MS in Physiology Ann Arbor
Hey there!
I'm new to SDN and thrilled to share that I've been accepted into the University of Michigan's Master of Science Program in Physiology for Fall 2024! If there are any other recent acceptees out there, I'd love to connect!
Additionally, if there are any alumni from the program who could offer insights or answer some of my questions, I'd greatly appreciate it. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Help me choose a specialty
I am a med student from another country who is in his final medical school year, and will eventually need to choose a specialty. The problem is I am still not sure about what to do, despite having spent so many hours ruminating about it, nothing truly convinces me.
Here is a list about some of the the things I liked/disliked during med school:
Physiology and pharmacology were my 2 best subjects, and I remember my days reading about that as some of my most enjoyable in med school...

Taking Anatomy and Physiology through an Anthropology Department
I'm strongly considering taking upper level Bio courses at a 4 year university. One course I wish to take is Human Anatomy and Physiology, preferably at a Pre-Med/Bio Major level as opposed to a course tailored to nursing students. I noticed at UAlbany that they do not offer their Anatomy and Physiology course through their Bio Department. Rather, it is offered through the Anthropology department.
I'm just a bit thrown off because I have never heard of a school offering Human Anatomy and...

Study plan for 9-10 months of studying
I am an RN currently in a formal post-bac program and planning on applying to next cycle (2025-2026 cycle) so I still have another year-ish to go. I work per diem, do research and volunteer and am trying to consider all of these in my study plan for the MCAT.
My current plan is to take the MCAT in April/May 2025 and apply for that cycle. I will be finishing my post-bac that Mayand will be taking Physics 2, Human Heredity (bascially genetics) and physiology during that final semester...

Waitlisted at Touro Dental
I interviewed at TCDM on 1/19, waitlisted 2/2 and still haven't heard anything back yet. I've sent in my fall2021 graduate transcript, had a endodontist send a letter of recommendation and my program director for my masters in physiology send one as well. Should I prepare for next cycle? I've only had one other interview. Any opinions would be appreciated ! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

0 interviews this cycle- advice?
Hi sdn! I’m a long-time lurker and i’ve never asked for advice on this forum before, but we’re pretty far into this application cycle and I have zero interviews and 1 rejection, so I’m assuming I have to gear up to reapply. Which sucks, but it is what it is.
I really want to go to med school. I’m fascinated by human physiology and want to know absolutely everything about the human body and how to fix it. So, if I’m applying again, I want to make sure I get in.
My stats:

2018 Grad Do I need to Retake All Prereqs?
As the title said, I graduated from college in 2018. My Prereqs were mostly taken between 2016-2018 with 2-3 in 2013. I did well and had an ~3.8 SGPA. I am planning to take Biochem, Gen Chem 2, & Human Anatomy Physiology 1/2 in 2024. I hope to apply in 2025 as long as I do decent on the MCAT. Mainly I just want to know if an adcom member or previous non-trad with a similar time gap would say I need to retake all my Prereqs or if the 4 classes I am taking in the upcoming year will be...

What is a Pharmacy Residency for Neurology Like? How Do I Make Myself Competitive?
I'm working on going back to Pharmacy school and I know I'm interested in being a Clinical Pharmacist. For those Pharmacists who've completed a residency, how much patient interaction would you say you have? Is the work fulfilling and do you get to learn a good deal about Physiology and/or Anatomy? Does the salary of a Clinical Pharmacist afford you a comfortable lifestyle? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Remediation and residency impact
I’m a first year DO student who is interested in either neurosurgery or neurology. I failed my physiology course and have to remediate it. I’m also considered an international student because I’m from Canada. I’m super concerned for how badly this remediation can impact my chances of getting residencies in my areas of interest.
How can I work to improve and possible help make the situation less concerning? I’d really appreciate all the advice. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Question regarding time between when I took prereqs to applying
Hey,
I graduated with a Human Physiology degree in 2018 so technically I took a lot of med school pre-reqs in 2012-2015. I am a non-trad that is planning to return to school to do a DIY post-bacc in August 2025 - May 2027 and hopefully start med school in 2028.
Will the time between when I actually completed my pre-reqs make them worthless now by the time I apply? I just read that many schools only take pre-reqs done within 5 years and some within 10 years. So technically - many of my...
