Anyone who loved physiology, pharmacology, labs, ekgs, etc that went into radiology anyway?
Soon to be MS4 applying to residency in September. I’ve had a rough time figuring out my specialty but at this point I’ve narrowed it down to IM + subspecialty or radiology I think.
I’ve posted before but I really like the knowledge base of IM, but I kinda hate the day to day of it.
Without writing a personal statement I started gaining interest in radiology during my clinical year (second year for my school). It started with looking at the imaging of some of my patients and then evolved...

Help me choose a specialty
I am a med student from another country who is in his final medical school year, and will eventually need to choose a specialty. The problem is I am still not sure about what to do, despite having spent so many hours ruminating about it, nothing truly convinces me.
Here is a list about some of the the things I liked/disliked during med school:
Physiology and pharmacology were my 2 best subjects, and I remember my days reading about that as some of my most enjoyable in med school...

SMP acceptances to Tulane and UNTSCH. Unsure of which program to attend.
SMP acceptances to UNTHSC (TCOM) and Tulane MS in pharmacology. Need advice and help choosing. Cost isn’t really an issue as both of these programs cost similar amounts given that UNT is 3 semesters and Tulane is 2. Neither of these programs have any official linkage unfortunately.
If anyone has advice or firsthand experience with any of these programs, or can connect me with Redditors who have insights to share, I would greatly appreciate it. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

NBME Pharmacology Remediation
Remediating with an NBME Pharm exam that covers GI, Neuro/Psych, Endo and Repro. Need to clear a raw 70%.
1. Will sketchy pharm and uworld be enough?
2. How does one answer pharmacotherapy questions without studying all of the pathologies on the side? It seems like this isnt a pharm test, more so path+pharm in one.
3. Do I need any books beside Sketchy? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Advice Request: Boards Boot Camp for Level ???
I recently enrolled in the Boards Boot Camp course for Level 1 prep. I am looking for honest reviews from people who found it helpful or where they found it not as helpful. I want to get the course done in 5 weeks so that I can start doing Truelearn/COMBANK questions. Is this a realistic goal? How long does it take to complete?
If anyone has any insights or advice on how to approach the program, I would appreciate that. I am having trouble with how the Pharmacology information is presented. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Sorry some dumb medical questions from a PGY1
I have some really dumb questions, if anyone would be willing to answer them!
1. Do you hold all GDMT or just the beta blocker during heart failure exacerbation? What about Farxiga? Is Amlodipine or Nifedipine contraindicated in HFrEF/HFpEF?
2. Are there any formal guidelines on when to start pharmacology for weight loss, such as Phentermine-topiramate?
3. How do you know if a chest tube is currently to suction, on water seal, or clamped?
4. How exactly do you diagnose DKA? Do you need...

NBME “Shelf” (Pre-Clinical) and NBME CBSE Exam Prep
Hey guys, I’m currently an M2 attending a Caribbean Medical School. At the end of our basic sciences program, the school administers 3 NBME Subject/”Shelf” Exams (Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology). These 3 exams determine our eligibility to take the NBME CBSCE “COMP” exam which subsequently determines our eligibility to sit the USMLE Step 1.
As I understand it, not all schools administer these exams and as a result I’ve been hard pressed to find prep materials that are...
