Am I crazy for considering a job with a 90 minute commute one way?
Third year of attendinghood. Not happy at my current job. Hospital system was bought out and for us that came with a pay cut and they have recently told us that they intend to let the CRNA's run loose more or less. They didn't just hint about this, they told us it was their priority after the acquisition. Also time off got screwy. You can take as much or as little time off as you'd like. You just don't get paid for it. Used to get 6 weeks paid. In the past year I made $530k... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Roi
I use Luminello and lean heavy into the electronic functionallity. I will have patients sign electronic ROIs to facilitate record acquisition. Some entities balk, and respond back we want written signatures. Thus far I've accommodated and gripe to/with patient their previous places is being ridiculous and some how get a signed ROI, either in office or by slowly mailing to patient and then them mailing back... ROI's typically have a patient cell phone number on there... if you question... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How will the COMLEX change in the future?
Realistically, what do you think will be the long-term effects of the merger? The NBOME was unwilling to even cancel the PE which means they don't like change. I feel like they should at least switch the scoring system to the one that's used by the usmle, so that it's easier for PDs to interpret. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Residency search- all HCAs bad?
I'm aware of the general reputation HCA/CMG residencies have as being awful, corporate pervisions to the concept of clinical education that should be avoided at all cost. I'm aware that they are expanding by creating brand new residency programs or buying up previously independent programs or merging with university affiliated programs. I am not completely aware of the complexities of ED and GME management so I'm unsure how recent mergers or buyouts would affect the quality of education over...

SLU psychiatry unstable?
Can someone here comment on the status of SLU psychiatry? I've heard through the grapevine that they are losing their program director and "half" of their faculty (apparently related to the SSM-SLU health merger). Is this reliable ? How is this affecting the quality of residency education, and does anyone have insight on why this is happening? From looking at their faculty webpage (Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience Faculty), it looks like a small program with only 13-15ish attendings. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Neurology and Psychiatry Merger
I'm medical student going through my rotations and one of the interesting questions I have been asking every service is what role psychiatry has in their practice, or what do they want when they consult psychiatry for their patients. I'm curious what the opinion is of merging psychiatry and neurology-- on an intuitive level, it appears the field is heading in that direction without acknowledging it, I'm curious as to all of your inputs. To clarify this position, one of the exciting... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
