ID job markets and compensation
With the pandemic and the drop in ID compensation, what is the typical salary in academic center vs private practice for ID physician for pure ID position (not doing primary care)? Is the job market pretty saturated in big city? Are most ID physicians practicing both primary care and ID at the same time? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How valuable is ICU nursing experience to med school apps?
Hey everyone,
I am getting ready to submit to schools and have a meh GPA, 3.57, and a decent MCAT, 516.

SNHU Undergrad - Transfer or Post-bacc?
I am 7 months away from finishing my BA in Psychology at SNHU but have realized I definitely want to go to med school. Obviously SNHU is not exactly prestigious, but I decided to go there at the start of the pandemic after having dropped out of a school in Boston due to medical issues (which are all good now). Anyway, I am wondering if it would make more sense to try to transfer to an in-person school (University of Southern Maine) or if it would make more sense to graduate and apply to a...

Biden to forgive 10k to everyone and leave us RPH out, we must unite
Hello everyone. I worked hard to get my pharm.D. For years I have worked long hard hours at Walgreens. Sometimes working with no tech during the pandemic and filling 200 scripts a day and working off the clock. All I ask is for Biden to not discriminate against us front line workers who never missed a day at work to help the community. I know my job is important and even if I have the flu or can barely walk I still come and fill prescriptions because I know the importance of what I am...

Fellow Physician Leaders: Wtf is going on with recruitment/retention?
I have my own theories about what is happening but in the last 3 years in two different senior and executive-level leadership positions, recruitment and retention has been abysmal. I'm sure others out there are also experiencing this and I'm interested in your thoughts and what may have been successful for you to mitigate this.
One continuing trend since the pandemic began is the, "seasoned", cohort of not only psychiatrists but other disciplines within BH/MH who were eligible for...

FSED experiences
Can anyone chime in on what FSED shifts are really like in most places? I know it's tough to generalize and much is dependent on location but I've heard everything from horror stories about transfer difficulties to blissful low stress shifts where ED docs could extend their retirement. I'm particularly interested in FSED experiences post COVID pandemic. It's probably the one environment I have zero experience with and I don't know whether to stay away from them or not?
