Will EMT Litigation ruin my Med School Chances?
Hey everyone! I need some advice.
I work as an EMT. I recently got into an accident while driving the ambulance with a patient inside to the hospital. The patient was stable. It was the night shift and I was running ALS OPS so I had been driving most of the night. I fell asleep behind the wheel. No one got hurt thankfully, but the vehicle was pretty badly damaged.
There's a pretty good chance that the EMS company will get sued and obviously, I'd be implicated. I don't have to mention in...

2024-2025 AMCAS Certification Update - Use of AI
An eagle-eyed pre-health advisor noticed that there was an update to the AMCAS certification statement in regards to AI:
I certify that all my writing, including personal comments, essays for MD-PhD applicants, and descriptions of work/activities, is my own. Although I may utilize mentors, peers, advisors, and/or AI tools for brainstorming, proofreading, or editing, my final submission is a true reflection of my own work and represents my experiences. I acknowledge that...

WL Dilemma
I'm on the WL for my top school right now, but as a non-trad with a family, rushing around to move 14+ hours away a week or two before classes start is really not fair to put them through. We essentially have to buy a house with our family circumstances so it would also be kind of nuts to put that mostly on my husband to handle while I'm trying to get ready for med school.
I'm also starting a new work opportunity with a 1 year contract attached in July, assuming I don't hear back by then. I...

146/154 GRE score
How "bad" is 146(v)/154(m) vs 150/150 that is a typical minimum required. In other words art 150 really the minimums, or is 300 total a more important number? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

UCSD vs Case
Western
Hi everyone! I’ve been torn for a while, but to be honest, I think I’m leaning towards UCSD. Attended second look for both schools. I am from Akron (45 min from Case) but attend undergrad in NC (8 hr drive from home) and am honestly only home ~3 times a year for breaks, but do a good job staying in touch with my mom. I’ve spent summers in NC and Boston and studied abroad in London, so living independently/moving/establishing and managing on my own isn’t a huge concern...

BPD and ADHD comorbidity
There is a subset of BPD patients that I see that checks all the boxes for ADHD criteria. Now, I know these are treacherous waters, so I always try to check and double-check these cases: can the impulsivity be associated with emotional triggers and chronic feelings of emptiness, or it has a strong motor and learning component as well? Did these symptoms began before 12y.o? Do other family members give similar informations as well? Do the patients report significant sympotms from standarized...

Occupational Medicine?
I have recently heard about occupational medicine and considered it may be a good fit for me at this time. However, I know relatively little about how to get into that field. I'm wondering as to which residency and/or fellowship I would need to have to get into the field. FM? IM? A specific one for occupational med?
I have never heard of someone matching Occupational Med so that's where my confusion stems from. If someone here would be able to enlighten me on this, it would be much...

Question about Dental School PS for Reapplicants
I'm in the process of rewriting my PS for this upcoming cycle and I was wondering if I should mention I'm a reapplicant. I've been debating on leaving it out because I'm reaching the character limit and there are other things I want to cover, but at the same time I've been hearing mixed opinions about whether I should include it which has me confused.
Also, would it be wise to omit any details regarding my struggles with anxiety and how I'm working to overcome them? I wrote about this in my...

Is toronto dental anesthesia program worthwhile to apply? Are these rumours true?
Hey, so I'm a third-year dental student here in Canada, and I'm really into the idea of specializing in dental anesthesia. Based on my understanding toronto is the only school in Canada that offers this. I've been hearing some stuff about the program that's making me second-guess whether I should apply or not. I heard that students are always delayed graduation. One person who was supposed to graduate in 2023 but hasn't yet, and nobody seems to know why.There are no students in the class of...
