Ten Things Nephrologists Wished Hospitalists Knew?

How Competitive is Infectious Disease?
I'm curious how competitive this field is. Some of my colleagues in IM say Nephrology and ID are really easy to match even coming from a community program. How real is it that ID is easy to match? I've seen the data, but I don't know if there are other variables like self-selection and such (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Dartmouth MPH Interview
Hi everyone,
I've got my Dartmouth interview for the MPH program on May 5th. Would anyone be able to shed some light regarding the interview, types of questions, etc?
I'm a bit nervous because I'm applying from outside the US (I was born in the US but grew up and studied abroad) and don't have a lot of experience interviewing.
My background:
Finished med school in India
Practiced as a doctor for 3 years
6 months research experience in infectious diseases
Few volunteer experiences...

Favorite pharmacy related podcasts?
Just starting to get more into them during my long walks (nothing else to do during this lockdown). What do you all listen to? Mainly interested in infectious disease, critical care, and emergency medicine. Most of what I have found and more physician related, which is OK, but prefer something more directed at drug therapy (vs diagnosis, etc). I have listened to EM RAP and EM CRIT. thanks (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Malaria-resistant red blood cells for malaria patients?
Infectious disease docs,
Do you recommend transfusion / exchange transfusion of malaria-resistant RBCs for Plasmodium falciparum malaria patients (especially now that parasites are becoming drug-resistant)?
Some background for those unfamiliar with malaria: Type O RBCs (universal donor RBCs) are malaria-resistant along with sickle trait RBCs and many others. Evolution selected for type O RBCs and sickle cell trait RBCs due to a survival advantage with Pf malaria. These RBCs are found...
