Best place to find free CME?
My employer grants 2 weeks of CME time per year. I already have all of my 150 CME credits, but I need to find some sort of course that takes approximately that amount of time to complete (i.e. roughly 80 hours total of CME).
The course does not have to give official CME Credits, and does not have to just medicine (i.e. it could be public health, medical documentation, medical-legal etc.).
I am having a hard time finding courses which are free or are a reasonable price. If I had to, I...

Hopkins vs UVA vs William & Mary
Hello all!
I am a community college transfer student who needs to decide very soon whether to go to Hopkins, UVA, or William and Mary.
Price Comparisons:
JHU: (full need-based grant for 22-23 years, but might have to study 5-6 semesters)
UVA: 15k (including loans)
W&M: 10k
I am interested in pursuing a neuroscience degree and doing pre-med, but in the JHU portal, they said that getting my first choice of major is not guaranteed. So, if that happens, I have to go with my second choice of...

Obtaining free hyaluronidase?
Crossposting from the dermatology forum:
I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to obtain free hyaluronidase for our cosmetic teaching sessions. We have tons of filler, neurotoxin, etc, through various resident cosmetic grants, but I can't find any resources for obtaining hyaluronidase. We currently borrow it from our cosmetic attending, but it would be ideal to get our own supply for multiple reasons. Thank you! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Stony Brook vs Downstate
Hey everyone! Recently got off the waitlist for Downstate and I have to make a decision soon. Would really appreciate some help in making a decision!
I'm in state, so tuition will be about the same for both. I'm also not yet sure what specialty I would like to go into.
Stony Brook Pros:
They gave me a pretty nice grant
Better reputation
Smaller class size~136
Home hospital
Newer facilities
Away from the city so less distraction from all of my family and friends
More research...

(For a friend) Michigan vs UMiami
Hello,
Making this post for a friend because he doesn't have an SDN.
Notes:
Location doesn't matter to him.
He's interested in Ophthalmology, and Ortho (Prob 70/30) - The only factor he really cares about is he wants to go to the school that maximizes chances to match Ophthalmology
His current mentor has connections at Miami
He's from Canada so the cold does not affect him, but he's also Nigerian so he has experience with the heat.
Michigan (40% scholarship + 21k fin aid grant) [200k...

UTHSC (Tennessee, in-state) vs University of Rochester
Tennessee:
Pros
-No grant-based aid (probably), but IS tuition is cheapish (35K)
-The difference between the estimated COA (70k) and tuition+fees is about 30k, which is more than enough to live comfortably in Memphis
-Not blisteringly cold
-Can apply into 3 year MD program after matriculating (but only for FM, IM, peds, med-peds, OBGYN and psych, and would match at a UT program)
Cons
-Huge class size (170+)
-Match list is just okay
-Graded curriculum all four years with hardly any clinical...

AAMC FAP Application - Include the COVID-19 Emergency Grant and/or the GEER Grant?
I hope to apply this cycle and I need financial assistance, so I hope I will get approved for the FAP (my EFC has always been zero). In the section that asks for the applicant's financials, I am not sure if the GEER Grant or COVID-19 Emergency Grant should be included as one of the financial assistances you have received anywhere, I suppose I should include it on the "total value of assistance from federal, state, or local welfare program" section or total Financial Aid section.
