Female Large Animal Vets- safety in regards to clients
Hello!
I’m interested in maybe going into large animal medicine, and I was wondering what safety for women vets was like in regards to safety against clients.
There have been several instances of clients attacking(physically and verbally)/ threatening vets in a traditional clinic setting, and I am just worried about what could happen if a vet is alone in a rural area, especially for a late night farm call.
Is this a reasonable worry? What have you all experienced?
Thank you! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

CUSOM VS KCU COM (KC Campus)
Hello All!
I have luckily been accepted to a few programs and am deciding between these two. Please let me know what you all think!
CUSOM:
Pros: 2.5 hours away from me, GME, Awesome student run clinic, ample research opportunities, great match/residency placement
Cons: Graded/ Not pass fail, Monday exams, Rural setting
KCU-COM:
Pros: Very well established, Good match/residency placement, P/F, Urban setting, GME
Cons: 14hrs away, I believe CUSOM has a better match/residency placement (Source: Student Doctor Network)

HPSP/NHSC--is it worth it for me?
I'm sure this question gets posted a million times so my apologies in advance for starting a 1000th thread on it.
Basically unless I get off the waitlist for my in-state school, I'll be attending UAB as an OOS student (~$107,000/yr total cost). I'm potentially interested in specializing someday but not until after a couple years of normal practice after dental school. I grew up in a rural area and would not be opposed to living in a place like that again unless it was some god-awful place...

Mgma 2023
Hey Guys, i am in the process of interviewing for 2025 GI job.
I was wondering if anybody had the latest MGMA data about median/75th percentile wRVU and and the median/75th percentile compensation. I am located in the Midwest.
I am being offered 57wrvu for 8200 of work in small community hospital in a rural area and i know that this rate is being offered by university/academic places . I just don't want to be taken for a ride here.
When i told them that this was a low rate , they said that...

Performance improvement plan, may get fired? Advice.
Am IM hospitalist rural midwest. Have not been at my job very long but have been having constant issues with nurses, APPs, to the point that two nurses were recently fired and I was placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP).
The goals seem reasonable, but doing some research it seems as though a PIP is the first step toward being fired, so I want to know if anyone has experience in having a PIP, if this means I am for certain going to get fired or if I can come back from this, and...

UVM Larner vs Dartmouth (Geisel)
Hello everyone,
I wanted to post this thread to ask people about perceptions of these two schools and which they think might be the better fit for me in particular. What I value most about the programs is not ranking, prestige, etc, but student well-being, as well as location. For full transparency, I am from the South, and don't like the city life. I have lived rural before and prefer the community around rural environments, and college towns are my favorite (like Iowa City, or Burlington...

Transferring Schools for More Clinical Opportunities
Hi! I'm currently a first-year at my undergrad. I'm considering applying to transfer for the Fall of 2024 (my sophomore year).
One of the main reasons is for more clinical opportunities. I currently go to a liberal arts institution in a rural environment and the nearest hospital doesn't do more than 8 hours of shadowing or volunteering. If I were to shadow or get any clinical experience, I would have to drive around an hour to a bigger city. EMS is not an option in the area and basically...

Is working at a community health center worth it when graduating with ~300k in debt
Hello,
I'm an M2 and am interested in either peds or FM and I would prefer to work for the uninsured in suburban or rural community clinic setting, but I do not know anything about how financial compensation works as a doc and if that would be a viable option financially if I'm graduating with at least 300k in debt. I know NHSC is an option for paying off loans but I've heard that it is pretty particular and stringent when it comes to who qualifies and its requirements. I also don't know if...

How do people pay for expensive schools like NYU and USC?
I'm genuinely curious how they make this possible? I can't imagine that everyone does HPSP or goes rural. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Is this a possible repayment strategy?
If I am taking out 500k in loans, is it possible to still work in a big city and only pay 10-20% of my gross income for the first 20-25 years, and then move to a rural location or work in the army to get my loans forgiven or to make enough to pay the tax bomb? Is this feesible? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Rural Job gets 25 Applications!
Just more evidence to suggest this field is over saturated. A friend interviewed at a high paying rural job, (middle of nowhere) and the recruiter mentioned they got 25 applications for one position. People applying from both coasts.
Recruiter mentioned she has never seen this level of interest in a job position from other specialties.
Med students I would think twice before going into this field unless you absolutely hate everything else in medicine.
The job market is better than years...

Interview Bubble Burst
Title I found out that my top choice, and only MD II, that's scheduled for January is almost certainly an II for their waitlist. I have 2 II from DO schools, but for one reason or the other (and unrelated to them being DO) I don't particularly love the idea of going to them (one is muchhhh more rural than I thought and the other has pretty expensive COL and tuition). I'm from NY, so there obviously isn't a shortage of state schools and it honestly just feels incredibly demoralizing that...

CNP 6m/6m vs 1 year neuromuscular and 1 year epilepsy
Does doing CNP fellowship reduce practice opportunities outside of rural communities (privademics, academics in bigger cities) compared to doing 2 years of fellowship and having much more experience with both neuromuscular and epilepsy by doing separate fellowships? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
