SJB vs ATSU SOMA
ATSU-SOMA (DO) Pros: - they have affiliated clinics across the states and applicants rank them upon acceptance where they would go to entering M2. I got my first choice in a desired area where I would wish to practice - P/F grading - have family and friends in the area too - very small cohort once in clinic Cons: - tuition is about 60k SJB (MD) Pros: - lower tuition, about 45 k - The degree advantage for matching although I'd like to be more primary care Cons: - they grade with...

WAMC/School List Critique: 3.86 cGPA/3.77 sGPA, 519 MCAT, ORM
This is my first time posting, please let me know if I need to edit my post at all! I have made a school list but it's longer than I'd like (I want to apply to around 30 schools) so I want some help whittling it down or swapping out schools if I don't fit them well. I'm worried that I won't get into low yield schools, but that I also won't get into top schools either. I'm mostly interested in a big city (NYC, Philly, Chicago, etc.) or a general urban area and I am interested in primary care... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Good Primary Care Resources
I’ve been moonlighting in an urgent-care type setting a lot recently, but because of the way that particular health system is set up I end up seeing a lot of people for more PCP-y stuff. The challenge of the system is it takes FOREVERRRRR to get followup or establish care with a real PCP or see a specialist - usually 4-6 months. So this leaves me with a bunch of people presenting to the urgent care setting for things that are really better managed by a PCP. Do you all have any... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Medical Education: Toxic?
@Goro Q&A with Goro In the above interview, you indicate that Medical Education has become more toxic in the last ten years. Could you briefly elaborate? Do you mean the process of actually getting into Medical School, which is certainly as full of toxicity as a Dig level of 5? Or during Medical School itself? I've precepted M3 & M4 Medical Students over the years who rotated through my outpatient HMO primary care clinic (not officially affiliated with a Medical School)...

American national trained overseas
Hi everyone. I am French and American. Just finished my residency in France, so I'm a French doctor now. General Practitioner. I would like to practice in the US now. I know that I would have to go through USMLEs and Matching AND do another residency. But is it the only way? As a US national, what would be the easiest / shortest way to practice medicine in the US, other than waiting another 4+ years (USMLEs, new residency...)? For instance, they have an "Alternate Entry Path" for... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
