Clowns
One of the reasons I left my hospital employed job was the lack of any semblance of Leadership.
I might be off base, but I view the filling of shift holes to fall as the feet of the people who call themselves leaders (chair, etc) if no other coverage can be found.

Clinical vs Non-clinical Volunteering
Hey I have a serious question, I have very limited non-clinical volunteering. Like 60 hours, and it was 2 years ago. I’ve been volunteering for 4 hours a week for a year at my local hospital, and about a year and a half more for 2 hours a week. I also happen to work at another nearby hospital as an MRI tech.

Albert Einstein Vs Downstate- Both Schools in Trouble
Hi all,
I’m a NY resident applicant that is fortunate to have acceptances to both Albert Einstein and SUNY Downstate. However if you read the news, both schools are facing headwinds that might impact my education/degree.
Downstate- Not even 2 weeks ago, it was announced they’re closing their inpatient wing of their main teaching hospital. Seems like not a lot of current staff/faculty know their future. I’m concerned this will impact my chance to go to in-house residency 4 years from now...

Middle East FRSD vs FH experience
Hey everyone,
Trying to keep this anonymous as possible, but I’m an army reservist being deployed to either an FRSD or Field Hospital later this fall in the ME. What expectations should I have for the deployment, and any tips you can give from your own experiences? Excited to finally have this opportunity. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Cons
Significantly more expensive (although-- is there any chance for...
