Questionable logging of resident cases
We started talking about this in another thread and I'm curious to hear what people have seen. I've attempted to include some relevant text from CPME 320 below.
What's interesting to me is my program had a resident transfer in from another program. They told me that at their original program if multiple residents scrubbed a case the attending would dole out each procedure of the case so that everyone received a first assist for something. I hadn't read CPME 320 at the time and thought it...

Prediction time...
Decided not to put the rest in the thread title...
Prediction: SDN will be sited in a malpractice case arguing for inferior/lack of uniform training of podiatrists... disclosure: I have no inside knowledge about this occuring...just a prediction. Thought of this reviewing a Twitter thread on medmal and how NP cases can offer not be reviewed by MDs because the are not peers...
Edit: Crap just realized the can of worms I potentially opened....this has nothing to do with NPs. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Insurances to take / not take in the office

Aetna better health , “zing” Medicare etc.. I’m thinking they’re some variation of Medicaid. I don’t currently take any of these plans but I have no clue what the reimbursements are like for some of the Obamacare care plans (will never take straight Medicaid ). Thoughts on this while...

schools losing accreditation?
I've heard rumors of at least one college potentially in trouble with apmle board scores.
from the CPME outcomes:
" Licensure examination pass rates:The college is expected to demonstrate a licensure examination pass rate for first-time test takers, averaged over the most recent three years, of at least 75 percent on APMLE Part I and 80 percent on both parts of APMLE Part II."

Could schools take away your acceptance if you do not do well in a core biology class?
got into 2 schools and i'm just finishing up my senior year of undergrad. I'm taking 6 courses, doing A and above in 5 of them and I might end up getting like a D or a C (hopefully not F) on Human Anatomy course. No where in my acceptance letters do they mention keeping up the same GPA or whatever, so I'm curious, would they take away my acceptance if I don't do well in my human anatomy course?

What are some things you've refused to do?
A patient comes to you with a foot and ankle problem. It's within your scope of practice, but you elect not to do anything. You either refer out, or just tell the patient sorry I can't/don't want to do anything (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Does Shaq have a fused 1st MTPJ

Jobs and Graduation... feeling dejected
Sorry for being a bit negative here, but I need to vent, want any advice, and want to make any juniors and pre-pods aware.
I am having absolutely terrible luck finding a decent job. By decent I mean pays about $200K and allows for full scope. I'm just about done a PMSR/RRA-36 at a trauma center - I've done everything from hammertoes and wound care to TARS, trimalls, and calc fxs. I've worked with vascular, hand, plastics, trauma, etc. I've made friends in all these specialties, with...
