, it's difficult to understand & compare what each institution does as essentially no two program will train you the same way. However, certain things are quantifiable such as PCI volume, transplant, ICDs etc. Please find some helpful links to databases below:

TCU & UNTHSC vs. KCU-Joplin vs. DMU vs. State MD School
TCU & UNTHSC
- MD school and I would be their 2nd class
- Small class size (60)
- Fort Worth is nice (Cost of living high)
- Scholarly pursuit program that requires you to publish before you graduate (helps with residency)
- Pass/Fail
- Duel affiliation with Texas Christian University and University of North Texas Health Science Center ( 2 sets of libraries, offices, etc.)
- Most expensive
- No history of board scores or residency matches
- Farthest from my family
KCU-Joplin
-...

Is it normal to have serious doubts if you made a big mistake going to med school?
I just started few weeks ago. The loneliness is really starting to set in as I sit for hours in the library every night. I was so excited to start med school, but then I see my high school/college peers move on with your lives, get actual jobs, start a family, have kids, go on vacations, etc. I don't have any of that.
I sometimes ask myself, is this really worth the next 7 years of my life?

Kaplan / Pass program - LIVE lectures
Hey guys, needed an opinion from people who have done the 14 week or 12 week program from Kaplan or Pass.
Kaplan 14 weeks starts October 2019
Pass program 12 weeks starts September 15th 2019
How good was it?
Do you recommend or not recommend it? & why?
Do you think it's a waste of time compared to studying yourself at the library?
Any information would be great!
Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)
