UTSW vs. Einstein
Looking at potentially doing ophtho, really prioritize clinical learning
UTSW
Pros
World class clinical education
Students that I have met are super nice and have gone above and beyond to answer my questions and help me
Admin seems very nice
Fantastic experience at second look weekend
T20 ophtho program with a focus on clinical education (which I personally like)
6 of 9 ophtho residents that matched last year at UTSW did their med school at UTSW
Highly ranked...

Zuku vs Vetprep / navle study tools!
Hi everyone, I will be starting my rotations in may and taking the navle in november (ekkkkk). My school will pay for either zuku or vetprep for us to use to study. The last thread about this was many years ago, and I was curious if anything changed. My general understanding is either is fine. Zuku has more pictures, Vetprep more realistic test questions. Please let me know your thoughts.
Also I like to have all different mediums for learning like podcasts, games (kahoot), youtube...

UMass vs. TCU
UMass:
Pros:
Ranking/established medical school
Research opportunities are abundant
COL in Worcester < Fort Worth
I love the block schedule and the fact that there is a week between learning blocks, a lot of students say it is a life saver and preventing them from burnout
Longitudinal clinical experiences
New building coming
Learning communities
Cons:
Worcester? I'm not a huge city person but I haven't heard great things about Worcester. Personally I like...

Tulane vs Einstein
Einstein
Pros
Really interesting global health opportunities that jive with my background and previous experiences, provide funding and support to do these types of programs
In NYC (kind of), think I would learn so much on clinical rotations in the bronx, the faculty are heavily invested in their community (feel like this is also true with tulane tho)
Commutable to Manhattan where I have friends living, maybe could escape the concrete jungle every once in a while to get to...

Greatest breadth of knowledge in dentistry - OMFS?
I'm a sucker for knowledge. I love the fact that there is so much to learn in dentistry that one can practically never reach the point where there is nothing left to learn. In your view, what would be the specialty in which there is the most potential things to learn? What has the broadest range of topics? Is it OMFS? Or is it something else? That is a small reason for me to gravitate towards it. Even the fact that OMFS requires the CBSE is kinda cool. Despite me currently contending...

MSW: Is school worth investing in?
Hey everyone!
I'm applying to MSW/MFT/Counseling programs now.
I could go to a program that takes itself seriously and expects you to work hard. I'd spend 50K and work a lot harder. Or I could go to a school that charges 18K - also CSWE accredited - not work as hard - and get the same paper at the end.
I would be willing to pay more for a better education. But LCSWs/LMFTs keep telling me that I will learn NOTHING in school. If that's the case I certainly wouldn't want to pay more for an...

4 months of clinical experience?
Hello everyone!
I am gearing up to apply to both MD and DO schools this summer, really excited! I recently started a clinical job in October, and to be honest, it makes me miserable. I've enjoyed helping my patients and learning about the actual clinical aspect of it, but the work environment is just so nasty, and I had a bad altercation with someone today that was completely uncalled for. I want to quit this job and work somewhere else. I started the end of October, and I want to put my...

Struggling to Choose a focus area
Hi everybody!
I am a first-year student who is currently struggling to choose which area of vet med interests me the most. I know I want to practice small animal medicine, but enjoy learning about all of our domestic species. I would like to be able to do advanced surgical techniques for the clinic that hires me after I graduate (TPLO, arthroscopies, etc.), as well as continually learn more about diagnostic ultrasound techniques. I know things might change as I progress through the program...

PsyD vs. medical school?
I’m torn between whether to pursue medical school or a PsyD. I feel like I have a lot of conflicting things to consider. Has anyone ever navigated a similar question? How did you decide?
My thought process:
I absolutely love clinical work. I despise research and find it monotonous. I primarily want to work with clients/patients.
Psychology is my primary passion.
I also love medicine. I could learn about various medical topics, from neurology to urology, all day long.
I...

Clinic Volunteer opportunity abruptly ended
Good morning,
I received the most terrifying news this morning, that I was being terminated as a volunteer lab technician (who draws blood) at my local clinic. The reasons they gave were dubious. They included-
1) Not changing gloves between patients
2) Failing to adequately learn the skills of drawing blood
3) *most importantly* they claim that I solicited medical advice by telling a patient they had a malignancy.
1 & 2 were clearly false. Under the watchful eye of my supervisors, I've...
