Unexpected Paternity leave during internship
Hello everyone. I want to first thank you for taking the time to read this thread and to help share your insight/wisdom regarding the matter of paternity leave. I was accepted into an internship placement at a hospital located within NYC. Shortly after being accepted into the position, I found out that my wife was pregnant and that our baby girl's due date is set for the end of September. My internship began at the end of August, which only allowed me around 4 weeks before our baby girl is... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

What is too much to include in the Other Impactful Experiences Essay
Hi! This is kind of a personal question and I need guidelines/perspective on what I should or should not include. From the outside looking in I seem like your typical privileged white girl. I go to a great college and I have a good family who has always financially supported me. I am a cheerleader and people also tend to project certain traits/lifestyles onto college cheerleaders that are often associated with privilege. However, my life has been full of hardship and trauma that most... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Psychotherapy as a psychiatrist
I'm a med student, and during my psych clerkship I learned that some psychiatrists actually fall in love with therapy and make most of their career doing therapy with patients, and only a small part prescribing. Is that actually something feasible to do with psychiatry? And if you know people who do it, do they bill similarly to a psychologist or would they bill more? I'm just wondering how patients can afford to have a psychiatrist as a therapist... The concept is new to me and I just... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Would you do it again? If not ICU... then what?
I was an ICU nurse before med school, and it was really working in the ICU that drew me to medicine (I'm now an m2). However, with as much as I hear about intensivist burnout and regret going into their speciality, I'm just wondering: would you do it again? And if you would not go into critical care, what would you choose? Were there other things you considered in med school that you wished you had pursued? I loved critical care as a nurse but I'm wondering if I'll curse the day I didn't... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Honest review from pediatricians?
Hello everyone! I love kids but I've felt very discouraged about applying into peds because of it being an under paid, under appreciated specialty that I am told many people regret going into. I have considered many other specialties and then fellowshipping in peds. For example: peds derm, peds ENT, etc. Although I've found that I really love in-patient settings, and don't like out patient all that much. So for me doing peds derm is starting to sound much less appealing. I also love... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
