What ’s the next logical step? (Advice)
To whomever is willing to impart advice, I ask what should my next steps be? What would your next steps be? Apologize beforehand for the longer than usual post on here but I’d like to give you a sense of me as to better direct your advice. Thank you.
I graduated from the University of Georgia (go dawgs), this past fall, with a 3.08 overall GPA and a 2.8 science GPA. Prior to attending UGA in the fall of 2015, I attended other colleges in the state and came in with a 3.71 GPA. I’d say I did...

MCG vs. UT Southwestern
Any input is welcome
Medical College of Georgia
Pros:
-full tuition scholarship
-closer to home (albeit not a huge priority for me)
Cons:
-not as well known
-2nd preclinical year is graded
-Augusta isn’t the most interesting place
UT Southwestern
Pros:
-more resources
-Dallas seems like a cool place to live
-better curriculum IMO, for example only 1.5 years preclinical which is all P/F
-sizeable spanish speaking patient population (bettering my medical Spanish is important to me)
Cons:...

Difference between PCOM schools?
Is there a big difference between PCOM South Georgia, PCOM, and PCOM Georgia Campus?
From their websites, it looks pretty similar to me, just different locations.
Thoughts? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Anesthesiologist Assistant or MD?
I’m unsure if I’m posting this in the right place, so apologies in advance if I’m in the wrong area.
I know everyone has a unique situation, so I wanted to explain mine briefly and ask opinions of others on if I should pursue a PA or MD route. When I say PA, I actually mean AA - Anesthesiology Assistant. If I do MD, I’m stuck between surgeon or anesthesiologist.
I am 24 years old and live in Georgia. I’m currently in a job in aviation that pays well, but I’m looking for a career change....

Don't Know Where to Go
Hey SDN,
I'm a senior in high school who is residing in Georgia and is interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. However, before I can begin this journey I must first choose a undergraduate school to attend and I'm conflicted on where to go on one hand I can attend Kennesaw State University ( a small lesser known school) virtually free due to state scholarships and the ability to reside at my parents; but, because it is a smaller school there won't be as many research opportunities,...

DPT Programs in Georgia - Interviewing & Other Questions
Hey all, I meant to start one of these a while back, but haven't gotten around to it until now

Transfer
If I were to transfer from Georgia State University to University Of Georgia would med school look down upon it?

Medical College of Georgia Anesthesiology
There have been a lot of changes over the last decade and most have been positive. I think this program is poised to become more than just a solid place where you can learn anesthesia.
In terms of schedule, a typical day begins by about 6:00am or 6:30am setting up your room depending on if there is a conference that morning (will come in 6am if conference is 6:15). The OR start time is 7:30 am. The exception to this is Monday, which is Grand Rounds (including Journal Club and M&M) and...

CUSOM v. PCOM Georgia
Hey everyone! Time is a ticking and I need to make some decisions about schools. I interviewed at my in state MD school and would love to go there but the chances of me hearing anytime soon are low. I have received acceptances at CUSOM and PCOM Georgia thus far this cycle.
CUSOM
Pros: Close to home, beautiful facilities, comprehensive board prep, faculty seem extremely invested.
Cons: New school, rural area, mandatory attendance. TBH students seemed a little pretentious.
PCOM Georgia:...
